Sending flowers for a funeral to honour the deceased or to express sympathy is a meaningful way to show support and offer condolences during difficult times. At Euroflorist, we offer a wide range of funeral flower arrangements to help you express your sentiments with grace and care.
What type of funeral flowers can I send?
We offer a variety of funeral flower arrangements, each suited to different purposes and preferences. These include:
- Funeral wreaths are one of the most traditional floral tributes and are often sent by close family or friends. The circular shape of a wreath symbolizes eternal life, making it a fitting tribute for a funeral service.
- Funeral arrangements are typically larger floral tributes that can take different shapes, such as a spray or circle. These arrangements are often displayed near the casket or at the altar during the funeral service, adding a solemn and respectful touch.
- Funeral bouquets are designed specifically for the funeral service and can be placed on stands, on stairs or in vases. They are typically larger than sympathy bouquets, but smaller than funeral arrangements, and are appropriate for sending to the service as a sign of your respect and condolences.
- Sympathy bouquets (or condolence bouquets) are smaller, more personal arrangements that are usually sent to the family’s home to express your condolences after the funeral. These bouquets offer a comforting gesture to the bereaved and are often sent by friends, colleagues, or acquaintances.
Popular Flower Choices for Funeral Flowers
- Lilies are a classic choice for funeral bouquets, symbolising the restored innocence of the soul of the departed. Their elegant and fragrant blooms convey purity and hope.
- Carnations are often used in funeral arrangements for their long-lasting blooms and gentle fragrance. They symbolise love, remembrance, and admiration, making them a fitting tribute to a loved one.
- Freesias are delicate flowers that represent thoughtfulness and trust. Their sweet fragrance and graceful appearance add a touch of elegance to any funeral piece.
- Roses, white roses in particular, are a popular choice for expressing sympathy, as they symbolise purity, reverence, and respect. They offer a timeless and elegant way to convey your respects.
Can I send funeral flowers directly to the funeral home?
A: Yes, we can arrange for flowers to be delivered directly to the funeral home, church, or service location. Be sure to include the correct address and delivery time when placing your order. You can always give instructions to the florist about delivery when ordering your funeral flowers.
Adding a Personal Touch
Consider including a heartfelt note or card with your sympathy flowers, or a personalised funeral ribbon with your funeral arrangement. A few kind words can offer significant comfort to those who are grieving, letting them know that you are thinking of them and sharing in their sorrow. Your message doesn't need to be long; even a simple expression of sympathy can be profoundly moving. Don't know what to write on the condolence card or funeral ribbon?
