Meaning of mourning flowers

Flowers have a long tradition of being used to express feelings and emotions. When choosing flowers for a funeral, it's important to consider the meaning of the flowers you choose. Some flowers are associated with specific feelings, such as grief, loss, love and respect.

Here are some examples of common flowers used at funerals and their meanings:

• White roses : purity, innocence, eternal love
• White Tulips : innocence, purity, hope
• White lilacs : sadness, loss, regret
• Peonies : happiness, prosperity, love
• Jacynthes : hope, rebirth, fertility
• Iris : wisdom, faith, courage
• Orchids : beauty, luxury, wealth
• Geraniums : strength, endurance, resilience
• Chrysanthemums : grief, loss, respect
• Gerberas : joy, happiness, gratitude
• Carnations : love, respect, admiration

When choosing flowers for a funeral, it's also important to consider the personality of the deceased. If the deceased loved a particular flower, you can choose to include it in the bouquet. You can also choose flowers that represent his or her interests or hobbies.

For example, if he or she loved gardening, you can choose flowers like roses, tulips or lilacs. If, on the other hand, he or she loved music, you can choose flowers like orchids or geraniums. If he or she preferred to travel, you can choose flowers like chrysanthemums or gerberas.

Ultimately, the choice of flowers for a funeral is a personal matter and depends on the wishes of the family of the deceased. There is no right or wrong answer. The most important thing is to choose flowers that are close to your heart and that express your feelings for the deceased.

Which floral arrangement should be placed above a casket?

In times of sadness and loss, expressing your feelings can be complicated. Choosing mourning flowers is a delicate and respectful way to convey your condolences and show your support. It's not just a tradition, but a meaningful gesture that brings a certain solemnity and atmosphere to the funeral ceremony, and a certain comfort to the bereaved.

Mourning flowers aren't just a collection of flowers and foliage, they're a thoughtful floral arrangement, designed to represent your feelings and pay tribute to the deceased. The size of the arrangement, the types of flowers used, the color of the ribbon, the tones - every detail has its importance and meaning.

The choice of flowers is crucial. Some, like white roses, symbolize purity and eternal love, while others may evoke specific memories or reflect the personality of the deceased. Our expert florists are on hand to advise you and help you make this difficult choice.

The spray is a classic and respected option, often chosen for its elongated shape and visual impact. A floral cushion, on the other hand, can offer a softer, more intimate feel, especially if it's made in the shape of a heart.

Delivery is also an important aspect to consider. Whether delivered to your home or directly to the ceremony site, we ensure that your arrangement arrives in the best possible condition to honor the memory of the deceased.

Ultimately, choosing a floral arrangement is a gesture of love and respect. It's a way of saying goodbye, expressing grief and offering support to those who remain. That's why we take this choice very seriously, and are here to help you through the process with compassion and professionalism.
