Which colors for funeral flowers?
Guide to appropriate colors for funeral arrangements
The importance of colors in mourning
The colors of funeral flowers are not chosen at random. Each shade conveys a particular message and contributes to creating an atmosphere of contemplation and respect. Understanding the symbolism of colors allows you to choose arrangements that truly express your feelings.
White: the traditional color
White is the most traditional color for funeral flowers. It symbolizes the purity, peace, and innocence of the soul. White lilies, white roses, and white chrysanthemums are particularly appreciated.
This color is universally appropriate, regardless of the age or gender of the deceased person.
Other appropriate colors
- Purple and mauve: Dignity, spirituality, and respect. These colors are often associated with religious ceremonies and are perfectly suitable for devout people.
- Pale pink: Tenderness, gentleness, and affection. Particularly appropriate for mourning a woman or child.
- Deep red: Passionate love and profound respect. Reserved for very close people like a spouse.
- Soft yellow: Friendship and joyful memories. Can bring a note of hope in mixed arrangements.
Colors to avoid
Some bright colors like bright orange, bright yellow, or fuchsia pink are generally considered inappropriate for funeral arrangements, as they evoke celebration and gaiety rather than contemplation.
However, if the deceased had a particular favorite color, it can be touching to subtly incorporate it into the arrangement.
