Sending flowers for a bereavement is a traditional way to show your respects to the family of the deceased.
Just as everyone is individual, choosing flowers for a funeral is just as personal. Whether you decide to choose the traditional White tones or something bright and colourful, it all comes down to personal preference.
Typically, there are two flower styles available and each one is suitable for such occasions. If you’re choosing to send flowers to the home or workplace before or after the funeral has taken place, then sending a flower arrangement or floral bouquet is the most suitable choice. They are low maintenance and you can include your personalised message for the individual/family.
When sending flowers to the funeral service, typically it’s customary to send a flower wreath, sheaf or hand tied bouquet of flowers. The flower wreath is the most popular style of floral tribute and has been around for many decades. The circle design of the wreath represents the circle of life and an enduring sign of love and sympathy. A funeral Casket Spray is usually provided by close friends and family and is placed on the coffin as a decoration during the funeral service.
