Flowers Aren’t Always Appropriate

Although sending flowers to express your sorrow and respect is widely accepted, there are certain situations in which sending flowers is inappropriate. Jews and Muslims, for example, do not traditionally receive flowers.

Traditionally, white flowers represent mourning at Buddhist funerals, while red flowers are considered poor funeral etiquette. Flowers are generally not a traditional part of Hindu funerals. The religious belief is that mourners should arrive empty-handed, without sympathy flower gifts.

Sending flowers gifts may be appropriate in certain circumstances. Still, you might want to contact the funeral home or a family friend or relative to get the proper guidance.

Arrangements of varying sizes

Your choice of the flower arrangement will be influenced by where you will be having the flowers delivered. You can send a large standing arrangement directly from a florist shop to the funeral home where the family is holding the service. Consider sending smaller flower bouquets if you send flowers directly to someone’s home.

Funeral Flowers Color

So long as a florist is arranged tastefully, any flower is suitable for memorials and funeral arrangements. For example:

• white lilies are associated with innocence
• pink carnations with remembrance,
• and red tulips with love.

Funeral flower arrangements are usually given in subdued colors. Still, a bright, lively spring bouquet can also serve as a tribute to the deceased.

The Sympathy Card

Words can often seem complicated when you’re trying to describe your feelings. Many well-meaning cards simply say,

• “Deepest sympathy,”
• “With love and sympathy,” or
• “Our thoughts are with you.”

Include the names of those who contributed the flowers as well, if possible.
