Choosing Floral Tributes For Funerals

Sending a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers to the funeral home is a loving and comforting way to express sympathy to a bereaved family. Your local florist will know what is appropriate to send to a funeral, so don’t hesitate to ask for suggestions.

Since these items cannot go to the cemetery after the service, before choosing a non-floral tribute, you should consider several factors.

Is there a family member who is willing to take the item home?
Is it cold outside so that a live green plant may freeze in transit? Remember, they have no body heat and will freeze almost instantly.
Does the family want an item with which to “remember” the funeral?

Flowers represent the cycle of life and death, living, growing and dying.

Most any flower may be used in a funeral tribute as long lasting qualities are not a top priority when the flowers will be placed on the grave following the service.

Tell the florist about the deceased, their hobbies, occupation and interests, so a personal touch may be added to the design.

The casket spray and any flowers inside the casket are reserved for the immediate family. The spouse, parents, siblings, children and grandchildren have the privilege of honoring their loved one with floral tributes adorning the casket.

If there is no body at the funeral home, only an urn or picture, flowers may still be sent to comfort the family. The funeral director will display the tributes in an appropriate manner.

Order early so the florist has enough time to order flowers, design and deliver arrangements to the funeral home several hours before the visiting hours. The flowers should be in place when the family arrives early at the funeral home for their private time with their loved one.

To help the family in the task of sending thank you cards, ask the florist to add your name and address to the back of the sympathy card along with a brief description of your tribute. A group of people sending flowers together may sign the card: The Accounting Department at the Acme Company.

Large families may also sign their cards, The Joe Smith Family or The Smith Family: Joe & Sue, Tom & Sally, Dick & Jane & families. Always add your last name to a sympathy card to avoid confusion should the family know more than one Dick & Jane, or they simply do not recognize your name in their grief. This happens more than you might expect.
