Lilies

Many in fact most  funerals will have Lilies on display. They have been accepted as the most traditional flower.  Symbolizing the soul of the departed, Lilies signify hope offered by the renewal process. Most often white is the color selected especially if the service is religious or faith based.

Carnations

For extended services carnations are a wonderful choice. These flowers are extremely fragrant and can last longer that other flowers. Choosing a white carnation as a sympathy flower symbolizes purity and innocence. Choosing pink carnations is an expression of sending thoughts of remembrance.

Chrysanthemums

The mum as it is sometimes referred to, is used in China, Korea and Japan to symbolize grief.  Some European countries use chrysanthemums exclusively for the purpose of placing on graves and as a funeral arrangement.

Gladioli

To send a message of strength and character displayed throughout the life of the departed, gladiolus are often sent. This is a message to the family intended to uplift their spirits at this time of tremendous loss.

Roses

Roses are a flower that is appropriate for just about every occasion. The universal meaning to express love and respect is perfect as a sympathy flower. Each color of rose symbolizes a different meaning. Red for example are the love and respect. Pink roses reflect a sign of appreciation and grace. Yellow are typically used if the person you are honoring is a close friend. Finally white roses convey a message of innocence and youth.

Orchids

The universal message of orchids is “I will always love you”. Like the other flowers, orchids come in a variety of beautiful colors. Pink, purple, or white orchid plant can all be used as a sympathy flower.

Hydrangeas

Often potted plants instead or in addition to flowers are sent for sympathy support. The hydrangea is a common potted plant used. The nice thing is after the funeral the plant may be planted in an outdoor garden so the family will have a beautiful remembrance for several years.

Daffodils and Tulips

Daffodils and tulips can bring encouragement and hope during a time of loss and sadness. They are a very uplifting flower and usually sent directly to the grieving family.
