Appropriate Flowers for a Funeral

The most appropriate flowers for a funeral are those that express your sentiments with compassion, meet your budgetary limitations and are skillfully designed to be pleasing to the eye.

You can choose from a wide variety of colors, types of flowers, attractive foliage and supporting blossoms. Many lily varieties are popular anchor stems and highly sought after as appropriate flowers for a funeral. This includes several varieties of white lilies.

There are the Asiatic lilies such as Roma, a beautiful pale greenish white lily of moderate size and the white Calla lily with its simple design that belies it’s jack-in-the-pulpit family heritage. Funeral Wreath



The stunningly fragrant Stargazer Lily with it’s brilliantly deep pink variegated color is another all time favorite choice for appropriate flowers for a funeral.

Pictured here with complementary ornamentals and soft green foliage, it makes a classic presentation in a wreath mounted on an easel for display.

Casablanca Lily Arrangements

The elegant white Casablanca lily is another popular center point for designs in funeral arrangements. Its heavy fragrance and long lasting waxy white blossoms make it a wonderful choice to comfort the family long after the services are over.

Used as a focal point with supporting roses, carnations or other blooms, the Casablanca lily creates a dramatic statement of elegance and sincerity.

This gorgeous arrangement adds gypsophilia, salal and pitto nigra to the stunning white lilies, carnations and roses. White alstromeria or peruvian lilies complete the design which provides space in the center to place a memorial photograph or urn.


ALL-WHITE MEMORIAL TABLE WREATH

Peace Lily Plant

The simplicity of the peace lily plant makes it a lovely and lasting remembrance and therefore another choice for appropriate flowers for a funeral.

The gracefully shaped blooms are almost paperlike in appearance and the plant is a popular choice for sympathy expressions of all sorts.

This plant has been a traditional selection, gaining recent popularity with the trend toward living plants as gifts and remembrances.

Sympathy Flower Arrangements

Many sympathy flower arrangements are made up of a single color of rose, often red. This can create a dramatic display particularly when designed in the shape of a heart, or a cross.

In the arrangement above, greenery is used as a background for the solid red rose heart.

White baby’s breath (gypsophilia) and ribbon can be used to complete the presentation and provide a tasteful contrast to the deep red of the roses.

Another favorite is the carnation, which can complement either lilies or roses to make a striking arrangement. They also provide an economical alternative to lilies and roses.

Carnations can be tinted to match any shade of roses, lilies or seasonal flower such as the poinsettia at the Christmas season.

Whatever the situation you face, these represent our favorite recommendations for appropriate flowers for a funeral.
