Funeral flowers?
My grandma's funeral was a couple months ago ....all her grandkids had white daisies that they laid on her casket. We all pitched in a got big wildflower bouquet for main flowers.





Everybody is different....did your great grandma have any favorite flowers? Roses are the norm but you can go with almost anything.
Reply:If you can find gladiolus, those are traditionally a funeral flower. Otherwise, do you know if she had a favorite flower, that would also be appropriate.
Reply:You can use any color flower. It doesn't matter. Red roses signify love if that's what you are looking for.
Reply:White roses are associated with honor and reverence, which makes them a fitting memorial for a departed loved one. Funeral and sympathy arrangements traditionally incorporate white roses as a part of the tribute. As a symbol of remembrance, the white rose represents heavenliness and is an expression of spiritual love and respect.
Reply:Kind of flowers or colors no longer matters. For example, if your great grandma loved Sunflowers, these "cheery" flowers are perfectly OK to send to a funeral.





Unless you send a large funeral piece, family of the deceiced will take your flowers home. So, a nice vase or basket arrangement of seasonal flowers that would brighten their home, would be most appropriate. You don't want to send anything that looks too depressing.





Another option, which we often recommend to our customers, is to send a basket of assorted plants. Any professional florist can make one of those. Most families would love a basket of plants, because they last longer than cut-flowers.





We are a florist. You might want to take a look at our web site (sympathy section), just to get an idea. Since I don't know where you live and we only deliver locally, this shouldn't be considered as solicitation.
Reply:I would also say that if she had a favorite flower, go with that, or a favorite color of any kind of flower. You can check with the florist in the town the funeral home is in. A lot of times they will tell you what kind of flowers, or what colors are being sent. If there are other great-grandchildren, you can all do the same if you like too.
