What are the best flowers for a funeral, what should I write on the card?

Some really nice suggestions please, it's for a dear old lady.





Maybe a little poem or something.

What are the best flowers for a funeral, what should I write on the card?
get her favorite colors of flowers, and have them put into a saddle flat, they call them, and write to her as if she was over your shoulder and say I will miss you, thank you for all the wonderful times, etc...


I just buried my Mum not 2 months ago....I had wondered the same too.


I am deeply sorry for your loss.
Reply:White lillies are traditional but maybe try come flowers with colour and a nice scent (roses%26amp; freesias).





As for the card, write down what she meant to you, a message from the heart is always better than someone elses words.





Sorry for your loss.
Reply:I'd skip the poem, and go with My sincere condolences, I will miss her terribly, your name. And a nice bouquet of fresh cut flowers. Sorry for your lose.
Reply:Not sure on the flowers. But the card could have





"Thinking of you at this difficult time." and perhaps a sentiment that should they need you then you are there for them...
Reply:red and white roses and something simple like missed dearly anything else seems a bit fake i think
Reply:if sunflowers where still in season i would send them and write on the card all the ways she brought sunshine in to your life
Reply:carnations ( that's what I've always seen)


%26amp; just write a poem about how she touched your life.





my sympathy
Reply:Sorry to hear of your loss.





As for the flowers, think they say lillies are meant to be for funerals.





Writing on the card, what about something along the lines of, "Gone but not forgotten, always in my thoughts"





Short and straight to the point I'm afraid - that's me!

forever in my/ our heart(s)


i know youre smiling down on us/me
Reply:best flowers are lillies, roses, or carnations (or a combination of all 3)





in the card it depends how well you know the person. try not to get a card with a poem in it because they are very depressing because they carry on a bit about death.





my grandfather died a year ago. this is the sort of thing i dealt with. hope it helps
Reply:lillies or a white roses are always nice.....or you could also use her favorite flower as a special way of saying good bye......as for a card, put sorry for your loss and give words of encouragement so that they(the family) can through the tough days
Reply:For the flowers, a nice mixed bunch of chrysanthemums or maybe lillies.





For the poem/verse;


For the precious time we had together,


I'll remember you always,


and forget you never.
Reply:Small tea roses in whatever color the lady liked. White, pink or pale lemon are nice colors to chose with maybe some smaller flowers like Lily of the valley or gypsophilia depending on what's available. I think small arrangements are nicer and more fitting than huge floral tributes. The card should state your feelings and is really a personal expression.. so just write what you feel about her passing or what she meant to you!
Reply:To Live in the Hearts of those we Love, is not to die. a single rose.
Reply:white flowers are always appropriate, but what was her favourite you could use that, and rather than a poem on your card why not write something straight from the heart it's more personal.


I wrote my own poem when my father died, it didn't ryhme but said what I wanted it to say.





" time goes on even though your no here,


seasons change,


flowers grow and birds sing.


..............I miss you."
Reply:If your unsure, why not ask the florist for help. They have plenty of experience in these matters.


You can even have wreaths of flowers made if you prefer.
Reply:whatever flowers they liked, or ask a florist, they'll probably have suggestions





as to what to write, just put "thinking of you" or "you're in my thoughts"
Reply:The best flowers for a funeral is a potted plant.





That way, some one grieving can take it home and nuture it and have it as a rememberance of the "event"...





This way, its a 'tangible' item and they have something to hold and keep the memory alive...





Because all other flowers are tossed on the grave, and left to rot...





I wish you well..

Reply:White lillies.





Rest in Peace Dearest Lady
Reply:Most florists have special arrangements for funerals. Just right your name on the card, no one really takes the time to read the cards at a funeral anyway. The flowers to right from the parlor to the grave site.
Reply:Lillies are the most usual
Reply:i have no idea about the flowers but write in the card how you feel and how special the lady was to you
Reply:Florist may give you better hints.





What is good and bad before a dead person?
Reply:A token charitable donation in her name would be a good idea. Something life assuring, like a children's charity.





As the tide of life washes over us, cleansing refreshing and cool, I add your spirit to my wishes of making this world pure. A donation I'll give the way you gave to me, with love and with kindness, in your memory.





Hope it reads well I just made it up quickly.
