Funeral Flowers?

What kind of flower should i send to grieved family?


Are roses okay? White or Red?

Funeral Flowers?
Did the deceased have a favorite flower? If so, include those in the arrangement. I usually just tell the florist that it's a funeral arrangement and they take care of the rest. Now, this is for delivery to the Funeral Home.





If you are talking about sending flowers to the family, don't ask for a funeral arrangement. That would be awful. Instead, send a pretty FTD or Teleflora bouquet to their home.





By the way, any color is appropriate. Red is for passion -- and can also mean passion for the beauty of life. It is very appropriate for funerals. Pink is for love. White for purity. Yellow for friendship.
Reply:Anything..just not wilted.
Reply:A mixed bouquet is best or even a plant. When my mom passed away we had some people send plants and every time I see and take care of them it reminds me of her and how her spirit lives on.
Reply:carnations -- white
Reply:White is the traditional colour of mourning in many cultures. What you send is not as important as the gesture itself.
Reply:Send a plant!!! Then they can have it forever!!
Reply:i just went to a funeral. and there was a lot of pink roses
Reply:Roses are fine and any color. Of course the flower shop will be a big help in deciding what array to use and of course there are price ranges. Usually you will pick an arrangement of style and type of flowers by who the person was, and what they were like. You may also pick an array that reflects the time of the year or season.
Reply:roses sound nice to me.. id go for the white.. red symbolises love.. i think white is more appropriate x
Reply:Ask the flower shop, they can tell you which is most appropriate. But really I would think any kind would be greatly appreciated.
Reply:there are all sorts of rules about flowers. i think for the most part only a few people know anything of the rules and they are people who are really into flowers.


when you call the florist ask them for suggestions also call the undertaker and ask if there have been any special request regrading flowers or gifts often there have been .
Reply:Lilies, roses, and carnations are traditional for funerals. I would stick to white or predominantly white arrangements.
Reply:Orchids are best.
Reply:Id suggest sending a trio of house plants, that way the family can bring it home and have something living to remind them of what they lost.
