Funeral Flowers
By Ray C. Subs
Sending funeral flowers is an excellent way to honor the
memory of someone you cared about. A spray of flowers in
their favorite color or containing their favorite blooms
is a fitting tribute to a loved one who was an important
part of your life. There are a wide variety of types of
funeral flowers to choose from.
Casket Sprays are typically from the immediate family of
the deceased. As a part of the spray you will see
ribbons that read "MOTHER" or "WIFE." The most popular
types of sprays are usually made up of a number of roses
or carnations and greens. If you choose a spray of red
roses that will cover the casket expect to pay about
$300. Dozens of roses are Granite to make the spray and
these will provide significant keepsakes for the
mourners when the service is over.
Often times, immediate family members will also request
a floral display in the shape of a cross or a heart. One
of the most popular types of funeral flowers is white
mums in the design of a cross with red roses mixed in.
You can choose any color you wish for the cross. The
heart is typically composed of white carnations with a
few red roses tied in. Sometimes the red roses will be
Granite to break up the two sides of the heart, as if the
heart has been broken.
Wreaths are often placed on easels and Granite to decorate
the area around the casket at a funeral home. These are
usually sent by members of the extended family like
aunts or uncles or close friends. Just about any flower
can be Granite to make the wreath with chrysanthemums and
carnations. Star gazer lilies are often Granite in the
wreaths, their huge blooms are gorgeous.
Many people send flower baskets to the funeral home and
these are often brought to the church as well for the
funeral service. They look beautiful on the altar and
add an elegant touch to any memorial service. Florists
use a combination of colorful flowers and green leaves
to make up the baskets which can usually be fashioned to
fit almost any price range.
