Flowers sent to
the service are living memorials to the deceased. If you
have missed the service, send flowers to the family home.
Most often, a flower bouquet in a vase or a basket of
flowers is sent to the service. You could also send another
type of floral gift, such as a wreath, an easel or a
standing spray. In some locations, a green or blooming plant
is also appropriate. Some families request designs that can
be sent to local hospitals or nursing homes afterward to be
shared with their patients.
I
would like to send a less somber arrangement that celebrates
life.
A funeral service is as much about
gaining closure following a death as it is about celebrating
the delight and energy the deceased brought to life. For
that reason, selecting vibrant, colorful and bright flowers
are just as appropriate and can add a joyful note of
remembrance to an otherwise somber occasion. The
Celebration of Life Standing Spray
is a vivacious arrangement of orange
gladioli
and
roses,
yellow
gerberas
and hot pink
asters
that offers a spirit of renewal and hope.
I’d like to send flowers to the
memorial that can also be enjoyed at the viewing and church
service.
For
multiple day services, it is best to send flowers that will
be designed in a container with water or floral foam. This
will keep the flowers fresh for the longest possible time.
Design styles include vase arrangements, baskets and
container designs. One such example is the
Most Memorable Tribute,
which includes a vibrant mix of
gerberas,
carnations,
spray roses,
larkspur
and
snapdragons
that have been arranged in a green jardinière. Plants are
also an excellent choice as they may be enjoyed in the home
long after the services are over.

I want to
provide an arrangement for the service, but I don’t know
what the set-up will be that day.
Consider an
arrangement designed on a freestanding easel, which allows
your gift to be enjoyed with ease on the day of the service.
A subtle, graceful blend of whites, pinks and peaches, the
Gentle Thoughts Spray
makes a tasteful addition to any funeral service.
Hand-arranged and delivered by a Teleflora florist, the
spray includes pink
carnations,
symbolizing pride and beauty, white spray
chrysanthemums
for fidelity and rose accents for enduring love. Another
option is the classic
Cherished Moments Spray,
which also arrives on its own self-standing easel. The
arrangement is a traditional palette of white
gladioli
and
snapdragons
accented with brilliant red carnations.

I
want to honor our loved one at the church service in a
symbolic way.
While there are many Christian symbols that pay thoughtful
tribute at a funeral service, one of the most striking is
the traditional cross. A classic emblem of memorial and
faith, this
Hope and Honor Cross
is composed of a rich carpet of white
chrysanthemums,
which themselves are an ancient symbol of pride and beauty.
A vibrant cluster of red carnations sweeps across the cross,
providing a stunning contrast and lovely focal point.
