When already dealing with so many mixed emotions, picking the proper funeral flowers can become overwhelming. There are so many different options. Your relationship with the deceased plays a role in choosing the proper funeral flowers and where they should be delivered. Following proper funeral etiquette, if you were not close with the deceased, but are a close friend to the survivors, sending funeral flowers to the home and/or funeral home is acceptable.
When sending funeral flowers to the funeral home, make sure they are delivered a day before the services. Always respect the personal beliefs and wishes of the family members overseeing the funeral arrangements including religious beliefs. For example, if the deceased is of an orthodox Jewish decent would find this offensive and you should send flowers to the home of their family member instead. Pay attention to religious motifs that can be on certain arrangements. If you are unsure of the religious beliefs, go with a funeral flower arrangement that holds no religious motifs.
Some flowers, such as carnations, mums, or lilies are known for their staying power and make excellent choices for an arrangement of sympathy flowers to display at the funeral home, the service, or the burial. Other suitable choices of sympathy flowers that have lasting power are snapdragons, chrysanthemums, and daisies. Most cut greens such as philodendron last quite long and make an outstanding addition to your funeral arrangement.
It can be hard to know exactly how to comfort a friend, associate, or family member who is going through the loss of a loved one. Sending a beautiful flower arrangement is a great step in the right direction to express your condolences and let them know that you are there for them if they should need you.
