There are several types of Funeral Flowers. Floral funeral wreaths and crosses are a formal sympathy tribute and are most often chosen by the family, friends, business associates or organisations. Floral coffin lid arrangements are traditionally given by close family members. Floral tributes are usually given by good friends or family members who choose to memorialise the deceased by choosing a design based on an aspect of their personality, occupation or favourite hobby or interest. Pillows and cushions are sometimes given by close family friends and family members. These are often customised as a tribute and pillows and cushions symbolise a comfortable last resting place for the deceased. A posy of flowers, often made up of delicate flowers such as small roses or freesia, are usually presented by children. Floral baskets, a less formal funeral tribute, may be given by anyone and are, traditionally given at burials or cremations. Living plants may be sent by anyone and these are most appropriate when the sender had a closer relationship to the bereaved than to the deceased. Funeral flower arrangements such as bouquets, sprays or sheafs of flowers loosely tied together with a ribbon, are appropriate for anyone to send. Your choice of funeral flower colours may be somber to show of respect and sympathy; alternatively you may opt for brightly coloured flowers as a tribute to the deceased's love of life and vibrant personality. For cremations accompanied by a funeral service, it is appropriate to send any type of funeral flower arrangement that is not normally reserved for family members. If the cremation will not be accompanied by a service of any sort, it would be more appropriate to send an all-occasion type floral basket arrangement.
