Funeral flowers?
My grandma%26#039;s funeral was a couple months ago ....all her grandkids had white daisies that they laid on her casket. We all pitched in a got big wildflower bouquet for main flowers.
Everybody is different....did your great grandma have any favorite flowers? Roses are the norm but you can go with almost anything.
Reply:If you can find gladiolus, those are traditionally a funeral flower. Otherwise, do you know if she had a favorite flower, that would also be appropriate.
Reply:You can use any color flower. It doesn%26#039;t matter. Red roses signify love if that%26#039;s what you are looking for.
Reply:White roses are associated with honor and reverence, which makes them a fitting memorial for a departed loved one. Funeral and sympathy arrangements traditionally incorporate white roses as a part of the tribute. As a symbol of remembrance, the white rose represents heavenliness and is an expression of spiritual love and respect.
Reply:Kind of flowers or colors no longer matters. For example, if your great grandma loved Sunflowers, these %26quot;cheery%26quot; flowers are perfectly OK to send to a funeral.
Unless you send a large funeral piece, family of the deceiced will take your flowers home. So, a nice vase or basket arrangement of seasonal flowers that would brighten their home, would be most appropriate. You don%26#039;t want to send anything that looks too depressing.
Another option, which we often recommend to our customers, is to send a basket of assorted plants. Any professional florist can make one of those. Most families would love a basket of plants, because they last longer than cut-flowers.
We are a florist. You might want to take a look at our web site (sympathy section), just to get an idea. Since I don%26#039;t know where you live and we only deliver locally, this shouldn%26#039;t be considered as solicitation.
Reply:I would also say that if she had a favorite flower, go with that, or a favorite color of any kind of flower. You can check with the florist in the town the funeral home is in. A lot of times they will tell you what kind of flowers, or what colors are being sent. If there are other great-grandchildren, you can all do the same if you like too.
