While anything is possible
when it comes to floral arrangements, florists
commonly use the following designs for sympathy
arrangements.
A casket spray (sometimes known as a casket
blanket or cover) is the arrangement placed
on the top of the casket. The family closest
to the deceased usually purchases it.
A spray is the most common arrangement ordered.
The flowers are designed for viewing from
one side only. Sprays can vary in shape
and size and are usually displayed on an
easel.
An inside piece (sometimes known as an insert
piece) is the term used to describe the
small floral designs placed inside the casket
(for example, pillows, hearts or small bouquets).
Close family members or special loved ones
usually order this type of arrangement.
Ask the family before
ordering anything for the casket.
A wreath is circular in design and considered
by many to symbolize eternal life.
A floral arrangement is a mix of fresh flowers
in a vase, basket or other container.
Other floral designs can represent an organizational
tribute (for example, a Masonic lodge) or
a religious tribute (for example, a cross).
Heart-shaped designs are also quite popular.
Plants are longer lasting tributes that
the family will keep after the service.
Flowers communicate without
words. Because each flower has a different
meaning, sending a
bouquet with specially chosen blossoms is
a special way to communicate.
Daffodils — “You are the only
one”
Daisy — “Innocence”
Dogwood — “Love
undiminished by adversity”
Forget-me-not — “True
love”
Gladiolus — “Strength
of character”
Hydrangeas — “Thank
you for understanding me”
Ivy — “Wedded
love, fidelity”
Marigold — “Grief”
Pink carnations — “I’ll
never forget you”
Red and white roses together
— “Unity”
Red chrysanthemums —
“Love”
Rose — “Love”
Tulip — “Declaration
of love”
White lily — “Sweetness”
Zinnias — “Thoughts
of absent friends”
When ordering your floral tribute, tell
the florist about the person you are honoring
and he or she will help you create a meaningful
and memorable arrangement. |
