Funeral flowers and Different Religious Opinions

Being careful not to hurt the sentiments of various religious sectors is a crucial part of our lives. However, this takes an even more important turn while attending funerals. Below are some of the world’s most-followed religions with some brief information about how different funeral flowers prevail in each one of them:

• Christianity: Funeral flowers in this religion is accepted as an appropriate way of marking the passing of a human and is also encouraged to be sent to the deceased’s family. 
• Islam: The concept of sending funeral wreaths or sprays is divided among the Muslims. Some believe it is a good gesture representing sympathy, while others deem it unethical as Islam focuses on simplicity rather than exhibitions. 
• Judaism; Sending flowers on funerals is not a tradition in Jewish culture. If you send one, the people on the receiving end may find it offensive, especially during their solemn ‘Shiva’ mourning period. 
• Buddhism: Giving and sending funeral flowers in Buddhism is appreciated, but one should severely avoid red flowers. Red in Buddhism is known as the colour of joy and celebration. Therefore, any red colour, be it shoes, clothes, or flowers, needs to be avoided at all costs. 
• Hinduism: While flowers are an essential part of Hindu funeral rituals, they are mostly arranged by the deceased’s family. Any outsider that brings flowers might cause severe offence. 

Deep Funeral Messages

A funeral is a time to let go of all grudges and a chance to forgive, forget, and say goodbye for the last time. Also, an opportunity to say whatever it is in your heart regarding that one person. It doesn’t have to be an essay but rather deep, meaningful, and genuine. Here are some of our picks to help you express your emotions in a better way. 

• Wherever you went, joy and happiness followed. There wasn’t one person that didn’t love your energy. We’ll remember you till our last breath. 
• When I first saw you, I remember all smiles and sunshine, and to this day, while you lay here in a casket, I can still see your light shining bright. Rest in Peace 
• You’re stepping foot into a place where many before you have already gone, and in time I too shall come. I’ll forever carry you in my heart until we meet again. 
• You might have departed from this earth, but you’re still alive in my heart. A place where no one can take or replace you. 
• To have known you are to know a person that believed in fairytales, positivity, and the good in everyone. I’ll never find another like you. 
•  A room will never get lit with your presence again. However, it will light up with your memories. Rest in peace, dear friend 

Traditional Flower Arrangements for Funeral 

Sending or giving flowers at funerals has been a long going tradition. Adorning caskets, graves, coffins, and other places of worship with flowers to add a scenic view in such sorrowful times is challenging. However, flowers are a source of comfort; their pheromones calm our nerves, and fragrances enhance the beauty of faring well. 

A walkover on some traditional flower arrangements is the most popular among the masses for you below, alongside those ideals for laying down on the graveyards in the coming time. 

Traditional Funeral Flowers 

A wide assortment of flowers gets combined into making funeral sprays and other bouquet arrangements. All these get arranged in various ways depending upon what type of service and sentiments you wish you to display. 

One of our Florists at Daily Flowers quotes: 

 “Without flowers, funerals would have been as barren as the deceased body, with no colour, aura, and light. In other words, one can say that flowers represent the departed soul while the body lays naked in rest underneath the clothes. Adorned with various colours, flowers are the last accessory that a human can wear to look beautiful even in death.” 

Grave Flowers 

Coming in terms with the fact that losing someone does not mean the end of life is a challenge in itself. Anyone that has held a funeral of their dear ones knows how hard it is to bury someone inside the earth that you’ve known your entire life. There’s a sense of reassurance that even though we cannot touch or see the person in real life, we’ll always feel them in our memories. 

As far as grave flowers are concerned, we as florists always recommend fresh flowers when visiting the grave because their pleasant smell instantly refreshes the atmosphere of the graveyard. However, we understand that fresh flowers will have to endure all types of weather such as; sun, wind, rain, and most importantly, frost. Therefore, we recommend long-lasting flowers that can withstand the type of English weather and come in a wide range of colours such as; chrysanthemums, carnations, spray carnations, and gypsophila, etc. 

Cushions and Pillows: 

One of the best choices for funerals is the traditional cushions and pillows that symbolise the deceased’s resting place. It comes in various shapes and sizes meaning you can get one customised for yourself that best fits your budget.
