Tips for choosing flowers to send to a funeral
There are some tips for choosing flowers to send to a funeral that depend, among others, on what you want to convey with them, the closeness you have with the deceased or family, etc.
You must keep in mind that there are varieties of colors, types of arrangements, ways to dedicate it… and it is necessary to think about which flower to choose to send to a funeral to be as successful as possible.
Choose the flowers depending on what you want to convey
Giving a bouquet of flowers, centerpiece or crown is not the same and, therefore, they convey different things.
A bouquet of flowers is addressed to the relatives of the deceased or can decorate the deceased’s grave. Show the feeling of pain for the loss, the next step is to choose the color of the flowers.
A funeral flower centerpiece has a conical shape (vertical or horizontal), its main function is to decorate. In this case, it symbolizes closeness to the deceased and to personalize it, you can add a personal dedication.
A funeral wreath is the most typical sending to convey the pain of loss and has a circular appearance. This option is ideal because it symbolizes eternity.
That is why it is important to choose the flowers to send to a funeral depending on what you want to convey. Remember that flowers can give her a happy moment in this complicated situation, so you can try giving her something different and with a more neutral color. While choosing flowers with brighter colors may help relieve that bad feeling.
Take into account the proximity to the deceased
Another piece of advice from Floristería Jericó is to take into account the proximity to the deceased. Although you must choose the flowers to send to the funeral, a fundamental aspect is to take into account the proximity to the deceased.
Not only the relationship with the deceased is relevant, but also with family members, and if the deceased is close to a friend (a relative or friend of your acquaintance, for example), you should keep in mind that you want to show your support for that person.
Choosing a bouquet of flowers to send to a funeral is a complete success when the deceased belongs to an acquaintance or someone close to you.
Choosing a flower centerpiece or wreath for a funeral assumes that the relationship with the deceased was very intimate, or even a close family member or friend.
Consult the funeral home to send flowers
Once you have chosen the flowers, what you want to convey with them and your closeness to the deceased, you should ask yourself: Is it better to give them in person or send them to the place of the funeral ? If you consider that the best option is the second, you have to consult the funeral home about sending flowers and how long it will take to deliver them to the funeral.
