THE SYMBOLIC MEANING OF FUNERAL FLOWERS

Lilies The lily is the flower most commonly associated with funeral services as they symbolise the innocence that has been restored to the soul of the departed. The white lily expresses majesty and purity, whereas white stargazer lilies specifically symbolise sympathy.

Gladioli Gladioli have a tall stem composed of multiple flowers that can measure up to four feet tall. They are typically used in fan sprays, which are classic and elegant arrangements. The gladiolus embodies strength of character, sincerity, and moral integrity. They are available in a range of colours, including white, pink, red, purple, yellow, orange, salmon, and green.

THE type of flowers you choose can express specific sentiments. The traditional language of flowers provides a way to convey your feelings and send a meaningful message.The gift of a plant is often an ideal choice, as they provide a long-lasting tribute to the loved one lost, as well as a constant reminder of the friendship and affection you wish to support the bereaved through the grieving process.
