Funeral Guide

Carnations Long-lasting and fragrant, carnations are a popular choice for sympathy arrangements. The red carnation evokes admiration while a pink carnation stands for remembrance. White carnations stand for pure love and innocence.

Chrysanthemums Chrysanthemums are frequently included in arrangements for funeral services. In some European countries, such as France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Hungary and Croatia, chrysanthemums are symbolic of death and are only used for funerals or on graves. In China, Japan and Korea, white chrysanthemums are symbolic of lamentation and grief.

Roses As one of the most recognisable flowers, roses can be a beautiful part of an arrangement of funeral flowers. White roses evoke reverence, humility, innocence, and youthfulness. Red roses convey respect, love, and courage. Pink roses signify love, grace, appreciation and gentility. Dark crimson roses denote grief and sorrow. Yellow roses are given by friends of the deceased to symbolise their strong ties. When you include a single rose in a bouquet it expresses enduring love for the deceased.

At Willow & Blooms we understand that flowers are a simple and beautiful way of creating a heartfelt personal tribute for a loved one. Whether you are looking for an elegant, traditional or bespoke floral tribute our professional and experienced team will take great care helping you choose a special design.
