Wreaths
These are a very traditional floral arrangement for funerals.
Comprised of tightly compressed flowers in a circular shape
they signify birth, life, death and rebirth.
Symbolic Tributes
These are arranged and constructed much in the same manner
as the traditional wreath ,however they can be designed
in a symbolic shape that has significance to the life or
lifestyle of the deceased. Common shapes are hearts, crosses
or pillows etc.
Floral Arrangements
These are most often a collage of fresh cut flowers, artfully
arranged and displayed in a vase, basket or a simple compressed
paper/board container.
Sprays
Sprays are most commonly placed on an easel and come in a
wide range of sizes and shapes ranging from basic ovals
to more asymmetrical designs.
Casket
Spray
A floral arrangement in a low profile shape suitable for
placement on top of the casket. This is a more personal tribute
and is most often purchased by the immediate family members.
Inside Piece
A floral arrangement placed inside the casket and often taking
the shape of a rosary, satin hearts, pillows or a small
floral display.
Flowers For The Home
Often friends and loved ones find it difficult to deliver
a floral tribute before visitation or the have difficulty
with the grieving process and so they find it more appropriate
and comforting to send their sympathy tribute to the home
of the immediate family of the deceased. These are often
comprised of more brightly coloured flowers differing from
those more commonly chosen for the funeral home.
With the increase in the number of funerals due to a greying
population, some new trends are emerging. For instance
more and more, bright and varied colours are now being
chosen and more innovative and dynamic arrangements are
requested. Sending several small bouquets to members of
the immediate family rather than one large one is becoming
more common also. Often these arrangements will include
a keepsake gift or momento for the family to retain.
Flower Parade as the experience, skilled staff and sensitivity
to meet your needs during this difficult period. Whatever
your choice you can be assured it will be done tastefully
and with dignity.
