Sympathy and funeral
Attending a funeral is an inevitable occasion in all our lives. And often, due to emotional grief we find it difficult to express our thoughts of condolence in words. Flowers have become the universal gesture of showing grief for those who have gone and sympathy for those loved ones left behind. No other gift is more appropriate nor versatile in expressing your emotions during this difficult time.
Floral WreathWreaths
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.

Floral SprayCasket 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.
