Providing comfort to someone who has lost a loved one is often difficult. Sending condolences, usually in the form of flowers, are a common practice. Traditionally, flowers are sent to the funeral home for display during the viewing and service.
Sending condolences to the bereaved person or family's home is also very acceptable, and can be very comforting during difficult times. Floral suggestions for the home may include: tropical plant, orchid plant or a European flower basket, which will last several weeks or months.
Today, it's very common to personalize a sympathy arrangement to depict an aspect of a person's life. If the deceased was a man who loved to fish, perhaps a tribute incorporating a fishing pole and tackle would be suitable. For an avid gardener, a tribute with a garden stepping stone or bird bath would be a perfect choice with a lasting keepsake for the family.
Some of the traditional arrangements sent to the funeral home, include:
- Wreath: A floral presentation often used because a circle symbolizes eternal life.
- Spray: Flowers designed for viewing from one side only. Sprays are often placed on an easel.
- Floral Arrangement: A mix of fresh flowers displayed in a vase, basket or other container.
- Casket Spray:Flowers designed for the top of the casket - usually ordered by the family.
- Inside Piece: A general term to describe small floral designs placed inside the casket. Examples include satin hearts, nosegays or small sprays.
Whatever your preference, English Gardens floral designers can create a beautiful tribute to express your sympathies.
