FAQs:
What is the Etiquette for Sending Funeral Flowers?
When sending funeral flowers, it's important to keep the gesture respectful and thoughtful. Here are a few key points to follow:
Choose respectful flowers: Traditional flowers like lilies, roses, gerberas, and carnations are often the most appropriate. These flowers carry symbolic meanings of peace, love, and remembrance.
Follow any family wishes: Some families may request no flowers, or they may prefer donations to a charity instead. Always check the funeral notice for any specific requests.
Keep the message sincere: When writing your sympathy card, keep it brief and heartfelt. Express your condolences and offer support to the family.
Timely delivery: Ensure that your flowers are delivered either to the funeral home or directly to the family’s home before the service.
What Color Is Not Appropriate for a Funeral?
Bright, bold colors like orange, red, or pink are generally avoided as they can come off as too celebratory for a somber occasion. It’s best to stick to soft and neutral colors like white, cream, pale pink, and lavender.
