THE type of flowers you choose
can express specific sentiments.
The traditional language of flowers
provides a way to convey your
feelings and send a meaningful
message.The gift of a plant is often
an ideal choice, as they provide a
long-lasting tribute to the loved one
lost, as well as a constant reminder of
the friendship and affection you wish
to support the bereaved through the
grieving process.

associated with funeral services as they
symbolise the innocence that has been
