Carnations
Long-lasting and fragrant, carnations
are a popular choice for sympathy
arrangements. The red carnation evokes
admiration while a pink carnation stands
for remembrance. White carnations stand
for pure love and innocence.
Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums are frequently included
in arrangements for funeral services.
In some European countries, such as
France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Hungary
and Croatia, chrysanthemums are
symbolic of death and are only used for
funerals or on graves. In China, Japan
and Korea, white chrysanthemums are
symbolic of lamentation and grief.
Roses
As one of the most recognisable
flowers, roses can be a beautiful part
of an arrangement of funeral flowers.
White roses evoke reverence, humility,
innocence, and youthfulness. Red roses
convey respect, love, and courage. Pink
roses signify love, grace, appreciation
and gentility. Dark crimson roses denote
grief and sorrow. Yellow roses are given
by friends of the deceased to symbolise
their strong ties. When you include a
single rose in a bouquet it expresses
enduring love for the deceased.
