There is no more correct and sincere way to express grief and offer condolences than to present an appropriate bouquet of flowers. This tradition dates back to the distant past. However, you need to clearly understand what flowers will be appropriate for a funeral.

How to choose suitable flowers

The funeral composition is intended to express condolences and emphasize the individuality of the deceased. After all, it is in memory of him that the event is organized. There are no strict rules regarding colors. The choice most often depends on your personal relationship with the deceased person, as well as his characteristics.

There are several most acceptable tones used in mourning compositions:

• White. This is perhaps one of the universal shades in floristry. With its help you can create a light, delicate and elegant composition for a funeral. This color symbolizes purity and sincerity, which you can express with your bouquet. Roses, lilies and chrysanthemums are often used.
• Red. This is another classic color that is suitable for different occasions. This shade adds depth to the composition and allows you to express sincere love, respect and admiration. Traditional red flowers for funerals are roses and carnations.
• Pink. As a more “light” Delicate pink tones are suitable alternatives to red. Pink flowers will allow you to express the pain of losing a dear friend or girlfriend. They symbolize tender feelings and awe. Current species are roses, chrysanthemums and carnations.
• Purple. Flowers of this color express severity, strong relationships and respect. This is a great choice to honor an old friend or pay tribute to your boss.

It is not at all necessary to strictly follow any recommendations regarding color and specific plants. Shades and flowers can be arranged to create unique mourning compositions, and can also be complemented with other, less traditional colors. Thus, funeral compositions often use shades of the national flag, which is especially important when it is necessary to send off a person who gave his life for his homeland on his last journey. Funeral compositions can also be supplemented with lush greenery, berries, dried flowers and other decorative elements. They are made in the form of wreaths, vertical, free and even cascading bouquets.
