Why Do People Give Flowers at Funerals?

Flowers have been used for funeral rites since ancient times. They convey a message of hope to the family that the deceased's soul is at rest and that they will someday be healed from the grief of their loss.

  1. Grief

    • Sending the gift shows that you are sympathetic to the family's loss and are grieving along with them.

    Comfort

    • The bright blooms can cheer mourners up because of their beauty and because they show that these people are in your thoughts.

    Honor

    • Flowers can be sent to pay tribute to the deceased, such as choosing his favorite ones or favorite colors.

    Absence

    • Those who can't attend a viewing or funeral can send an arrangement in their absence to represent them or their family.

    Decoration

    • Using flowers to decorate the viewing parlor, the room where the funeral service is held and the grave site is common.

    Spiritual

    • Flowers can have spiritual connotations, such as the lily, which can represent the belief that the soul has returned to innocence and is now enjoying eternal life.
