How To Choose Funeral Flowers

CPJ Field Bedford 16 JH

Sending funeral flowers is a lovely way of letting the families who have been bereaved know that you are thinking of them.

They can be a fitting tribute to the deceased person and a lovely way to honour their memory. The symbolism of flowers dates back many centuries and is often associated with religion and Greek mythology. Today, there are so many options for funeral flowers that the choices might at first glance appear overwhelming.

It can be hard to know where to start with funeral flowers. We have written a guide to help you select the most appropriate flowers to express your sympathy as well as to convey personal meanings. It is also designed to explain the etiquette involved with sending a floral tribute.

These are some of the things we go through step-by-step when choosing funeral flowers

  • Wishes of the family
  • Faith and religion of the deceased person
  • What the colours of flowers mean
  • Your relationship with the deceased person
  • The personality of the deceased person
  • Meaning of traditional flower favourites
  • What the colours of flowers symbolise
  • Types of funeral flowers

At CPJ Field, our teams are available to assist by ordering your choice of funeral flowers from a local florist. We are also happy to do this for attendees, although you may want to visit the florist in person or order from an online website. These can then be sent to the funeral or family home. And don’t forget, it’s never too late to send flowers, even after a few weeks or months. Attach a heartfelt sympathy note to show you care.
