Flowers have been an integral part of funeral and memorial services for generations. From lavender roses to white lilies, the floral arrangements you choose speak to the unique memory of your loved one. While carnations, roses, gladioli, and lilies are among the most popular funeral flowers, there are a variety of beautiful options for commemorating your dearly departed. 

Memorial & Funeral Service Planning: Floral Arrangements

Honor Your Loved One’s Wishes

If your loved one had a favorite flower, incorporate this bloom into their funeral floral arrangements. If possible, make your loved one’s favorite variety the focal point of the event decor. If your dearly departed’s favorite color was yellow—celebrate their memory with the sunny shade! If you’re not sure of your loved one’s favorite hue, you may want to choose a color they often wore or one that simply speaks to their nature. This will help convey the unique personality of your friend or relative.

Consider the Mood

While some funeral and memorial services are somber, others are celebratory. Depending on the mood of the event, you may want to adjust your floral choices. For example, pale, white, or neutral-colored flowers may better suit a somber ceremony, while vibrant colors are best reserved for livelier services.

Go Classic or Original

Whether you choose to keep it classic or branch out, when it comes to funeral flowers, there are no rigid rules. Classic choices may include roses and carnations, but whether you envision lilacs or hibiscus flowers, feel free to branch out.
