The loss of a loved one is never easy. Now, more than ever, sending sympathy flowers to loved ones during their time of grief can truly make a difference.
Sending flowers when a friend or family member has experienced loss has been a tradition for decades and is a way to bring light to an otherwise dark event. Flowers for funerals are a way of demonstrating what the person who has passed truly meant to you. They have the power to express our emotions when we may not be able to and that is why there is so much importance in picking the right flowers.
With so many flowers to pick from, it can be overwhelming to select which ones might be the best to send during a time of grief. From roses to lilies and orchids, each flower represents something different. Even the color of the flower can represent a different emotion. Now that you have questions like “what flower represents love?” or “what do lilies represent?”, let’s find the best flower for you.
These are some of the most popular flowers and are among the best flowers for a funeral since they come in a variety of colors, all with different meanings. A red rose symbolizes grief, respect, and love. Pink roses are a way to express thankfulness to the deceased. White roses represent innocence and youthfulness.
Lilies are often considered to be the classic flower for funerals. According to an article by Everplans (2021), when someone says “This place smells like a funeral home”, they most likely are thinking of the intense scent of lilies. They represent a type of purity, a type of innocence that has been restored into the person that has now passed.
Another popular option for condolence flowers is the orchid. Although they come in multiple different colors, they have a meaning that is universal; “I will always love you.”
Often seen in funeral wreaths and standing sprays, carnations are another flower who’s meaning varies based on color. Simply put, red carnations demonstrate affection whereas white carnations are usually used to symbolize innocence. Something to keep in mind with carnations is that many talented florists are able to arrange them in different shapes to create special tributes.

These flowers have different meanings around the world, but they symbolize truth in North America. They are meant to honor someone who lived a full and happy life.
Now that you know what each flower symbolizes and which flower demonstrates the message you were looking to convey, you are ready to make your funeral flower arrangements. Ordering your flowers and having them sent to the family's home or the funeral home has never been easier.
