Funeral Flowers & Tributes
It can be hard to know where to start with funeral flowers but this guide, and our community of florists, will help you choose a beautiful and thoughtful tribute.
Should I send or arrange flowers?
Many funerals feature flowers, but it usually depends on the wishes of the family. Whether or not flowers are appropriate might also depend on the faith of the person who has passed away, and some families might prefer donations to a charity instead. If you aren’t immediate family, or organising the funeral, check for an obituary or notice in the paper (or online) to find out if the family will welcome flowers.
Types of funeral flowers
There are different types of arrangement, some are usually chosen only by immediate family or the person organising the funeral, while others can be sent by anyone looking to share their support and sympathy.
