Funeral floristry
Flowers are a truly unique creature. They are happy and happy, they cheer up, but also help to express deep sadness and pain of loss.
The arrangement of flower arrangements on the grave dates back to pagan times. In antiquity, plants were assigned various symbolic meanings, including they were seen as guides in the spirit world. Today they carry fresh flowers to funerals to lead the deceased on a final journey, to express their pain and grief for the loss.

How to choose a flower arrangement for a funeral?
Fresh flowers symbolize the passing of existence. Natural flower wreaths have been left on the graves for a long time. Natural plants are environmentally friendly. When they wilt, they turn into natural fertilizer and do not pollute the ecosystem with synthetic fibers.
The choice of wreath for a funeral depends on the sex and age of the deceased. We’ll give you some basic tips to help with the last goodbye ordering and buying flowers.
Flowers for a man’s funeral
We choose a cold palette (shades of navy blue, blue, purple) and plants with an elongated shape. The exception is burgundy roses. They are universal and are suitable for saying goodbye to your father or husband. The young man is usually presented with irises, gladiolus, callas or daffodils. For the elderly – chrysanthemums, dahlias and lilies.
Flowers for a woman’s funeral
• Grandma and an elderly woman are commemorated with chrysanthemums and cloves.
• Orange or yellow buds are placed on the woman’s grave. Beloved – scarlet roses.
• The girl is led on the last journey using light colors: white, light pink or cream. They usually buy roses or tulips that are associated with innocence and purity.
• Flowers to say goodbye to the child. When a little man dies, he is presumed innocent and assigned to angels. Therefore, snow-white inflorescences are most often laid. Plant stalks are trimmed, as the compositions must be miniature and well-groomed. From the age of 7, boys receive irises and callas.
Ritual wreaths in world religions
The contemporary world is multifaceted and multicultural, world religions coexist and interact with each other. This is also the case in the farewell ritual.
Among the world’s denominations, only Christianity and Buddhism allow flowers to be laid. In Islam, it is forbidden to bring plants into the cemetery. In Judaism, such actions are condemned but not prohibited.
For Poles, the more magnificent the bouquet, the greater the respect for the deceased. You can give a loved one their favorite flowers. Relatives receive red roses as a symbol of kinship, friends – chrysanthemums, teachers and elders – carnations.
The most important thing is discreet calm shades. Preference is given to mono-bouquets or compositions in which there are no more than three shades of a similar tone. Remember to add green as a symbol of eternal life. Evergreen conifer branches are ideal.
In Christian culture, an even number of buds is considered mournful: it signifies completeness and finitude. If you order a basket or a wreath, a lot of plants are collected in it. The exact number is not important, but there should be no voids between the buds.
