The nature of your relationship with the deceased can influence your choice of flowers.

For a close family member, deep red roses symbolizing profound love are often preferred. White lilies representing purity are also a widespread choice.

Towards a friend, chrysanthemums and pink carnations can express your affectionate remembrance.

For a colleague or acquaintance, opt for a pastel bouquet or a spray of flowers symbolizing your sympathy.

Funerals offer different ways to present flowers, each type of arrangement conveying its own message.

• Wreaths symbolize eternity and the cycle of life, marking solemn respect.

• Sprays, placed on the coffin, are a direct and personal tribute to the deceased.

• Bouquets offer a more intimate expression of sympathy, which can be chosen according to the personal relationship with the deceased or their family.
