Why Flowers Play An Important Role At Funerals

There’s a number of reasons flowers play a significant role in funerals and memorials services in so many different cultures. 

Firstly, they’re one of the loveliest ways to express your condolences. They convey a message of respect for the deceased and their loved ones. Flowers also serve as a wonderful tribute and honour to your loved-one.  You can give them a final gift or gesture to show love and appreciation for the deceased.

Did you know that in some Asian cultures, white flowers are often used at funerals? However, here in the UK we tend to prefer a variety of flowers in different colours. 

Our floral arrangements bring beauty and serenity to the funeral setting. Apple Mint Florist have a wide selection to choose from, including the option for bespoke designs. They will create a peaceful and comforting ambiance, creating a sense of solace and tranquillity to family and friends during this difficult time.

Because flowers are associated with the cycle of life and renewal, they symbolise the fragility and ephemeral nature of life, reminding us of its transient beauty. By incorporating flowers into funerals, it can serve as a reminder of the continuity of life and the hope of rebirth or an afterlife, depending on your unique beliefs.

Flowers can provide emotional support during the grieving period. 

The act of sending or receiving flowers can uplift the spirits of mourners. Alternatively, you might choose to make donations to charitable organisations in lieu of flowers, or opt for more personalised tributes. Ultimately, the importance of flowers in funerals depends on personal and cultural beliefs and traditions.
