    Choosing Flowers for Military Services

    December 6, 2021
    PA

    Flowers have always been a part of the funeral home tradition in Watsontown, PA and beyond. Bringing flowers as a gift for the bereaved is very common, especially when it comes to military funeral services. But what kind of flowers are you supposed to bring to a funeral?

    A great way to start is by learning more about the different kinds of traditional funeral flowers so you can put a bit of thought into your purchase, as each one represents or means something different. Roses, for example, have a lot of different meanings depending on their color. Pink roses are all about grace, friendly love, and appreciation while red roses are for romantic love, courage and respect. Yellow roses, on the other hand, are for friendship. There are tons more to choose from. Carnations are a common funeral flower because, like roses, they mean different things based on color. Red carnations mean affection, pink remembrance, and white innocence.

    Orchids signify lasting, eternal love as they live for much longer than the average potted flower. Lilies, on the other hand, are the most traditional funeral flower as the signify innocence and peace. Many people believe that lilies help give peace to the soul of the deceased. Chrysanthemums, or mums, are the exclusive funeral flower in Europe and many parts of Asia as they are believed to represent grief and truth while also the uplifting celebration of the deceased’s life. Looking for something more light and cheerful? Choose tulips or daffodils as both of these sunny spring flowers represent fresh starts and renewals. They are usually sent to bring cheer to someone in grief. Yellow tulips signify cheerfulness while white tulips signify forgiveness. Finally, while hydrangeas don’t have a known meaning or representation, they are an incredibly beautiful and popular funeral flower. Some people like to think of them as a flower of thanks or understanding as they are easy to maintain and bloom for many years when cared for well.funeral home in Watsontown, PA

    These are just a few of the many different kinds of funeral flowers you can bring to military services at a funeral home.

    After all, they’re going through a loss and will be busy dealing with the ins and outs of the funeral.
