How to choose suitable flowers for a funeral

Sometimes Sympathy bouquet tell you what you cannot say yourself. At a funeral, for example, or during another moment surrounding the death of someone you love.
But which flowers do you choose? There are no strict rules, what is most important is that it feels good.
Maybe they express a memory, or you choose the deceased’s favorite flower or color.
Also special: make a choice based on symbolism. Below we show you what you say with which flower.

Also consider a so-called condolence or consolation bouquet to let the relatives know that you are thinking of them!

Alstroemeria

The Alstroemeria symbolizes a long-lasting friendship. A nice choice when putting together a funeral bouquet for a good friend.
All six petals of the alstroemeria represent a valuable characteristic; understanding, humor, patience, compassion, decisiveness and respect.
You can choose which leaf represents which meaning.

Origin

The exotic alstroemeria is also called inca lily. It is a reference to its natural habitat: the cool mountains of the Andes in Chile, Brazil and Peru.
The flower was discovered there in the eighteenth century by the Swedish researcher Clas Alströmer.
It was he who gave the flower its current name.
