The Impact and Significance of Luxury Condolence Flowers
Giving a grieving loved one sympathy flowers can have a larger impact than you might realize. Flowers can convey many emotions that are often hard to express.
Empathy and Respect
Sending flowers when someone passes away is a time-honoured tradition of showing respect and empathy towards the deceased and the loved ones left behind. It is at these times that those who have a difficult time finding words of comfort can use floral arrangements to express their sorrow and condolences.
Personalization and Uniqueness
In memorial flower arrangements are becoming a staple at funeral visitations as a way to send personalized flowers. As funerals often include music, colours, pictures, and poems that were cherished by the deceased, their favourite flower species can also be used to represent their individuality.
Beyond Tradition
Traditionally, funeral flowers were stark and faith-based to associate with death. Modern floral arrangements are designed to convey expressions of emotions towards the deceased while offering comfort to the grieving family. Baskets and decorative vases full of blooms often represent the personality of the deceased and are a great way of thinking outside the box.
Subtle Colour Choices
Since each flower colour has a distinct meaning, choosing a specific hue or shade can represent your relationship to the deceased. Using subtle colours is a respectful and dignified way to express sympathy to loved ones and friends. Vibrant shades of red, orange, or yellow are sometimes requested by the family in honour of the deceased.
Honouring Memories
A florist for funeral flower arrangements in Toronto has the experience and knowledge of what flowers can honour the deceased. Depending on the style or religion of the service, the type of flower, colour, and scent can help honour the memory of the deceased.
Dignity and Reverence
Funeral etiquette calls for an atmosphere of respect and dignity for the deceased and their loved ones. During the grieving process, the visitation and service of a funeral can be considered a sacred gathering oftentimes with specific cultural or family reflections.
