http://www.marshallsflorist.co.uk/funerals.html Although it is a sombre event, the flowers are there to celebrate the life of an individual. Flowers are used on this occasion to express feelings and sentiments, which are difficult to put into words. Therefore, the funeral flower arrangements can be made in a shape that has meaning for the deceased individual. If the deceased had a favourite pet or a hobby, this could also be expressed in a floral funeral tribute. For example, a child could have a teddy bear, butterfly or as with adults their favourite pet – for example a rabbit. Someone who was particularly fond of a certain car could be celebrated with flowers arranged in the shape and colour of his or her favourite vehicle. Sympathy flower arrangements Whilst funeral flowers tend to be sent to the crematorium, church or venue of burial, sympathy flowers can also be given as a gift to the family of the deceased. For example, a range of tributes such as container arrangements, garlands and flower baskets are an appropriate way to share your sympathy.
