Choosing the right floral tribute
Sending flowers to a funeral or to the family after a loved one has died is a long-running tradition in the UK and an appropriate way to pass on your condolences . Choosing the right funeral flower can be a little difficult . It is best to ask the person who is organising the funeral beforehand whether or not there is a colour scheme . Wreaths are the flower tributes that are most associated with funerals . They are circular in shape and are suitable for sending directly to a funeral whether you are family or a friend . Funeral crosses also have strong connotations with funeral . However , they are traditionally sent by family or close friends . They are available in a range of colours and styles from most flower outlets .
When words are not enough we have a selection of Beautiful Floral Tributes

They can be made to modern or traditional styles . A tied sheaf looks very similar to a normal flower bouquet . However , it has now been made to suit funerals . The plastic that would usually surround the bouquet has been removed and it is instead tied . It is suitable for any mourner to send a tied sheaf . Funeral sprays are commonly associated with sympathy . This would be an ideal tribute for a friend of the deceased and their family . A coffin spray is chosen by the person arranging the funeral or close family members . It would generally be seen as inappropriate for seen as inappropriate for anyone else to send one . It is advised to send flowers straight to the funeral parlour that is helping to organise the funeral . The funeral director will be able to arrange for the flowers to be delivered to the place of burial / cremation on the day of the funeral . If you know the address of the deceased ’ s surviving family , and you are a relative or a close friend , you can send the flowers directly to them . This means that the family can decide where they would like the flowers to be placed . However , it is important that you send them when you know someone will be available to accept the delivery . When you send flowers , you must include a note so that the family know who the flowers are from .
