Need Help. Goin to a funeral tommorow?
Ask the florist for a reccomendation, they will have the best suggestions since they know the meaning attached to different flower types and colors.
Reply:White Lilies are very appropriate for a funeral.
Reply:The florist should be able to help you send something appropriate. Is it for an older person and a celebration of their long life or a tragic end of a young life? Either way, if the person knows (knew) Jesus as their Savior the stuff they are involved in now will make any flower seen unimpressive. But it is the thought that counts.
Reply:I usually go for white at a funeral for some reason.


I don%26#039;t know the actualy etiquette rule on this per say but....white always seems nice for a funeral
Reply:Get any color YOU feel is appropriate for the occasion. You are able to exercise good judgment, are you not. If not, go to the etiquette forum and ask them.
Reply:Go to the florilist and ask them for there advice they will no best. Remmber not to wear anything white, and im sorry about your friend passing away.
Reply:I know different countries/cultures have different customs. Where I live, in the southeastern US, it%26#039;s the thoughtfulness that counts %26amp; colors don%26#039;t matter. When in doubt, ask the florist.
Reply:Yellow or purple.
Reply:Any color but red. Wearing red to a funeral is like spitting on the grave. I would assume the same would go for flowers.
Reply:Go to a florist and ask for their suggestion.





That suggestion will be based on the age and gender of the person who died.





If a 15 year boy dies, you don%26#039;t want to send a bunch of pink carnations. You%26#039;d probably want to send flower that are the color blue or something like that.





In any event, have the flowers delievered to the funeral home, don%26#039;t take them there yourself.





That way the funeral home will put them on display and the family will see them without having to deal with the delivery.





That is the proper way to do it, no matter type of flowers or arrangement you choose.





Consider also sending a plant, vs. cut flowers.





Cut flowers will fade in a couple of days, but a plant the family can take home and enjoy for months to come.





If not years.





Obviously you%26#039;d want to pick a plant whose flowers are in bloom now.

Reply:Pretty much any color is acceptable, although the most common is white. But you%26#039;ll see coffins draped in red roses, pink, yellow, whatever the person would have wanted. Mostly I would say, whatever you pick, pick only one kind of flower, not a multi-floral bouquet. But if you go to a florist, they will have several different things they can show you that are appropriate.
Reply:pastel colors are good but not those icky grocery store bunches-go to a florist, tell them what it%26#039;s for and it%26#039;s nice to have it delivered too. I%26#039;ve never seen anyone walk into a funeral with flowers.
Reply:lillies are funeral flowers, orchids also good as they represent sorrow and are pretty. So purple/white.
Reply:I tend to go with something white...but if I know the person well enough to know a favorite color...I try to get that as part of the arrangement.
Reply:You can get white or pink roses. The best would be just to go to a florist and they can make an arrangement for you.
Reply:Well considering certain colors of flowers have certain meanings, and I don%26#039;t know if this person is male or female and not sure what this person meant to you, I would say go to a flower shop or on the computer and look at the different varieties, my dad%26#039;s funeral had a lot of white and red.
Reply:Ask the florist.
Reply:White Roses are Pretty Wicked Awesome.
Reply:Carnations are the traditional funeral flower
Reply:Black Roses!
