A Guide to Choosing the Right Sympathy & Funeral Flowers

Flowers have long been a respectful and meaningful way to express condolences and offer comfort in times of sorrow. They symbolize love, respect, and the continuity of life even after death. However, with so many different types and meanings, selecting the right sympathy and funeral flowers can often be a daunting task. At Kingston Road Flower Market, we understand that this decision is deeply personal and can be difficult, especially during a time of loss.


Understanding the Role of Flowers in Funerals and Sympathy


Flower arrangements for funerals and sympathy purposes have unique roles. They help in expressing condolences and paying homage, serve as a comforting sight for bereaved families, and add warmth to the service.


Traditional Flowers and Their Meanings


Different flowers carry different meanings. For instance, lilies are traditionally used in funerals as they symbolize the restored innocence of the deceased's soul. Roses are also popular, with the color of rose bearing a different connotation: red for respect, love, and courage, white for purity and innocence, pink for love and grace.


Choosing the Right Arrangement


The type of arrangement depends on your relationship with the deceased and the family, personal choice, and cultural or religious traditions. Options range from wreaths, standing sprays, casket adornments to sympathy bouquets.
