Express Your Condolences with Funeral Sympathy Arrangements
The saddest moment in an individual’s life is the passing of someone dear. Extending your condolences to the bereaved family is best represented with your choice of flowers. Flowers that are arranged beautifully in an arrangement would mean a lot to the recipients as the gesture of giving flowers has always brought comfort and expressed concern as well as affection to the recipient. Flowers basically have meaningful representations of hope and encouragement to the bereaved and are sent to honor the deceased as well. Sending flowers to the bereaved who are going through a very difficult time in their lives is a very important gesture for making them feel that you are there for them and that they have company in their moments of deep sorrow.
Funeral Sympathy Arrangements especially are arranged beautifully in many ways depending on the sender’s sentiments or the color theme used in the funeral service or memorial service. These arrangements are either prepared for the funeral service or memorial service or given to the bereaved family of the deceased in their residence to show the sender’s sympathy, thus, the name Sympathy Arrangements. A separate sympathy arrangement is prepared for the funeral service or memorial service and the sympathy arrangement given to the bereaved is especially prepared to be delivered to their home separately as well.
Sympathy Arrangements
There are many ways a sympathy arrangement may be arranged. It can either be arranged with the use of a single type of flower or a combination of both or more. Speaking of colors, Sympathy Arrangements can come in a single color or a combination of both or more as well just like in the use of flowers. The colors used in the sympathy arrangements may include yellow, lavender, blue, green, white, red, purple and pink in dark or light shades. They also come in different shapes and sizes depending on the sender’s choice. The most common shapes are round, oval, square and rectangle. The sizes commonly used may be small, medium or large.
Flowers Used For Sympathy Arrangements
Sympathy arrangements come in various flowers. Although there are a considerable number of flowers used in sympathy arrangements, the most common flowers used in designing the arrangements are hyacinths, lilies, orchids, chrysanthemums, roses, carnations, and gladioli.
Hyacinths
Hyacinths are the types of flowers that represent grief and demonstrate sadness. Purple hyacinths are particularly used to convey such somber emotions.
Lilies
Lilies are mostly associated with funerals. They come in different colors and varieties. Their colors include orange, pink, yellow and white. They are considered special in the sense that they bloom in their own specific time and such moment is not easy to predict when it will come.
Orchids
These flowers grow in almost all regions of the globe. They are definitely used in sympathy arrangements to express everlasting devotion to the one who has passed away. While they may grow in season, orchids are often available particularly in tropical regions worldwide.
Chrysanthemums
These flowers have an attractive appearance and either come in white, purple and yellow colors. Chrysanthemums have a reputation for bringing a crisp and fresh atmosphere in funerals.
Roses
Roses are very common and used in many various occasions including during a somber occasion. They come in more than a hundred subspecies and species. In funerals these flowers are regarded to exude the most elegance. They express classiness and at the same time maintain simplicity. Yellow roses symbolize love.
