We found this to be an enjoyable read and very educational. History of Funeral Traditions
Funeral flowers create a backdrop of warmth and beauty.This adds dignity to the funeral and a feeling of community for those who attend the funeral. The funeral flowers also lend signals of reality. The reality that we have come together to grieve. That reality that someone we love is now gone and now is a time to cherish the relationship we had with them in life. The funeral flowers themself are symbolic of life and death. Funeral flowers have a short life are it is known that they will not last forever. Funeral flowers are sometimes offered a second life, when survivors dry them and press them to be saved and passed down for generations. Dried funeral flowers are often placed inside cremation jewelry instead of ashes. The jewelry becomes symbolic of the life to be remembered.
