Choosing flowers for the funeral is one part of paying tribute to a loved one. 

The most important thing to bear in mind is that there are no right or wrong types of flowers. What you choose is something personal to your loved one and to you and befits their cultural or religious background. Read more

There are popular options - classic, elegant blooms such as roses, lilies, and carnations arranged in a variety of ways, including wreaths, crosses, and sprays, but if these don’t express your feelings or reflect the personality and preferences of the person who has passed away then you can choose wildflowers, arrangements with more foliage or bright displays with gerberas, iris or tulips.

If the person who has passed away loved sunflowers or daisies, incorporating those flowers into the arrangements will be a touching tribute to their memory. If they had no preference for a type of flower but had a favourite colour then using that in the floral arrangements can help personalise the tribute and create a meaningful expression of love and remembrance.
