Flowers are used for so many different occasions.
You give or get flowers when you are happy, thankful, grateful or sad.
We all know that funeral service wreaths are very sad and a sign of mourning.
Traditionally there is a message written across on the ribbon and they are placed near the graveside or funeral service location.
Some of these messages are traditional while others are more personalized.
Sometimes what is written on the ribbon of the funeral wreath is agonized over just as much as the eulogy.
While other times a simple message is written with flowers.
They can come in all sizes and shapes.
There are generally made with flowers and can either be fresh flowers or silk flowers.
They are placed upon a stand at the funeral home or service room so everyone can see them.
Sometimes there may be several wreaths at a funeral and is a traditional flower arrangement for many funerals.
People used to place them on their door to let others know that they are grieving.
Now of course, things have changed with all of our technology.
If you have lost someone that will be in the paper and everyone can read it or perhaps you will post it on Facebook or another social website.
We have many ways of letting people know when we have lost a loved one.
Families today still use the this floral arrangement as a way to show our sorrow or support.
Your local florist or funeral home can provide you with help in the selection if you so desire.
