funeral flowers
CLIENT: OZCOPY/SWEETHEART FLORIST
It’s so difficult to know what to say to someone who’s grieving.
There are no words, except perhaps, “I love you.”
In reaching out, and especially if you are arranging a funeral, you want to say something that will relieve, even for just a moment, the starkness that death brings in its wake. You need a way to express your sympathy, but also hope, and the fact that those left behind are deeply loved and cared about.
Flowers have a language all of their own and the highly trained florists of Sweetheart Florist can speak its language fluently. We will help you find the right words, the right flowers and create that floral expression of love. Our branches in Paddington, Zetland, Pyrmont and Rosebery are open 24-hours a day, seven days a week, as is our on-line store. This catalogue has a large selection of flowers for just this occasion. From casket-top cascades or crosses, circular or heart shaped wreaths, to baskets or bouquets.
The memory of flowers.
Traditionally, certain flowers are used at funerals. Lilies are the first to come to mind, symbolising innocence restored, majesty and purity. Gladioli symbolise strength of character, sincerity and moral integrity. Dark crimson roses denote grief and sorrow. While tradition is important and sometimes is the best expression of love at a funeral, we would like to suggest thinking further, to find a more personal voice. Here at Sweetheart Florist, we can create a floral memorial using your loved one’s favourite flower to evoke a loving remembrance of them.
In the days and weeks after the funeral there is a void of often overwhelming grief to be gotten through. You might consider sending a “loving bunch”. A bouquet or a basket of fresh, perfumed flowers to say, “I’m still here for you.” Delightfully yellow tulips and daffodils are a symbol of renewal and fresh starts, bringing encouragement and hope. You might consider sending a live plant. Hydrangeas are a good choice as they can be enjoyed indoors and then later planted outside and are particularly hardy. Our florists can help you select the best plant for your family member or friend’s lifestyle and environment as well as being a living memorial of the one that they’re grieving for.
We are more than just a florist.
