Goin to a funeral tommorow?
Ask the florist, they can guide you.
Reply:If you go to a reputable florist, they will be able to help you.
Reply:Peace lilies are beautiful and you can keep the flowers to remember the person afterwards. Each time that it blooms, you remember the person that passed.



I'm sorry for your loss.
Reply:For a female - pink and white carnations are very with some lilac mixes.

For a man i would suggest white flowers with some blues and greens mixed in.

This is what ive seen at funerals anyway.
Reply:white flowers decorated by black things ,

that seems very beautiful!
Reply:If you knew the person who is deceased, perhaps they had a favorite flower? As stated numerous times above, asking the professionals at a florists shop is a great way to choose an appropriate arrangement. Give them a price range and a brief explaination of how you knew the deceased and they can point you in the right direction.

Traditionally, orchids or calalilys are displayed.
Reply:Yellow mums are quite common.
Reply:Just call the funeral home and ask them to pick out a funeral arrangement. Tell them your relationship to the deceased and they will help you with the size of the arrangement.
Reply:You need to go to the Flower shop and they will help you pick out a flower arrangement (by size) that suits how close you were to the deceased.
Reply:****Ive seen all kinds of colors at every funeral ive been to****

***Just choose a nice arrangement***

**I dont think colors really matter too much**

*Unless maybe you knoe the deceased favorite color or flower, then definately go for those*
Reply:Color won't matter as much as type. Most people get mums and carnations. Your florist will have a catalog of appropriate arrangements for you to choose from. I'm going to link you to some floral sites so you can look and see if there is a special arrangement you might prefer. Floral arrangements can be very expensive. When we have a relative or friend of the family who passes away, we usually contribute equally to purchase a nicer arrangement. You might also want to call the funeral home. Sometimes family of the deceased request donations be made to charity in their loved ones name instead of flowers.
Reply:You at the funeral is fine. Flowers are usually sent if you can't attend the funeral.
Reply:My thought on this one is this: Buy a living plant, or bush or tree of some sort. This is something that the family can bring home and plant in honor of the lost one. When you buy cut flowers, they only shrivel up and die. Just a thought.
Reply:I like to go with the season. I would choose fall colors myself
Reply:Usually florests know what kind to buy. Just like for home different flowers for different seasons. Ask your local florest, she will know exactly what to get.
Reply:I think for a funeral WHITE ones will the the ones to get....calla lily flowers....those are the best...



sorry to hear about the loss
Reply:Something pretty, but neither morbid nor flamboyant. Don't buy them as if you were going to for a girl, simply get something classy. Just ask the florist at the store and they'll know exactly what you should get.
Reply:Ask the florist to help you, they have pictures (scrapbooks) to help. It's not that hard.
Reply:Find out what their favorite color was or favorite flower and find an arrangement either with that color ar that flower in it.

If you are not comfortable asking those questions, buy an arrangement - for a man with mainly dark colors - like orange, dark blue, red, bright yellow , and so on and so forth. And for a woman with mainly pastel colors like pink, light blue, white, lilac, and so on and so forth.

If you aren't sure than a green plant in a nice dish garden or a nice garden basket is always nice.
