Reply:chrysanthemum....
Reply:It used to be the lily, but people use carnations a lot now because they are not too expensive and are the right size to make wreaths and things.



I would say use what ever you like, the idea of using whatever was the deceased's favourite is the best bet.
Reply:I'm guessing roses are the most popular.
Reply:Carnations and Roses.But just the smell of roses reminds me of being at a funeral.You should add baby's breath to either one of these.
Reply:Send a wreath style arrangement filled with the favorite flower of the deceased or send the favorite flower of the mother of the deceased.



If your not sure exactly what the favorite flowers are, sending red/white roses will show a loving respect for the family and the deceased.
Reply:Depending on the day of the week the funeral will be held, if you just order a spray or a wreath, you get the oldest flowers in the shop, they only need to be there for one day. Carnations are cheap and florists usually have a lot of them. Special orders such as orchids and lilies are more expensive and are seldom on hand unless its a really big popular shop. The deceased's favorite is always a nice touch. Recently, a live plant is sent to commerate the person's life and and life in the hereafter. The deceased's family can take it with.
Reply:I always go with the deceased's favourite if i can
Reply:White carnations and white roses are usually appropriate. Don't do anything too colorful, because its considered disrespectful. Sticking with white will always prevent you from causing yourself undue embarrassment.
Reply:Red Roses, White Mums, White Daisies, Various Colors of Carnations etc.

Reply:Dasies, but how wierd are you?
Reply:carnations are good.
Reply:I was always told Daises are the 'Death Flower'. Not sure why, maybe because they last long and withering flowers are not what you want to see on a coffin.
