From the early days of civilization, flowers have been used to convey emotions that words fall short of expressing. Humans have cherished flowers from the beginning. Gardens, meadows, and even wild blooms have captured the imagination of thinkers, poets, and ordinary humans alike. Flowers express the beauty and bounty of nature. But that is not the only thing these can convey.
Not every moment in our lives is sunshine and rainbows. When the winter and rain come, grief becomes an overpowering emotion that sometimes becomes hard to bear.
Flowers can also express grief in a quiet manner. When words fail to fill the void, flowers can bridge the gap between the living and those who have moved on. Various different flowers and their bouquets are used to express grief and condolence and bring a little solace to the lives of the bereaved.
Here is a list of flowers that are appropriate for expressing condolences.
Lilies are the most common flower at funerals. Lilies are considered a symbol of peace and calm in most religions. Lilies suggest that the soul of the deceased has returned to a peaceful state of innocence. The scent we mostly associate with funeral homes is mostly the smell of lilies.
