Funeral Wreaths — A Solemn Farewell

Funeral wreaths are a common offering to honor the deceased at funeral homes or private residences, expressing respect and sorrow. The wreaths are arranged in a circular or heart shape, using elegant white and green tones, accompanied by a ribbon with a message of condolence.

What flowers are used in funeral wreaths?

Funeral wreaths are typically made from white chrysanthemums, net chrysanthemums, white lilies, white roses, and white orchids on a backdrop of green leaves. White chrysanthemums are the most commonly used due to their respectful appearance and better durability when the wreath must be outdoors for the ceremony.

Choosing a wreath based on rank and scale

• Basic, compact model — suitable for personal or colleague tributes.
• Large, elaborate model — suitable for formal ceremonies or tributes from organizations or groups.
• Need a lighter option? See sympathy flower baskets.

What to write on the ribbon?

Typically, those of lower rank than the deceased write "Respectfully mourn", while peers or those of higher rank write "Sincere condolences". Check out other sympathy flowers to choose according to the family's wishes.
