Life is full of changes and sometimes changes can leave you speechless. But flowers can speak for you. Choosing funeral flowers Dudley for a person you appreciate or love is no easy task when you feel overwhelmed with sadness and grief. Therefore, it is best to leave this to a professional florist Dudley, who can help you select the most appropriate flowers and arrangements for the event.

In general, flowers that are part of a funeral rite are the flowers that the deceased enjoyed in his or her lifetime. While with women, it is easier to choose funeral flowers, since they are more attracted to plants of all sorts, with men, selecting flowers for their funeral is quite challenging. However, there are several flowers that are appreciated in women and men funerals alike.

The most loved flowers that are present in almost all funeral floral arrangements are roses. Roses are ambassadors of love and they create a great effect wherever they are placed at a funeral. Pink roses are recommended to be used at a woman’s funeral, because they express grace, white roses at a child's funeral, because they symbolise innocence, and blue roses at a man’s funeral, because blue equals masculinity.

Carnations represent another type of funeral flowers Dudley that are among the most preferred. In fact, in some cultures carnations are used only for this kind of events, because they are connected to concepts like admiration, divine love, and remembrance. Carnations are very appropriate to be used in floral arrangements, such as wreaths. Also, they are cheap and can be purchased in large quantities, sometimes enough to cover the entire casket.

Gladiolus is a type of funeral flower that is suitable for standing sprays. Gladioli are also known as "Sword lilies", due to their flowers that are bulbous and very much similar to those of lilies. Gladiolus symbolises sympathy, but also hope, especially when it is pink. Usually, these flowers are not used in floral arrangements, but more as they are, meaning in a straight standing line.

Chrysanthemums are a popular choice at funerals, because just like carnations, they are cheap and can be used in all sorts of floral combinations. They symbolise love, friendship, truth and peace. Chrysanthemums come in a large array of colours, that is why they are preferred when it comes to a man’s funeral, for which it is more difficult to find an appropriate funeral flower.

Other potential funeral flowers that a professional florist Dudley could recommend are lilies, irises, sunflowers, azaleas, hydrangeas, daffodils, and snapdragons. All of these choices are perfect for a funeral service, as they express gratitude, innocence, faithfulness, constancy, lasting affection and respect.
