Honour Their Memory with Thoughtful Funeral Flowers

Losing a loved one is never easy, but finding the right way to express your sympathy can bring comfort during a difficult time. At Flower Delivery Hong Kong, we offer a beautiful selection of funeral flower baskets and wreaths, perfect for honouring the memory of those who have passed. Whether the service is Christian, Catholic, Buddhist, or Taoist, our flowers are carefully crafted to show your deepest respect.

 

To Whom and Where Should Funeral Flowers Be Sent?

One of the first questions you might ask is, “Should funeral flowers be addressed to the deceased?” Absolutely. In Hong Kong, it’s traditional to address funeral flowers directly to the deceased. A simple message like “In Loving Memory of ” can be both respectful and heartfelt, showing that your thoughts are with them.

Now, where should these flowers be sent? Typically, funeral flowers are sent directly to the location of the service. For Christian and Catholic funerals, this would usually be the church where the service or mass is being held. For Buddhist and Taoist ceremonies, flowers are commonly sent to the funeral hall or temple. While it’s less common to send flowers to the family’s home before the service, sending a thoughtful flower basket afterwards can be a meaningful way to offer continued support.

 

Choosing the Right Funeral Flowers

Selecting the most appropriate flowers for a funeral is an important decision. You might wonder, “What is the most appropriate flower for a funeral?” For Christian and Catholic services, white lilies and roses are often the top choices. They symbolise purity, peace, and eternal life, making them ideal for such solemn occasions. These flowers are usually arranged in elegant funeral flower wreaths, which can be placed near the casket or altar.

For Chinese funerals, understanding the symbolism of colours is crucial. So, “What do the colours mean at Chinese funerals?” White is the traditional colour of mourning, representing purity and respect. Yellow is also used, symbolising balance and earth. However, it’s important to know what is taboo for Chinese funerals—avoid red flowers. Red is associated with happiness and celebration, which are not appropriate for a funeral setting.

If you’re attending a Buddhist funeral, lotus flowers and white chrysanthemums are often chosen. These flowers represent the soul’s journey and spiritual enlightenment, perfectly aligning with the reflective nature of Buddhist ceremonies.

 

Understanding Funeral Etiquette and Traditions

Getting the etiquette right when sending funeral flowers is essential. So, “What is the proper etiquette for funeral flowers?” When attending a Taoist funeral, for example, white and green flowers are the most appropriate. They symbolise harmony with nature and balance, which are key elements in Taoist beliefs.

Cultural traditions also play a big role. For instance, “What is the Chinese tradition for 7 days after death?” During this period, it’s believed that the spirit of the deceased returns home. Sending a funeral flower basket or wreath during this time is a respectful way to honour the deceased and support the grieving family.

Lastly, “What can you not do after a Chinese funeral?” After attending a funeral, it’s advisable to avoid visiting others’ homes, especially those with newborns or pregnant women, to prevent bringing negative energy into their lives.

At Flower Delivery Hong Kong, we’re here to help you choose the perfect funeral flowers. Whether it’s a simple flower basket or an elaborate funeral flower wreath, our arrangements ensure your tribute is both heartfelt and respectful.
