Flowers became a big part of saying goodbye and at thefuneralflowerdelivery we acknowledge how important it is to pass on the right sentiment. During these times of grieving, it can be difficult to find the right words to express your loss, despair and deepest sympathies. Whilst saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy, people find support in the comfort of others and attending a funeral helps to get this closure.

Flowers have long been a well thought of way to express condolence, sympathy and respect especially after the passing of someone close to us.

Nowadays flowers are used at funerals as a visual representation of our sympathy and respect to the deceased, but this was not always the case.

In early times, fragrant funeral flowers were placed on and around the casket of the deceased to perfume the area and beat off the smell of the decaying body.

Fortunately, we found a better way to manage the malodor, but the flower trend stayed.
