"Death ends a life, not your memories and relationship with that person."
The world moves towards "natural or green burial, " which minimizes adverse environmental effects, including forgoing embalming, skipping concrete vaults, rethinking burial containers, and maintaining and protecting natural habitat. Natural burials offer a sustainable, ecologically friendly alternative to typical funeral methods for those seeking an alternative to traditional funeral practices. In addition, natural funerals assist in maintaining our landscape by using environmentally friendly materials and procedures and letting bodies return to the ground without the use of poisonous chemicals and containers.
But one thing will remain part of these natural burials too.
The flowers!
Flowers were, are, and will remain an essential part of funerals, and natural burial will not change the floral trends. Wicker, willow, bamboo, and other woven coffins are ideal for beautiful floral arrangements. Typically, an arrangement is chosen for the coffin's top. This might be a single-ended or dual-ended spray. However, if you prefer a more ecologically responsible arrangement, a loosely tied spray could be a good choice because it uses fewer resources.
Because there are so many other considerations to make while arranging a funeral, choosing flowers for the funeral may not be your priority. However, it may be therapeutic to design an arrangement or tribute that truly reflects the spirit of the individual. For example, if he or she had a favorite flower or a flower that comes to mind when you think of the person, you could start from there.
Choosing the proper funeral flower arrangement may be stressful, especially if you don't know your daffodils from your dahlias. However, Woodflowers.com has a plethora of new ideas to inspire you, ranging from selecting eco-friendly sola wood flowers to raiding your own floral garden.
Floral arrangements for funerals come in a variety of forms, such as sheaves, sprays, and wreaths. In addition, people frequently choose a couple of bouquets and a coffin spray to decorate the funeral. This is designed for the top of the coffin and is occasionally cross-shaped in religious rituals.
Another option is a funeral wreath. A funeral wreath is an arrangement of flowers that is circular in shape. It is presented as a gift to a bereaved family or purchased while planning a funeral. The funeral wreath is clearly exhibited at the funeral service, generally on a stand or next to the coffin.
The floral tribute is a unique funeral flower arrangement. Tributes are sometimes specific to the departed, representing a favorite activity or career or spelling out the person's name. Often, these serve as the focal point of the funeral or are prominently exhibited during the procession, such as in the hearse's window.
