5 mistakes to avoid when giving funeral flowers to the deceased
Our ancestors have a saying “worship is sacred, abstinence is good”, that saying has been applied through many generations. Therefore, in daily life, we need to pay attention to taboos that should not be done to avoid bringing bad luck to ourselves and others. Especially when choosing funeral flowers for the deceased, we also need to pay attention to the things we have mentioned below.
Funeral flowers are not suitable for regional customs
As you know, each region has different customs and practices. Even funeral flower designs in the North and the South are different. When losing a loved one, the family is very sad, there are losses that cannot be expressed in words. Therefore, when giving funeral flowers or condoling with the family, we should pay attention to their actions, words and respect their customs.
For people in the North, they often pay a lot of attention to form, especially solemnity and order. Therefore, when choosing funeral flower models, we should choose elegant colors such as white, purple, minimalist but still luxurious designs. In particular, we should not choose colors that are too flashy and designs that are too strange.
Normally, for funerals in the North, we should choose flower stands that are round, triangular, hexagonal, decorated with flowers such as white roses, white chrysanthemums, white orchids… These are flowers with pure white color, solemn shape, carrying a deep message of condolences.
As for people in the South, they have more open-minded thinking, and there are many Catholics here, so choosing a funeral flower stand also needs to be focused on. Because people in the South pay more attention to feelings than form, eye-catching flower stands with many colors are chosen by many people. Therefore, we can choose flower patterns with colors such as purple, yellow, green, …
In addition, for funeral flowers according to Christianity, there will be many different shapes such as crosses or must have the symbol of a cross.
Funeral flowers are not suitable for the deceased
The next thing to note when buying funeral flowers for the deceased is that they must be suitable for each subject. Life and death are impermanent, everyone wants to live to be a hundred years old, but not everyone is so lucky. There are people who pass away at a very young age, this is a painful, regretful thing that cannot be expressed in words. So if choosing condolence flowers for a young deceased person, we should choose flower stands that are somewhat youthful and modern, considering it a gift to send them to a better world.
When choosing condolence flower patterns for the elderly, there will be a slight difference in that they are solemn, dignified and respectful flower patterns. Therefore, the flower shelf model has a dark color, not too sophisticated but still luxurious and sophisticated.
Choose the wrong type of funeral flowers
Many people mistakenly think that all types of flowers are the same, why do we need to distinguish them so clearly? It is true that there are thousands of different types of flowers in the world and it is very difficult to distinguish each type. But especially on solemn and important holidays such as funerals, we should not choose the wrong type of flower. This not only displeases the homeowner but also causes mistakes for the deceased.
The types of flowers that should not be chosen as funeral flowers are red roses, sunflowers, baby flowers and other brightly colored flowers. Because these are flowers that symbolize life, joy and hope for luck. If you give these types of flowers to a funeral, it is really not appropriate at all.
Write the wrong information about the deceased
It seems impossible, but many people make the mistake of writing the wrong information about the deceased. This can happen if you do not understand the information about the deceased and write down their information. Or in case the information is incorrect, the florist was careless when writing the information on your funeral flower decoration ribbon. To avoid this, you need to understand the information about the deceased and check with the flower shop to avoid mistakes.
Sending the wrong funeral location and time
The worst thing in a funeral is to be late. Because usually the funeral will take place in a very short time of 1-2 hours. Therefore, if you do not send flowers in time for the funeral, you will not be able to give flowers at that funeral.
To avoid all mistakes and send meaningful condolence flower stands to the family, we need to prepare very carefully: a reputable funeral flower shop helps us make the most meaningful and reasonable flower stands, clearly understand the information of the deceased, the location and time of the funeral.
