LIFE-AFFIRMING

SYMBOLS

While trends commemorating the death of a loved one are changing, grief therapists agree that the rituals surrounding death help the bereaved. With this in mind, the florist can suggest a number of floral arrangements that can help comfort us through difficult times. Among these is a wreath, which is a circular floral presentation that is often used to symbolize eternal life. During a funeral service, arrangements known as sprays are often placed on easels while a casket spray is designed to be placed on top of the casket. An “inside piece" is a general term used to describe small floral designs that are placed inside the casket. Choosing the deceased’s favorite flower for an arrangement is always appropriate.
