FUNERAL FLOWERS
There is a long and cherished association between flowers, trees, and funerals that is steeped in symbolism across the cultural and religious spectrum. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that the sacred flower known as amaranth imparted immortality. The A/tecs called their otherworldly paradise Xochitlican, the "place of flowers" Among many Buddhists, it is believed that a lotus flower transports the soul of the departed And Christians equate willows, cedars, and evergreens with death and everlasting life, which accounts for the prevalence of these plantings in American cemeteries. Those sentiments make it quite clear that those who send flowers to the grief-stricken are engaging in an age-old tradition that has proven itself able to bring comfort.
