How to Funeral Flower Arrangements

Wreaths and Cypress: These arrangements are generally used at funerals for support or when the family desires a somber look. A popular style for funeral services is the rose wreath or funeral wreath. Cypress is used for funeral flower arrangements because it has a very deep and rich aroma that carries a certain sense of history and mysticism for the family or the mourners. These arrangements are often used alone or as an alternative to more traditional arrangements.
