The symbolism of a funeral wreath
Saying goodbye to a loved one is always difficult. In such moments, you want to send a strong message of support. For centuries, a funeral wreath has been more than just floral work - it symbolises farewell, connection and eternity through its circular shape with no beginning or end.
It also represents the eternal cycle of life: death and rebirth.
With such meaning, you not only express your sympathy but also show that the bereaved are not alone in their grief. Funeral wreaths are therefore a popular choice, both individually and for group tributes by family, friends, neighbours or colleagues, creating a tangible circle of support around the person who will be deeply missed.
Which colours should you choose for a funeral wreath?
The circular shape already carries strong symbolism, but colour choice adds another meaningful layer. Traditionally, white remains the most popular colour. However, in recent years, other styles have become more common: soft pastel tones for a gentle look, or colourful wild-style arrangements that reflect the personality of the deceased.
Within the Fleurop-Interflora collection, you will find:
Classic white: Lilies, white roses, chrysanthemums and greenery symbolise purity, peace, innocence and eternal remembrance.
Soft pastels: Roses, lisianthus and chrysanthemums in shades of pink, cream, peach and lilac create a soft and loving appearance.
Colourful natural style: A mix of vibrant flowers creates a natural, expressive look - ideal for highlighting a unique personality.
Whatever style you choose, the combination of flowers and colours defines the overall impression. Thanks to the expertise of our florists, your wreath will perfectly reflect your feelings.
