Creative & Custom Funeral Flower Trends

First of all, let’s think of the purpose of funeral flowers: to show one’s love, and support for the family and the departed. Flowers comfort and soothe us as we say our final goodbyes, but why stop there? Creative florists everywhere are using funeral flowers to construct personalized tributes to fallen friends.

What Kind of Personalized Funeral Flowers Are Available?

The limit is your imagination. Consider your lost friend and the biggest loves in their life. Perhaps they were an avid fisherman, loved bowling, or were closely involved in an organization. Use their favorite hobbies, passions and accomplishments as inspiration for their final tributes. Funeral flower tributes spark wonderful memories of times past, and lift the mood with stories and laughter about time spent together.

How Do I Purchase Custom Flowers For Funerals?

That’s easy! First, find a local florist in your area, or in the location of the funeral. Flower Shop Network makes it easy with our real, local florist directory. Click below to find local florists in any city in the US & Canada.


Find a Florist

 

Next, call your florist directly and discuss your ideas for the funeral tribute. Explain their favorite hobbies or affiliations, and let them know their favorite colors and styles. If you have something specific in mind, find a picture of it or something in a similar style. Send that to your florist to make sure they can create exactly what you’re wanting.

  7. The Minnie Mouse is sweet. I really love this. Great work!

  8. oh! its so beautiful. I really like it. Its wonderfull.

  9. myra johnson says:

    thanks for posting this creative ideas for a funeral flower arrangement, very nice and beautiful, something memorable for the bereaved family when they use this arrangement

  10. I could definitely see my dad having a bunch of those flower guitars at his funeral. I’ll have to see if the funeral homes in Portland would allow something like that. How long does it take to make a creation like that? I know that most people like to have their funerals within a few days of the death.

  11. A florist can typically create something like this in time for a funeral, however the exact time differs from florist to florist. I would suggest contacting the local florists near Portland to see precisely what to expect. Guitar funeral flowers would make the perfect tribute for a father who loved music.

  12. Posies Flowers says:

    These funeral flower pictures are looking really great and inspirational too. Good luck for the future.

    We recently lost the greatest man behind the Carolina Cagers, Dr. William Thomas Dixon Jr …he touched sooooooo many lives & played a major part of my son, Justin’s life after loosing his father 3 years ago. Dr Dixon has been my son’s 2nd dad & the death of him is so hurtful. The funeral arrangements have been made for Thursday, April 30, 2015 in Cheraw, SC. Would you be able to make a wreath of the attachment & have sent to the funeral home. With an response I can be reached via email: snesmithwilliams@yahoo.com or phone 843-898-4091. Thanking you in advance; it would do our souls & his team much if this is possible.
