According to a study
conducted by the
Virginia Polytechnic
Institute, after family,
friends, and eulogy,
flowers rank first among
those who have lost a
family member or friend
as the most meaningful
aspect of funerals.
Furthermore, at a time
of loss, recipients rank
flowers and sympathy
cards as the most
meaningful of gifts.
Those surveyed believe
flowers and plants are a
critical component of
funerals, providing a
necessary diversion,
something to talk about,
and a bright environment
at a somber time.
Asked to identify gifts
and memorials that
helped a great deal with
grief, a majority of
surveyed respondents
named flowers and
plants. Respondents also
agreed strongly that
looking at the cards to
see who sent flowers is
a comfort.
Flowers show respect for
the deceased, as well as
loving support of family
and friends, especially
when you cannot be there
in person. Flowers also
make for a more pleasant
atmosphere, helping
those present feel as
comfortable and welcome
as possible. With
flowers at a service,
you help create a
lasting and beautiful
memory for those who
have gathered to mourn
the loss of someone
dear.
Even when a charity or
other organization has
been selected to receive
financial contributions
in memory of the
deceased, flowers are
considered by most to be
an appropriate
expression of additional
sympathy and support.
