Funerals During Covid-19

Funerals During Covid-19

You may be wondering what is appropriate to send to funerals during Covid-19 and we believe that anything you would have sent to the viewing/memorial/service is still appropriate. Just because the number of attendees is limited, it does not mean that your show of support through sending a floral tribute is not appreciated. As a matter of fact, we think it's more important than ever! Take for example this funeral heart wreath that we recently created for the tribute to a beloved mother and wife. Imagine how serene and soothing this design would be in an almost empty funeral home. 

Heart funeral wreath for sympathy A vibrantly colored spray or wreath is just the thing to bring a soft smile and a little kindness during a very difficult time. Not exactly sure what to send? Our talented and thoughtful designers are here to help you decide what is appropriate. 

vibrantly colored spray or wreathFamily funerals are not the same. Limited attendees, barren viewing rooms - just so sad. Floral tributes are appreciated more than ever. There are many options of styles that can be sent from something small that the family can take home to something large and showy that is displayed on an easel. Casket sprays (the floral pieces that are placed on top of the casket that is either completely closed or half open) are a must for a viewing service or perhaps a beautiful wreath of flowers to be placed around a cremation urn. These pieces usually cost more than small designs and are provided by the immediate family. Not sure what type of floral design to send? Blooming and green plants are another wonderful option. 

family funerals are not the sameFunerals during Covid-19 don't have to be bleak and colorless. Flowers and plants can do so much to add to the warmth of the space, even if attendance is limited.  If you'd like to see more of our funeral and sympathy designs be sure to visit our website sympathy section or follow us on Instagram or Facebook where we share daily pictures of what we are creating at the shop.

It's amazing what you can do with 12 carnations and a little bit of creativity. Our Floral Designer Rocio loves making puppy arrangements so here she shares her tips with you! Here's what you will need ~ 12 full size carnations, floral glue, floral tape, a floral container, 1/3 of a block of floral foam and some assorted greenery.  First take your wet floral foam and tape it securely into your floral container.  Slowly start adding the 12 carnations starting with the top to form the head, the ears, the face and the 2 front legs.   Keep going, adding carnations but only using 12 total!  Now he has his 2 front legs, sitting over the edge of the container.  Using the floral glue, add the eyes and the nose. Be creative here.

Never heard of a Grave Blanket? Don't worry, your probably aren't alone. Here in the north east is customary to have a lovely "blanket" made from ever greens and winter accents to be placed on the grave of a loved one.  It's just a nice remembrance during the holiday season to make the graveside look a bit more decorated and festive.  According to Ask.com   "A  Grave blankets are a type of flower design that is used to decorate graves.
