When thinking about funeral flower ideas, lilies, carnations, and roses are some of the most traditional blooms for funeral flowers arrangements, often in subdued and light colors like white and pale pink. If this is what you're most comfortable sending, by all means do so; they are traditional and many find comfort in that. But if you want something more cheery, here are 10 options for different flower arrangements ideas, including a few ideas for building custom unique funeral flower arrangements.
Peace Lily Plant
When selecting the picture funeral flowers ideas, it's good to consider what you feel comfortable sending! If you want to be unique without going too far off the beaten path, consider sending a peace lily plant. It's a different shape from the more traditional lily, but it still symbolizes many of the same things, including innocence and rebirth of the soul beyond the physical world.
This is a perfect choice to send to a grieving coworker or friend at their home or office as sympathy because the plant is subtle and not overly flashy, making it a nice decoration for the home. Additionally, since it is a potted plant it will last much longer than a traditional arrangement and provide comfort for a longer period of time. Someone could even choose to replant it in their yard as a permanent reminder of their lost loved one.
Orchids
No matter the occasion, orchids are a distinctive and unique flower that show a thoughtfulness beyond more traditional arrangements. They are ideal when selecting from sympathy floral arrangements ideas because they mean “I will always love you,†a perfect way to signify how mourners will always keep the deceased in their hearts.
They come in a diversity of colors and are perfect for small to mid-size arrangements for a home or office. So if you're sending a sympathy arrangement, consider making a custom design with this unique bloom.
Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums are a big, beautiful bloom that are perfect as the primary flower in a smaller arrangement or as just one of several featured blooms in a larger arrangement. They come in many colors, but particularly red and white, which symbolizes love and innocence respectively -- both ideal for remembering the passing of a loved one. In Europe and America, they represent sympathy, making them the perfect flower to send as a sympathy arrangement to someone's home or office. They can also be a beautiful addition to a larger funeral arrangement. In Asia, they symbolize rebirth which can be a beautiful way of commemorating a loved one's soul passing on to a place beyond this earthly realm.
Hyacinth
Hyacinths are doubly perfect for a unique custom funeral arrangement. Their bright, sometimes nearly neon, colors are a lovely way to send sympathy or celebrate someone's life in a vibrant way that goes against the grain of the more subdued blooms often used in such arrangements. Whether you choose to have them be the dominant flower or add a pop of color to a more subdued bouquet, they are perfect for celebrating someone who lived a full and vibrant life.
Gracious Lavender Basket
Whether you're sending a basket to someone's home or for decoration at the funeral service, the gracious lavender basket is a beautiful, unique choice that allows you to step outside the box without pushing the envelope too much. The array of purple and lavender blooms is more meditative and respectful than more brightly colored arrangements, but it still adds a welcome pop of color in contrast to all white and light pink arrangements. The inclusion of larkspur, snapdragons, monte casino asters, and more elevates this beyond the typical bouquet of roses and carnations.
All Things Bright Standing Spray
If you want to send a funeral decoration that celebrates renewal and life, rather than focusing on remembrance and grief, this is the perfect option. The bright colors of yellow, orange, and pink will add a cheerful arrangement to the mix and celebrate the vibrancy of the deceased's life. Switching up traditional white lilies for yellow is the perfect way to add a hint of originality to the common funereal bloom.
Celebration of Life Standing Spray
The name of this arrangement says it all! With its orange gladioli, pink asters, and yellow gerbera daisies, the celebration of life standing spray celebrates a colorful life well-lived.

But the brightly colored blooms also express condolences in a cheerier fashion that is more celebratory than somber.

While it may look traditional, with white roses and lilies, it's elegance makes it a standout for any funeral. The lush and vibrant greens make it more special than the traditional easel of flowers.
Garden Floral Basket or Wreath

These are some of the most vibrant arrangements we offer with a mix of colorful, eye-catching gerbera daisies, roses, lilies, Peruvian lilies, spider mums, monte casino and more.
