The loss of a loved one is always a challenging experience. At such a moment, it is necessary to forget about problems and worries for a while and focus on parting with the departed. An essential part of the funeral ceremony is the choice of flower arrangements that will help express feelings and respect for the deceased. In Ukraine, certain flowers are traditionally used to carry a special symbolism. At the same time, the order and delivery of flowers should be as convenient and professional as possible. In this article, we will tell you how to choose natural flowers for a funeral in compliance with traditions to make a farewell to a loved one as meaningful and beautiful as possible.

Ritual flowers in Ukraine - a traditional living wreath on the grave

Flowers have a special meaning in the farewell ritual and symbolize respect, love, and reverence. Consider the most popular options:

1. Roses - more often than other types, are used to present to the deceased. White petals symbolize innocence and kindness, and red - love and respect. Roses can be used in bouquets, wreaths, garlands, and floor arrangements.
   
2. Lilies personify purity, tenderness, and serenity. White buds are often included in wreaths and bouquets for funerals in Ukraine. Lilies are generally used to create cascading compositions, which are convenient to lay on a horizontal surface.
3. Chrysanthemums are often used as traditional farewell flowers to symbolize mourning, sadness, and respect. They can be white, red, pink, or yellow. From chrysanthemums, small bouquets and large compositions are collected and conveniently placed in a room where they say goodbye to the deceased.
4. Gladiolus is a symbol of honor, dignity, and respect. White is used to decorate the place of farewell and in ritual wreaths.
5. Alstroemerias symbolize devotion and fidelity, making them appropriate for parting. They are also associated with memory and longevity, which may be necessary for relatives and friends of the deceased.

Many Ukrainians want to buy ritual wreaths with a deep symbolic meaning that helps to express respect and love. However, choosing the right farewell bouquet and presenting it correctly is vital. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with several rules that, with your direct presence at the funeral, will help you observe the traditions of the funeral ritual in Ukraine.

Where to put the funeral bouquet

Giving funeral compositions to family members or acquaintances is not customary because the flowers are intended for the person being escorted on their last journey. If the bouquet is small, it is appropriate to lay it at the feet of the deceased, but make sure that they do not overlap the flowers that other people put there. Larger compositions are placed along the walls in the room where the deceased is located, and when the coffin is moved, they are carried in their hands. This does not apply to small bouquets - it is not customary to take them out, even if the coffin is transferred.

During cremation, flowers should remain at the feet of the deceased, but when the coffin is placed in the grave, the flowers are taken out and then placed on top of the hill.

Bringing fresh flowers to the grave on major religious holidays and even on ordinary days when family or friends visit the deceased is customary. In this case, bringing a vase to the cemetery and digging it into the ground is convenient so the bouquet stands for as long as possible.
