Our impulse when someone loses a loved one or someone close to them, is to spread what comfort we can, and to let them know they are not alone. One traditional way to do this has been to contact local florists and send sympathy flowers to the bereaved, as well as funeral flowers to be placed graveside on the day. What many may not be aware of, however, is that this tradition did not start with florists, or the wide spreading of flower shops, or even with the 19th century proliferation of home gardens; no, this practice likely dates from far, far, before.

Not an Empty Gesture

Some things can’t be fixed, but sometimes just knowing that someone is thinking of you, or sharing in your feelings can help. This is one of the reasons people send sympathy and funeral flowers—perhaps they may bring a fleeting smile to a face but, most importantly, they let someone know that others are there for them. Funeral flowers are similar, in that they are often sent to the funeral home or service, to be placed on the grave site itself—an act of honoring and remembering.
