Remembrance flowers to honour loved ones

When you lose a loved one, it can have quite an impact on your entire life. Every birthday, Christmas and other special occasion can be a painful experience. However, you can take these opportunities to remember your loved one and honour them with remembrance flowers. Not sure what to buy? Here are some great choices.

Roses

Roses are lovely remembrance flowers and they are available in various colours. You can choose a colour that you know your loved one preferred or you could choose a colour that represents your relationship.

Chrysanthemums

Mums are perfect for remembering your lost loved one. You can choose white chrysanthemums or you could opt for something more colourful. Colourful blooms are a kind of celebration of their life and they can help cheer you up during these difficult times.

Lilies

The lily is often thought of as a sympathy or funeral flower. They are also available in various colours but white lilies are a symbol of purity and innocence. This is why they also make lovely remembrance flowers. Set a vase of lilies beside their picture and enjoy the sense of calm that they bring.

Their favourites

Another great way of honouring your loved one with remembrance flowers is by choosing their favourite blooms or even their favourite colour. So, for example, if they loved pink roses, a bouquet of these flowers will be the perfect tribute.

Potted plants

Some families like something that will last longer. So, you could opt for a potted plant or even plant a tree in your garden. No matter which of these options you choose, you should make sure that you are able to cater to the needs of the plant.

The right remembrance flowers or plant are just what you need to honour their memory every year and for years to come. It will make the process of grieving a little bit easier as you take a moment to set aside some time just for them and allowing yourself to really experience all those emotions.
