Types of services vary depending on the request of the deceased or family choices. Below are some of the well-known Funeral types.

Traditional

These services have been in existence for generations and are more of a solemn event. Typically, the service is held in a funeral home, church, crematorium or chapel. It can involve an open or closed casket. Open caskets are most common in the US and allows the attendees to say a final good-bye to the deceased. Often family or friends are asked to address others with a tribute to the life of the person.

Our professional floral designers at Allen’s Flowers will prepare the most stunning flower arrangement to add dignity and beauty to this respectful and solemn ceremony. We know the business and have assembled a team of talented, caring and passionate professionals. We take pride in our work and leave our customers completely delighted with their floral product purchases.

Direct Burial

For personal financial or other reasons, families my elect for a direct burial.  In these situations, the deceased is buried shortly after death and there is not a funeral service or other formal ceremony. Direct burial is a more affordable funeral option. Reasons being there is no embalming of the body and less expensive caskets are used.

Cremation or Direct Cremation

In a Cremation there is most often a viewing as part of the funeral service prior to the actual cremation. Then with Direct Cremation, there is no viewing.

Celebration of Life

Many families are opting for a celebration of life ceremony as an option to a more traditional funeral.  Often these ceremonies take place in alternative locations from the funeral home or church. They are sometimes held in restaurants, parks, pubs, sporting facilities or other venues that were a favorite destination of the deceased. While there is still the element of mourning, these celebrations are more festive and try to focus on the life and times of the departed.

All the positive aspects of the person’s life are celebrated. Things like unique talents, generosity towards others, exciting destinations they traveled to, and other noteworthy accomplishments are themes for the celebration.  The caring and compassionate Twinbrook Floral Design team will help you with that celebration of life. Our festive and tasteful flowers will add so much more happiness to your event. Below are some popular flower types for Funeral and Sympathy purposes.

Forget-Me-Nots – The meaning of this flower is obvious. It symbolizes the deceased loved one continues on in memories.

Roses – Red roses express love and respect. Pink roses are a sign of appreciation and grace.

Lilies – By far the most common funeral flower is the White Lily. These symbolize the spirit of a loved one and it offers hope and encouragement to a grieving family.

Carnations – Carnations are another popular choice. A white carnation represents purity and innocence while pink carnations convey remembrance.

Chrysanthemums – The white chrysanthemum is often used to symbolize grief.

Gladioli – Signifying strength and character in life, the gladioli flower is a wonderful choice

Orchids – This delicate flower references the message “I will always love you”.

Hydrangeas – It is not always necessary to send flowers and sometimes a potted hydrangea plant is a good option.

Daffodils and Tulips – Daffodils and tulips represent renewal which is message of encouragement and hope to a grieving family.
