Eternal remembrance: Which funeral flowers are suitable for commemorating All Saints' Day or a Death Anniversary?

The commemoration days of All Saints' Day, All Souls' Day and Sunday of the Dead have a special place in the Christian faith. The commemoration of the dead falls in the dark season when the leaves are falling. Graves can be decorated with memorial flowers using grave lights with motifs or in classic red, grave decorations such as angels and, of course, flowers. In late autumn, arrangements made of dried flowers are used in funeral floristry.

Dried and exotic flowers for mourning arrangements

Exotics and proteas in particular are ideal as permanent mourning flowers for the grave thanks to their original shapes and long durability. Cones also go well with the funeral arrangement. These natural items are ideal for funeral flowers because, unlike fresh flowers, these arrangements do not freeze to death or wither prematurely, even on cold days. A colourfully composed grave arrangement is recommended as the basis for your own mourning decoration or as a ready-made grave decoration.

Personal mourning texts and mourning ribbons

However, mourning for a loved one is always something very personal. A final greeting in the form of grave decorations and commemorative ribbons should come from your heart, be individual and express personal attachment to the deceased.
