When words of comfort are hard to find, the language of flowers is a way of expressing grief and feelings. Giving a bouquet is a way of paying your last respects to the deceased. It's also a way of showing your support for the family of the deceased. This heartfelt message is expressed through the choice of flower varieties, but also through the colours.

Calla, chrysanthemum, dahlia, lily, carnation, forget-me-not... These are all typical flowers of mourning, but there are no rules for decorating the coffin at the cemetery, for cremation, etc. However, be sure to take into account the specific characteristics of each plant. However, be sure to take into account the significance of each plant to get the right message across.
