Blessed memory: mourning floristry
At the moments when family and friends leave this world, you want to see them out of life with dignity, leaving only a bright memory in your hearts. The roots of the tradition of decorating funeral and memorial ceremonies go back to the past, when people believed that this way they would decorate the afterlife of the deceased. Nowadays, mourning flowers are one of the signs through which it is customary to pay the last tribute to the deceased.
What flowers are mourning?
In European and Slavic culture, there are no flowers that are considered purely mourning and are used only in funeral and memorial rituals. However, there is an established tradition of making mournful bouquets from an even number of flowers, as a symbol of the harmony of existence, the eternal confrontation between life and death.

Sprigs of spruce and evergreens are used as a symbol of an eternal afterlife in a better world, and a reminder to the living to move on.

Each flower, which is universal, can also be used in mourning ceremonies, where it acquires its own special meaning.

At funeral celebrations, dark red shades, as well as cold tones, are appropriate. In order to decorate the last path, single flowers are often used, and the deathbed and graves are usually decorated with wreaths and bouquets.
