The Meaning Behind Popular Funeral Flowers ​

Choosing the right flowers for a funeral can be a meaningful gesture. Different flowers carry specific symbolism, allowing you to convey the right message during a time of loss. Here's what some of the most popular funeral flowers in Melbourne represent: 

Elegant white flowers arranged in a bouquet, complemented by vibrant green leaves for a natural touch.

Lilies – Peace and Purity 

Lilies are often chosen for their representation of peace and restored innocence. As one of the most popular flowers for funerals in Melbourne, they are commonly seen in casket sprays and wreaths, offering a serene and elegant tribute.

Tip for Buyers: Pair lilies with white roses for a sophisticated, understated arrangement that suits both religious and non-religious services. 

Roses – Love, Respect, and Remembrance

Roses are a timeless choice for funeral flower arrangements. White roses symbolise purity and new beginnings, while red roses express deep love and respect. Many families in Melbourne incorporate roses in wreaths and bouquets. ​

Unique Melbourne Tradition: Some families opt to mix roses with native Australian flowers like eucalyptus or wattle for a local touch. 

Tip for Buyers: Consider single-stem roses as a symbolic gesture for mourners to place on the grave during the service. ​
