Funeral flowers from Bibbs Flowers and Gifts-Our designs
The beautiful floral displays at a funeral represent a variety of emotions, but most often symbolize love, sympathy and respect. Choosing the flowers for a funeral you’re planning, or sending flowers to a funeral, is an art that, once mastered, can convey those feelings eloquently.
Funeral Flowers Possibilities
Flowers are used in several different ways to honor the person who has died. They might be displayed at the funeral home during a visitation, and then moved to the church for a formal funeral. They might decorate a grave or drape a casket. They are also sometimes delivered directly to the family.
No matter what the purpose, those arrangements are a visual tribute to the relationship you had with the deceased. Here are some ways that connection can be conveyed:
• “Family” sprays, casket drapes or baskets for a “Husband” or “Daughter”, for example
• Cut flower arrangements
• Potted plants
• Dried flower arrangements
• Floral wreaths
• Baskets of flowers and greenery
The type of flowers you choose might be determined by cost, availability, or personal preference. The person being honored may have even left instructions about the type of floral tribute they prefer. Work with a local floral designer to choose funeral flowers, or ask the funeral director about florists in the area.
Varieties of Funeral Flowers
In the past, cut flower arrangements for funerals were usually limited to mums, carnations, lilies or roses. It was common to see tall gladiolus arranged in sprays flanking the casket. In rural areas, funeral baskets might have been made up of wildflowers or flowers from someone’s garden.
Today’s funeral flowers are created from an almost endless variety of flowers from around the globe. Dramatic bird-of-paradise, bright tulips and sweet daisies might be seen in containers ranging from tall floor vases to grapevine wreaths. The beauty of nature lends itself to memorials and funeral services, and can be an appropriate tribute to a loved one. Do keep in mind that being memorable and being showy aren’t the same thing, and choose funeral flowers that don’t overpower the rest of the service.
Consider what the one who is gone would have enjoyed in life. Think about the setting for their final service. What types of flowers or plants might bring comfort to the grieving family? By using these criteria, it’s possible to choose a memorable floral tribute.
Ordering funeral flowers needn’t be an agonizing decision. Decide how much you’d like to spend, what flowers the departed might have enjoyed and what you’d like your floral gift to represent. With those decisions made, you can confidently order funeral flowers that are an appropriate tribute to someone special.

I ordered flowers for my mom’s birthday and since I live in Florida and my mom is Georgia I always just take a random stab at google and hope I pick a good florist. This time around I got it right…I loved the arrangement Bibbs sent and my mom could not have been happier. I loved that they took the time to take pictures of the arrangment and then send them to me to know where my money was going. Thanks Bibbs for making my mom feel so special with your beautiful arrangement and making me so happy with the pictures you sent. It was a very nice added touch.
People deserve very good life when they do flowers as nice as you do!
Hi Bibbs,
The “Full of Glory” floral arrangement you did for my parent’s 30th Wedding Anniversary was absolutely stunning! They were so happy with it, and everyone at church was commenting on how beautiful the arrangement was! I’m so glad I came across your website and found you! Thank you for your wonderful service and exquisite flowers!

Thank you for the picutres. This is a pleasant surprise. I saw the flowers at the funeral home as well and they were absolutely beautiful. When ordering flowers long distance and especially for occasions like this, I always worry that I will be taken advantage of; however, that was simply not the case with you guys.
Thank you again for the attention to detail and then following through with sending me the pictures.

I put your piece in the front of my site. The detail was my pleasure & our conversation together was a hit. When I got off the phone with you, I was more excited to start the piece.

Thank you sooo much! The flowers were beautiful – I looked for some little garden dish and never found them so then my friend said “did you see your beautiful flowers” and took me to them and we were both extremely happy. I have pulled off your business card and plan to use you again in the future. I will highly recommend you to my friends and family in the Gainesville, Dahlonega, and Dawsonville area.
You are very sweet, thanks so much for the kind words. Looking forward to hearing from you again.

Thank you to Bibbs Flowers and Gifts for the birthday flowers I sent to my wife. Her birthday coincided with a business trip. To get out of the “dog house”, I decided to send flowers. She was very happy and surprised. Excellent value, delivered at the right time. Thank you again.
