Displaying Flowers At The Funeral Home

There are many things that you generally see at services when they are held at funeral homes in West Boylston, MA. One of the most common sights is flower arrangements in a variety of locations around the service. If you are planning a service for a loved one, or if a family member has put you in charge of the flowers, where should you have them placed? There are a variety of options, all of which can be very nice.

Next To The Casket

It’s pleasant to have some flowers decorating the casket area. You will generally have the casket at the front of the room and you can place flowers around it. Depending on how many arrangements you have, you can place one on each side, some behind it, and you could even lay an arrangement on top of the casket to decorate it further. You can look at the flowers and try to balance things out on each side of the casket to make it look nice.

In The Entry Way

As people arrive, it can be nice for them to be greeted with beauty and you can find that in any of the flower arrangements you receive from family members and friends. Once you decorate the room the way you want it, if there are extra arrangements, perhaps place one or more in the entry way to greet people in a lovely way.

At The Burial Plot

You can take some of the arrangements along with you to the burial portion of the service, or send some in advance to decorate the gravesite so everyone will see those flowers as they arrive at the cemetery. You can place arrangements standing up around the grave, on the casket when it arrives, near the chairs, or around the tented area.

Around The Memorial Table

If you have a memorial table set up for your loved one, either at the funeral or perhaps at the reception, you might place some smaller arrangements beside or on that table. If your loved one had a favorite flower, for example, having an arrangement nearby that showcases that style can help people remember them for that. Flowers are always a lovely addition and they can make people smile as they remember your loved one.
