Symbolism of flowers for compositions for the cemetery
Flowers can be selected according to symbolism, color or species. For example, irises symbolize mourning, resurrection and sadness, lilies symbolize spirituality and eternal life, and chrysanthemums symbolize truth and sincerity. Purple is always a symbol of mourning and sorrow, blue is resurrection, and white is innocence. If we choose carnations, we can be sure that they will last a long time in a flower arrangement in the cemetery. On the other hand, a rose is an irreplaceable classic, for a cemetery - flower arrangements made of red, white or yellow roses are most often chosen.Durability of compositions made of live flowers

Often, such compositions are not natural, they do not harmonize with the surrounding greenery in the cemetery. Therefore, let's not overdo it with the use of artificial flowers to decorate tombstones. Better that they are only a colorful addition to permanent elements made of natural plants, e.g. green tunics.

Flower arrangements for All Saints
November 1, or All Saints' Day, is obligatorily celebrated by almost all Poles. It is during this period that we try to make the flower arrangements in the cemetery exceptionally impressive. Every year, theflower arrangements at All Saintsare led by chrysanthemums. We can buy them cut or in a pot. Large inflorescences of chrysanthemums make the compositions made of them look exceptionally beautiful and magnificent.
Roses are also often chosen for flower arrangements at All Saints, the so-called classics of the genre. A bunch of maroon roses on the tombstone will look very elegant.
Important! When planning a flower arrangement for All Saints, we should observe the weather forecast. If it is raining or snowing and frost comes, it is better to choose artificial flowers. Live flowers will lose their charm very quickly under the influence of rain, snow and frost.That is why we should choose compositions of live flowers when the weather is to be sunny and the temperature is mild.
