However, peace lilies, carnations, gladioli, and chrysanthemums are some of the common varieties used as condolence flowers. But if the deceased had a favourite flower, it will be thoughtful to send those to the funeral service. These flowers are available in a range of casket sprays, funeral wreaths, and standing sprays at <a href=\"\/\">Ferns N Petals<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Include_a_card_with_the_flowers\"><\/span><b>Include a card with the flowers<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12375 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/funeral-flower-basket-219x300.jpg\" alt=\"funeral-flower-basket\" width=\"400\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/funeral-flower-basket-219x300.jpg 219w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/funeral-flower-basket.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like we already mentioned, it is difficult to find the right words for this moment of grief, but that doesn\u2019t mean you should say nothing at all.
