Traditionally, funeral floral arrangements have been large, sweet smelling tokens whose shapes range between hearts, crosses, and emblems of the bodies that gave them. A good example of this is a Rotarian would send a wreath that was formed as a damaged wheel to the funeral of his fellow Rotarian. This practice then slowly gave way to customised funeral floral arrangements that fit the deceased person’s profession.

The circular funeral floral arrangements that is typically seen in funerals is known as a wreath. A funeral wreath is a ring made of flowers like roses and carnations. It is widely assumed the wreath’s ring shape designates eternal life, a fitting wish for the departed. Another typically seen funeral floral arrangement is the floral stand.
