Flowers are an expression of mourning, memory and tribute to the deceased. The most frequently chosen are bouquets consisting of chrysanthemums, lilies, callas, roses, hydrangeas and carnations. The color of the flowers is also important. Purple symbolizes mourning, blue symbolizes longing, yellow symbolizes grief and sadness, and white symbolizes innocence. On this basis, florists create beautiful compositions, decorated with a hand-lettered sash.
Funeral. How long before you can clean up the flowers?
In our culture, bouquets should remain on the grave for 4-6 weeks from the day of the funeral. It was believed that in this way the deceased was given time to say his final goodbye to the world. According to beliefs, the soul takes 42 days to leave. Nowadays, not everyone sticks to this method, because after a few days the flowers start to wither and smell bad. Heavy rains, snow and heat do not help maintain their good condition. For this reason, the family decides to clean the grave after a week or gradually throw away the flowers and leave only those that still look and smell good on the monument.
Funeral bouquets. What must you not do?
Candles, decorations and bouquets should be thrown into special containers located at the cemetery. Another superstition says that funeral bouquets cannot be taken home. They belong to the deceased, and taking them with you can bring bad luck. We should also not take the sashes and keep them as souvenirs, but throw them away with the flowers. If someone brings it to your house on the day of the funeral, you should give it to the deceased person and put it on the grave. This way you will protect yourself from misfortune.
