Sympathy Expresses Sweet Sentinment
Sympathy flowers hold everything beautiful and sweet and trasncendent about life.Flowers, born to brilliance, in order to fulfill their life-purpose, flowers uplift in the realization that even in short destiny one can see purpose.Flowers are always perfectly correct as an expression of sympathy.
To write this sympathy-flowers page, it seemed prudent to look at the historical nuance of the tradition and the range from simplistic to extravagance in the sympathy flowers of funerals.
Funerals are the last time we can indulge our loved ones to wrap them in the scent of flowers. When my brother died at Valentine's I sent buckets of rose petals to the crematorium so that he would be wafted to heaven on the scent of roses. We all do what we can to sweeten the pain, to do our very best.
