Did you know that nowadays flowers are used at funerals as a visual expression of our sympathy, grief, love and respect to the deceased, but this was not always the case. In early times, fragrant funeral flowers were placed on and around the casket of the deceased to perfume the area and ward off the smell of the body. Luckily, we found a better way to manage the odor, but the flower trend stayed. Need Flowers? 734-671-5400
