funeral wreaths
Circular mourning flowers
Funeral wreaths are circular arrangements of flowers, leaves, or branches placed at memorial services or on graves.
The circular shape traditionally symbolizes eternity—life continuing without end.
They range from simple greenery to elaborate floral displays: The funeral wreaths lined the chapel entrance.
Wreaths may also be sent to the bereaved family's home as expressions of sympathy.
