Sympathy Flowers For Tori SpellingCopyright © 2006-2008 Wesley Berry, AAFWhen actress Tori Spelling's famous father, Aaron Spelling (creator of such shows as Beverly Hills 90210, Charlie's Angels, and Dynasty), passed away, Tori Spelling undoubtedly received an outpouring of support from her friends and fans. Such support probably came frequently in the form of flowers, which may have gotten many people thinking about the tradition of sending flowers to the family of the deceased, and what kinds of plants and arrangements are appropriate. Throughout history flowers have been used in ceremonies commemorating those who have died. They've adorned the caskets and graves of royalty and peasants alike. But, despite the fact that humans have been expressing their sympathy with flowers for thousands of years, many people are still confused about what they should send. This confusion is further complicated by the fact that trends in America surrounding funerals and memorial services are continually changing. Services have gotten much shorter and simpler over the years, and often there is no viewing period, or if there is, it lasts only one day. Regardless of how the family chooses to commemorate the death of their loved one, a gift of flowers or a plant to show your support is always appropriate-even if there's no service at all. Traditional sympathy arrangements include: You may also wish to place flowers on the grave of the deceased. But, before you purchase flowers, be sure you're aware of the cemetery's policies surrounding items placed on the grave. Many people want to choose a permanent display made of artificial flowers, especially when the weather is hot and fresh flowers won't last long. However, some cemeteries, such as Chattanooga National Cemetery in Tennessee ban artificial flowers during certain months of the year, or throughout the year, citing the extra time it takes for groundskeepers to go around and collect the artificial arrangements. If you're not sure of the rules for the cemetery and don't know who to call, try calling florists located in the area who have likely created hundreds of sympathy arrangements and will be familiar with the rules. When it comes to sympathy flowers, the basic rule is just to choose something that shows you're thinking of and supporting the family in their time of need. All people could use comfort when they're grieving. Tori Spelling is sure to have appreciated each and every show of sympathy and support she received after her father's death, and so will the people in your life. About The Author:
