Flower Meanings

Give a Personalized Tribute With Our Flowers

Incorporate engraved flowers that symbolize the life and legacy of your lost family member or friend. What a flower symbolizes can be different for everyone. The religion and culture of your family can influence the meaning of flowers and other symbols you may see engraved on memorials.

Flowers are known to be beautiful throughout history and the world. A memorial is a very personal tribute – you should have flowers engraved that mean something to you and your family, even if the meaning is only beauty.

Don’t let yourself feel pressured into adding a flower engraving. If you are not sure about incorporating flowers in your memorial design, you can take a look at our photo gallery to help make your decision.
