Watanabe Floral, Inc. has assisted clients in honoring lost loved ones since 1945. The experienced, knowledgeable staff pride themselves on helping guests celebrate those who have passed in an elegant, sophisticated manner, with sympathy flowers available in a range of colors and “styles.” Services include standing and wreath sprays, podium pieces, leis, banners, urn and tribute pieces, casket sprays, and more. 

Let’s review some of the flower company’s best tips for floral tributes in Hawaii:

• Tropical Flowers: Blooms such as Bird of Paradise, Ginger, and Anthuriums are examples of tropical flowers typically found at Hawaiian funerals. Use them in any floral arrangement, such as a casket spray or podium piece, either by themselves or with other flowers.
• Christian Faith Options: Lilies, carnations, roses, and gladiolas are popular Christian faith sympathy flowers. Utilize such blooms at the wake, service, and burial.
• Leis: A popular modern Hawaiian funeral flower option, Maile leis are frequently used to decorate urns and photos, as well as caskets. Look at Maile and other lei possibilities, such as Pikake, Tuberose, and Haku.
• Asian Culture Options: Football, Spider, and Pompon chrysanthemums are favored as sympathy flowers in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cultures. Neutral hues such as white and yellow are best, but keep in mind roses and other thorny flowers are not appropriate for Buddhist services.
• Orchids: Orchids are another sympathy flower often used in conjunction with Anthuriums, Chrysanthemums, and carnations. Toss orchid heads into the ocean as part of a scattering ceremony.
