Flowers for a Veteran Funeral
Funeral flowers can honor a veteran’s military service while expressing sympathy to the family. Patriotic colors, traditional funeral designs, and personalized details can create a respectful tribute to someone who served.
DiBella Flowers & Gifts designs veteran funeral flowers for delivery to approved funeral homes, churches, chapels, cemeteries, memorial venues, and residences throughout Las Vegas, Summerlin, Henderson, and nearby communities.
Choosing Veteran Funeral Flowers
Red, white, and blue flowers are a traditional choice for a veteran’s funeral or memorial service. Appropriate designs may include:
- Patriotic standing sprays
- Red, white, and blue wreaths
- Traditional funeral baskets
- Easel arrangements
- Casket sprays
- Cremation memorial flowers
- Sympathy vase arrangements
- Green plants and basket gardens
A patriotic arrangement may include red roses or carnations, white lilies or chrysanthemums, blue delphinium or similar seasonal flowers, and natural greenery. Exact flowers depend on availability.
Veteran funeral flowers do not have to be patriotic. The person’s favorite flowers, favorite colors, cultural traditions, and religious beliefs may provide a more personal direction.
Military Branch and Service Details
An arrangement may recognize service in the:
- United States Army
- United States Marine Corps
- United States Navy
- United States Air Force
- United States Space Force
- United States Coast Guard
Provide the correct military branch when ordering. Branch colors or a tasteful ribbon may be incorporated when appropriate and available.
Military insignia, medals, decorations, uniforms, and official symbols should be treated respectfully. Do not attach personal objects or official military items to an arrangement without the family’s permission.
Flowers and the Burial Flag
An eligible veteran may receive a United States burial flag to drape the casket or accompany the urn. Flowers should not cover, damage, or interfere with the flag.
Casket flowers and flag placement must be coordinated with the immediate family and funeral director. Friends, coworkers, military organizations, and extended relatives should generally choose a standing spray, wreath, or funeral basket unless the family requests another design.
Veteran Cremation Memorial Flowers
Flowers may be arranged around an urn, folded flag, portrait, medals, or other approved memorial items. A low red, white, and blue design can frame the display without hiding its important elements.
Provide the florist with the approximate display size and explain which items will be included. The family or funeral director should approve the final placement.
Flowers for a National or Veterans Cemetery
Cemeteries have rules concerning flower containers, arrangement sizes, decorations, and removal schedules. Confirm the individual cemetery’s current policy before sending or placing flowers.
Fresh flowers and service-day sprays may be permitted, but placement must follow cemetery instructions. Do not send glass vases, permanent containers, balloons, loose decorations, or personal items without approval.
What to Write on the Card
A veteran funeral flower message can recognize both the person and their service.
Appropriate messages include:
- With deepest sympathy and gratitude for [Name] ’s service.
- Honoring a life of service, courage, and dedication.
- Our nation is grateful for [Name] ’s service.
- In loving memory of a devoted veteran.
- With respect and heartfelt condolences.
- Thank you for your service. You will not be forgotten.
- Sending comfort to your family during this difficult time.
- With sympathy from everyone at [Company Name] .
Keep the message sincere and avoid mentioning combat experiences, military awards, or service details unless you know they are accurate.
