Cemetery Monument CO: The Meaning of Lillies

When someone says, “This place smells like a funeral home” chances are there is a lily nearby. This is often considered the go-to funeral flower and there’s significant meaning behind this strongly aromatic blossom. Lilies suggest that the soul of the deceased has returned to a peaceful state of innocence.

Christians think this flower symbolizes purity, virginity, and the radiance of the soul.  It’s believed that the Virgin Mary’s tomb was covered in this flower.
