MOURNING WREATHS

Wreaths are not just for the holidays. When hanging on a door during other times of the year, it can often indicate that a family is in mourning after the death of a loved one. Mourning wreaths are considered a sign of public grief, and these unique wreaths have been around for hundreds of years. They are also often placed on the casket at a funeral. Mourning wreaths come in various styles, sizes, and colors; however, white or black are the most popular color options. Many families often find it difficult to talk about their deceased loved ones. Placing a mourning wreath on the front door allows people to know what has happened without the family talking about it. When a loved one dies, grieving family and friends often are confronted with dozens of decisions about the funeral -- all of which must be made quickly and often under great emotional duress.
