Remember Lost Loved Ones on Memorial Day with a Floral Arrangement from Carithers Flowers
Memorial Day unofficially marks the start of summer, and in the midst of the cookouts, pool parties, and friendly softball games, many of us will be paying respects to our nation’s war dead, as well as family members who have passed on. Many families take this opportunity to place flowers on the graves of their loved ones.
History of Memorial Day
General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, officially proclaimed
After World War I, the holiday changed to honor Americans who died fighting in any war. In 1971, Congress designated the last Monday in May as a federal holiday. Today, the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day have been adapted to include remembering and honoring any and all deceased, not just those who have died in service to their country.
Flowers as Tradition
Decorating gravesites with plants, wreaths, and floral arrangements on Memorial Day is a tradition that many families observe. A variety of flowers can characterize the meaning of Memorial Day. White carnations and Forget-me-nots symbolize remembrance; Begonias represent deep thought while Nasturtiums symbolize patriotism.
Carithers Flowers of Atlanta offers many floral arrangements, sprays, and wreaths to adorn your loved one’s eternal resting place. The award-winning staff at Carithers Flowers can also customize a special arrangement in remembrance of your lost loved ones.
This Memorial Day, in addition to honoring family members and friends, take the time to pay your respects to our nation’s fallen heroes by placing a special floral arrangement or wreath on the gravesites of these brave men and women. To find a veterans cemetery near you, visit the Department of Veterans Affairs website at http://www.cem.va.gov/.
