Bizarre Burial Bouquets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Strange Floral Tributes

— November 20, 2008 — Social Good
Flower tributes are strange beings. They either make you happier than you have ever been, or make you cry your heart and soul out.

I know these all have a deeply personal meaning, but I pray they bury some of these bad taste floral tributes as well. Some are enough to make you lose the will to love alone. Putting my claws away for a moment, what I do like about these is their originality; you certainly wouldn't miss these at a grave site. The 'Bells' one is either the best or worst thing ever to grace a graveyard.

I wanted to get my best friend one in the shape of a vinyl record, as he would have loved it in an ironic sense. I chickened out in the end, as I feared others would not share our sense of humor.
Trend Themes
1. Unconventional Funeral Tributes - Opportunities for innovative funeral products that offer unique and personal ways to commemorate loved ones.
2. Customized Floral Arrangements - Potential for personalized flower tributes that reflect individual interests, hobbies, or personality traits.
3. Humorous Graveyard Decor - A market for funny and lighthearted funeral tributes that provide a touch of humor during a somber occasion.
Industry Implications
1. Funeral Services - Disruptive innovation opportunities to create unconventional funeral products and services for a more personalized and meaningful experience.
2. Floristry - Potential to offer customizable floral arrangements for funerals that cater to individual preferences and passions, enhancing the funeral experience.
3. Gift and Novelty - Opportunities for producing humorous grave decorations and unique funeral tributes that bring a sense of lightness and joy to a typically solemn event.
