Occasions and Sympathy Flowers in Alfter

In Germany, Valentine's Day (Valentinstag) takes place on 14 February, with red roses and mixed bouquets associated with the occasion. The date for Mother's Day (Muttertag) is the second Sunday of May, with flowers among the gifts associated with the occasion. Christmas (Weihnachten) falls on 24 and 25 December, with table arrangements, amaryllis and poinsettias associated with the occasion. The calendar marks Sunday of the Dead (Totensonntag) on the last Sunday before Advent, with flowers used to mark remembrance at graves. For German gift-giving, red roses can carry a romantic meaning; when choosing flowers for a friend, colleague or host, consider the message you want the gift to convey and use the personal card to make the occasion clear.

If the service takes place at Evangelisches Gemeindezentrum Alfter, the tribute usually goes to the church rather than to the family’s home; confirm the time with whoever is arranging it. For a service at Birrekovener Kapelle, ask whether the flowers should be there before the family arrives, and where in the church they are placed. For a service at St. Matthäus, ask which entrance is used for flowers and how early a tribute should be there. As part of German custom, a funeral wreath or arrangement may carry a Schleife, a printed ribbon naming the mourner; if you want a ribbon, specify the requested wording when discussing the tribute, including the names of those sending it. For this kind of gift, chrysanthemums, white lilies and white roses are customary choices for funeral flowers; use the occasion and the family’s preferences to guide the choice of tribute, and check the selected product for the flowers it includes. For someone choosing flowers, a Grabgesteck may be placed on a grave for Totensonntag and, in Catholic states, for Allerheiligen; for a tribute intended for a grave, ask the cemetery about the precise location and its arrangements for accepting flowers.
