The lily has traditionally used in coffins and according to experts, the poet Keats used it because, %26quot;it symbolized death.%26quot; %26quot;Tombstone Art and Symbols%26quot; said of the lily, %26quot;The use of lilies at funerals symbolizes the restored innocence of the soul at death.%26quot;
Reply:personally always associated the Lily as a rebirth and triumph over death
Reply:I know what you are talking about and have seen it, but I can not find info on the web about it being used in funerals. The flower is calla or arum lily or Zantedeschia aethiopica. It is not a true lily though. Actually is a spathe with the flowers inside (the yellow inside is actually a ton of tiny flower)

Reply:Lilies are not the death flower. Orchids are. Lilies (I think) are like spring and new beginnings and life. Orchids are definately the death flower.
Reply:the white lily is not necessarily a symbol of death.....but a symbol of purity. Think of it respectfully.

The lily is mentioned in the Bible. Often called the ~white-robed apostles of hope~ lilies were found growing in the Garden of Gethsemane after Christ%26#039;s crucifixtion. White lilies are said to have sprung up where drops of Christ%26#039;s sweat fell to the ground from the cross. Traditionally, Easter Lilies are arranged in churches, during Easter, to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Reply:There were many story tellers that use the lily as their symbols. But it is the orchid that can be considered the flower of death......... Not a water lily..................
