Flowers for the Dead
Since flowers symbolize new life, it may seem inappropriate to have them at funerals. Yet people in many cultures top coffins or caskets with wreaths and garlands and put blossoms on the graves of the【36】. This custom is part of a widespread, long-lived pattern. Edwin Daniel Wolff speculated that floral tributes to the dead are an outgrowth of the grave goods of ancient【37】. In cultures that firmly believed in an【38】, and that believed further that the departed could enter that afterlife only【39】they took with them indications of their worldly status, it was a necessity to bury the dead with material goods: hence the wives and animals that were killed to accompany【40】rulers, the riches【41】with Egyptian pharaohs, and the coins that Europeans used to place on the departed person’s eyes as payment for the Stygian ferryman. In time, as economy modified tradition, the actual【42】goods were replaced【43】symbolic representations. In China, for example, gold and silver paper became a stand-in【44】real money. Eventually even the symbolic significance became obscured. Thus, Wolff said, flowers may be the【45】step in "three well-marked stages of offerings to the dead: the actual object, its substitute in various forms, and finally mere tributes of respect."
