It is not unusual to see wreaths and flower arrangements at someone’s cremation or funeral. But when a royal dies there are usually huge wreaths that are often placed where everybody can see them. When Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg died last month, there were quite a few flowers outside the palace and the cathedral. It is always interesting to see who sent flowers and identify the initials on the ribbons, when there are any. There were however also a few floral arrangements by organisations.
