Reference is made to the request for information on the origin of using flowers in funerals as submitted by Dr Ethelwald Emilius Vella (TMID, 25 March), I recommend the good doctor to look up www.google.com on the internet.

I just did and found some 72,000 entries and I am not sure if the Editor of TMID will allow me enough space to post them all.
