    Beautiful Family Funeral Arrangment Memorials. Not sure of the value? Are they rare? Does the wheat bundle mean anything? Any information would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks for looking!

      Actually these memorial arrangements are fairly common and due to condition issues your two probably would bring less than $5 as a pair.

      There are collectors out there, but this particular style is not in high demand.

      Memorials with cross collectability will bring the most-- A Civil War veteran with GAR badge in flowers, a Mason with Masonic symbolism, etc.... Even those will usually bring less than $25.

      I don't know the symbolism of the wheat-- an online search of "wheat symbolism" will surely give you some possibilities.
