Funeral Flowers for Celia, Albumen Cabinet Card, Circa 1885

The wheat sheaf is a death symbol we don't see anymore. It referred to this Bible passage--Job 5:26: "You shall come to your grave in ripe old age, like a sheaf gathered up in its season." Because of the sheaf in this image of the funeral floral arrangements, one can assume that Celia died in old age, having lived a full life.
