Red Camellias can mean:

A noble Death

Q posted: Definiton of state funeral.

"The camellia is an early spring flower native to Asia. In Japanese, this flower is known as tsubaki.

They were very popular with nobles during the Edo Period.

Among warriors and samurai, the red camellia symbolized

a noble death.

Otherwise, the red camellia means love.

However, they

don’t make good presents for people who are sick

or injured because of the way the flowers

“behead” themselves

when they die."
