The Calla lily is not a  true lily.  The botanist who first named it made a mistake but the name stuck and is still used.  It is most often associated with faith, piety and holiness. The calla lily is usually white but it can come in a variety of colors. It is often used at funerals as a symbol of sympathy and purification of a departed soul. It may be used in other occasions like weddings and anniversaries.

Allow me to be unpredictable. Let me weep. My faith tells me that he is in heaven. (betsisanders 2014)
