Funeral arrangements 17th/18th century
This comes from a text written about a funeral service held for a nobleman in 1699, and written after the event.
Hier stellte selbige also an, daß Tags vorher die ***Flöhr*** herüm schickte. Sonntags frühe erschienen alle so ***Flöhr*** bekommen, mit Leidkleidern und Mänteln in der Kirchen.
The only thing I can think it might mean is "flowers", but I can find no reference to it anywhere and I am not sure it is appropriate here.
This is not the type of text I normally would take on, but it is part of a large number of texts for a local exhibition, and this one is challenging! Any help would be much appreciated.
