Floristry
For centuries flowers have been used for expressing emotions including sympathy and grief. This tradition remains as true today as it ever has been, and most funeral services feature beautiful floral tributes and personal dedications from family and friends.
Common types of flower arrangements
Primary arrangements are typically placed upon the coffin and are usually single- or double-ended coffin sprays or floral crosses, all of which can be made up of any number of different flowers. A small posy of flowers is a more simple alternative often sent by children.
Posies
Casket sprays
Crosses
Tear drop splashes
Floral baskets, cushions, hearts and pillows are other creative and structured ways in which flowers can be used to create a tasteful tribute.
You can also choose from traditional wreaths, hand-tied sheaves, (which are particularly useful if you anticipate them being used after the funeral) casket sprays and chaplets.
Pedestal arrangements designed to sit on a stand and those spelling out names or words such as MUM can complement those on top of the coffin.
The choice of floral tributes is extensive so please take your time in choosing the one that's just right.
You may also wish to have a specialist memorial tribute, and we can advise on the appropriate size and form that this can take.
Prices typically depend upon the size of the chosen arrangement, the types of flower requested and the amount of blooms relative to the greenery filler.
As an alternative to flowers, you may prefer for family and friends to make a donation to a charity, local community group or hospice.
Please get in touch with us at any time to discuss your requirements or for information and advice.
