A personal and meaningful choice
Floral tributes are a beautiful way to express love and remembrance. We can guide you through every decision and connect you with trusted local florists.
Choosing floral arrangements for the funeral is very much a personal choice and can depend on many different factors — for instance, some bereaved families may be small in numbers, while others may have lots of children and grandchildren to be considered when organising flowers.
During the funeral service it is not possible to display all floral tributes inside the service venue. Because of limited space on the coffin, many families order one double-ended floral spray and place a handwritten flower card from each member of the immediate family on this tribute.
In addition, you can order posy handle sprays which can be attached to the coffin, and pedestal sprays which can be displayed on our pedestals during the service. Please note: letter tributes (e.g. "Mum" or "Dad") are not suitable for the top of the coffin and are designed to be displayed at the side.
We would be grateful if you can advise us in good time before the funeral which tributes are to go onto the coffin, and any other arrangements you require on display during the service. All other tributes will be placed on display for you to view after the service.
When planning floral arrangements, there are a number of practical decisions to think through. We're here to guide you at every step.
Which members of the immediate family want flowers, and whose tributes will go onto the coffin (limited space)
Whether all immediate family members would like to share one double-ended spray for the coffin
Whether you would like matching posy handle sprays attached to the coffin
Whether you would like pedestal sprays to be displayed during the service
Which flowers and colours you require — we can help you choose something that reflects your loved one's personality
The style of floral tribute — traditional, contemporary, or something entirely personal
The message to be written on the floral card, to accompany the tribute during the service
Please advise the funeral director in advance which tributes are for the coffin and which should go on display during the service
After the funeral service, flowers can be taken home or donated to a place that would appreciate them — such as a residential or nursing home. Alternatively, at additional cost, we can arrange for suitable funeral tributes to be rearranged into baskets and delivered the following day. We are happy to discuss whatever feels right for you and your family.
We work closely with a number of local florists who understand the sensitivity of funeral flowers and will help you create a tribute that truly reflects your loved one.
