An emblematic Christian cross rendered in flowers, photographed against a clear white backdrop so its textures and tones are sharply readable. The main surface is formed from countless small, white chrysanthemum blooms, packed tightly to produce a plush, cloud-like texture that reads as serenity and purity. The whole perimeter is edged with a ruffled purple satin ribbon-its sheen ranging from soft lilac to deep eggplant-providing a striking but tasteful contrast that outlines the silhouette with formal grace. Along the vertical spine, the affectionate inscription MUM has been created in bold purple blooms, likely lisianthus or fine spray chrysanthemums, each letter composed of compact flowerheads to ensure clarity and a personal touch. At the cross's centre a generous spray becomes the visual heart: deep violet roses, their petals still tight, sit with paler lavender lisianthus or eustoma whose ruffled mouths offer softness; interspersed variegated greens-pittosporum-like leaves with lighter margins-and tiny green berries add texture and a natural, garden-like note. The arrangement's cool, layered purples combined with pristine white suggest dignity and comfort, suitable for a funeral chapel or memorial service. There is a subdued, powdery scent and a composed symmetry to the piece that conveys both consolation and reverence. I often prepare similar tributes for families from the Finsbury and Clerkenwell areas, ready to be placed at services in local churches or in the quiet spaces of Bunhill Fields, where a carefully made floral cross can speak when words fall short.

A tender, cross-shaped funeral tribute set against a plain white background, crafted from a dense cloud of small white chrysanthemum heads that form a soft, pillowy surface and convey a sense of purity and calm. The cross's outer edge is traced with a ruffled purple satin ribbon whose pleated sheen gives the piece a formal, dignified outline; the ribbon's lilac to deep violet tones echo the central florals and add a subtle, mournful flourish. Down the vertical arm, the affectionate word MUM is spelled in clearly defined purple flower heads-likely lisianthus or small spray chrysanthemums-each letter standing out with deliberate spacing so the tribute reads like a personal message of remembrance. At the crossing of the arms a lush, compact spray becomes the focal heart: tightly furled deep violet roses mingle with softer lavender lisianthus or eustoma, their layered petals creating velvet-like depth, while variegated greenery-pale-edged pittosporum or similar foliage-introduces a fresh, textural contrast and a few small green berries offer gentle punctuation. The arrangement's cool palette of pristine white and layered purples suggests both reverence and tender affection, and there is a faint, powdery scent as if a spring garden had been folded into the design. As a florist familiar with Finsbury and nearby Bunhill Fields, I picture this delivered with quiet care to a chapel on Finsbury Square or laid at a graveside service near St. Luke's, offering comfort through craftsmanship and a composition that reads as both an emblem of faith and a personal farewell.

    I ordered flowers for a funeral, and they were delivered the next day, just before the service. The people at the florals were very helpful in fulfilling my special requests. My family told me two weeks later how beautiful they still looked. I would use Funeral Flowers again whenever I need to send flowers or a plant.

    It was a sad moment arranging our mum's funeral. Even coming up with ideas for the wreaths and funeral posies was a problem. In the end, we just picked what we saw on this website. Everything turned out well.
