Three ways to choose your flowers

However you'd like to remember them, there's a way to choose that suits you:

  • Ready-made designs: from simple sheaves and posies to coffin sprays, wreaths, hearts and crosses.
  • Personalised tributes: shaped around a hobby, a favourite team, a faith or a word such as Mum or Dad.
  • Florist's Choice: you choose the type and size, and our florist picks the best seasonal flowers. It's a good way to keep costs lower.

If you'd like a design that isn't shown here, talk to our florists. They've made one-off tributes including an E-type Jaguar, a full-size pool table and an arrangement made entirely of vegetables.

Which funeral tribute should I choose?

The right funeral tribute usually depends on how you knew the person who's died and where the flowers will sit on the day.

Coffin spray

Immediate family or the person arranging the funeral. It rests on top of the coffin and is also called a casket spray or double-ended spray.

Teardrop spray

Wider family, friends and colleagues. It's also called a single-ended spray.

Sheaf, posy or basket

Anyone who'd like to send a smaller tribute.

Wreath, heart or cushion

Family and close friends. Hearts express love, and cushions and pillows represent a comfortable place to rest.

Letters and names

Family, to spell out a name or a word such as Mum, Dad or Nan.

Cross or faith tribute

Families for whom faith is an important part of the funeral.

Customs vary between faiths and cultures, and some families ask for donations to a charity instead of flowers. If you're not sure, the person arranging the funeral can let you know.

What to write on a funeral flower card

A short, sincere message on a funeral flower card is enough, such as "Thinking of you all" or "With love, always".

If you knew the person who's died but not their family, say how you knew them. A line about what they meant to you is often kind to read:

  • "Elizabeth was one of the kindest people we knew, and always went out of her way to help her neighbours."
  • "Your mum was one of my dearest friends. I'll treasure our memories together."
