Funeral Flowers Guide

Funeral Sprays - These are the most popular tributes to be sent to funerals and are often placed on the actual casket, so are also known as casket sprays. These are double or single ended arrangements ranging in sizes up to the coverage of the entire casket top. Double ended means an oval arrangement that is seen evenly from all angles. Single ended means that they are more like traditional bouquet shapes with a definate top and bottom view. Many people send the smaller versions of the double and single ended sprays whereas the large double ended spray is usually from very close family. Very large single ended sprays that are tied with twines and ribbons are very popular with woodland and green funerals.

Posies and Posy Pads - these are round arrangements ranging in size from quite small to fairly large and allow the flowers to viewed evenly from all angles. These are often given by children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and small children, but can also be given by friends and relatives. These arrangements may additionally be sent as a sympathy tribute to the bereaved after the funeral, they are also sometimes given away after the funeral to hospitals.

Baskets - Baskets come in a very versatile variety of traditional and contemporary designs. These can be used as a tribute to be sent to the funeral directors or as a sympathy gift sent to the bereaved after the funeral. Usually sent by friends and colleagues, sometimes by children too.

We can make bespoke shapes, the most common being Crosses, Hearts, Wreaths and Teardrops, all of which can be made to suit the ethos of a natural funeral. Please feel free to ask if you have any other shape requests and we will try to accomodate where possible.
