Elegantly shaped into a substantial Christian cross and set against a white backdrop, this sympathy piece balances craftsmanship and simple devotion. The principal surface is composed of countless white chrysanthemum heads, arranged so their soft, rounded petals form a plush, seamless field conveying serenity and restraint. A ruffled border of rich purple satin ribbon traces the cross's outer edge, adding a ceremonial line of colour that both defines and dignifies the silhouette. Along the upright shaft the name "MUM" has been carefully composed from smaller purple blooms-likely eustoma or compact spray chrysanthemums-each letter modelled with floral precision to be readable and heartfelt amid the white. At the centre, a generous cluster draws the eye: deep violet roses with tightly furled petals, paler lavender lisianthus or eustoma with ruffled margins, and subtle sprigs of variegated foliage such as pittosporum or similar leaves with pale edges and darker centres. Small green berries or buds are tucked within the spray to provide texture and quiet contrast. The overall colour story-pure white offset by shades of purple from pale lavender to rich violet-evokes a mood of dignity, mourning and peaceful reflection. The arrangement feels at home for services across Thornton Heath, from local funeral directors near Brigstock Road to family gatherings by the pond, and its precise construction speaks of florist skill, care for detail, and a compassionate message of remembrance.

A deeply reverent funeral tribute shaped as a substantial Christian cross, photographed against a clean white background so every texture and hue reads clearly. The whole cross is formed from a dense carpet of pristine white chrysanthemum heads, each petal layered to create a soft, pillowy surface that reads of purity and calm. Around the perimeter a ruffled purple satin ribbon has been pleated and gently tucked, its sheen catching the light to frame the white with a solemn, elegant flourish. Down the upright arm the word "MUM" is spelled in distinct, small purple blooms-tight eustoma or tiny spray chrysanthemums-so the dedication reads plainly and tenderly against the white backdrop. At the centre where the arms meet, a lush, garden-like spray anchors the design: deep violet roses with velvety petals, mid-lilac lisianthus or eustoma with ruffled edges, and pale lavender blooms that lift the palette into softer tones. Variegated foliage-leaves edged a lighter green with darker centres-adds fine texture and natural contrast, while tiny green berries or buds punctuate the cluster with quiet detail. The arrangement gives off a faint, powdery floral scent, like a tucked bouquet in a quiet chapel, and the visual balance evokes dignity, consolation and enduring love. As a local piece crafted for Thornton Heath families, it sits naturally beside the community's quiet moments of remembrance near Thornton Heath Pond and Brigstock Road, offering a composed, heartfelt expression of sorrow and respect suitable for a funeral service, wake, or graveside 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.
