A substantial and carefully composed floral cross, set against a neutral white studio background to let its details sing: the body is completely covered in compact, snowy-white chrysanthemum blooms that form a plush, even texture like soft linen. A pleated, deep purple satin ribbon traces the outer edge, creating a clear, elegant frame that heightens the contrast between the white centre and the surrounding space. Down the vertical stem, the letters "MUM" appear in defined, stylised purple flower clusters-small lisianthus or spray chrysanthemums-each bloom chosen for colour depth so the tribute reads unmistakably personal. At the intersection of the arms sits a generous central bouquet: intense violet and lavender roses, pale purple lisianthus, and sprigs of variegated greenery whose light-edged leaves and darker centres bring sculptural contrast; tiny green berries are scattered through the cluster to introduce a soft, natural punctuation. Seen from a Florist's point of view, the arrangement balances texture and tone-silky rose petals, ruffled lisianthus, glossy ribbon, and the velvety density of chrysanthemums-resulting in a sober yet richly comforting composition. The scent is faint and clean, leaning floral and powdery rather than headily sweet. This memorial cross would sit with dignity at a Croydon funeral service, perhaps outside a chapel near George Street or placed bier-side for a graveside service in Wandle Park, offering a visual and tactile language of respect, sorrow, and lasting affection for a dearly missed mother.

A tender, cross-shaped funeral tribute composed of densely packed white chrysanthemum heads sits against a plain white background, its soft, pillowy surface evoking quiet purity. Each chrysanthemum floret is placed close together to form a seamless, downy field that reads like a gentle cloud, while a ruffled border of deep purple satin ribbon traces the entire perimeter, framing the piece with dignified contrast. Down the vertical arm the letters "MUM" are carefully formed from smaller, rich purple blooms-likely eustoma or compact spray chrysanthemums-so the message stands out crisply against the white base. At the centre, where the arms meet, a lush cluster provides the emotional focus: deep violet and lavender roses with velvety petals nestle with pale purple lisianthus/eustoma and small accents of variegated green foliage. The leaves show light green margins with darker centres, adding a subtle, natural texture, and tiny green berries peek through to give quiet depth and contrast. The colour story-pristine white with layered purples from soft lavender to near-indigo-reads of reverence, calm, and respect. There is a faint, powdery floral scent, like a cool spring morning after rain, and the overall weight of the arrangement conveys solidity and embrace rather than fragility. Imagined in a Croydon funeral setting, perhaps beside a service at Croydon Minster or laid near the family pew at a chapel in Centrale, this cross functions as both a personalised message of love and a composed symbol of remembrance. Its craftsmanship and balanced proportions offer solace: a floral language that says grief, dignity, and enduring affection when words are not enough.

    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.
