Funeral
This sympathy card presents a tranquil, nature-inspired illustration that feels as soothing as an early-morning stroll through a quiet corner of Croydon. A loose field of slender, umbelliferous blooms rises from the base of the card, painted in transparent layers of violet, soft blue, and gentle sage. The stems are long and graceful, slightly curved as if moving with a cool, passing breeze, while the flower heads fan out in lacy clusters, their details suggested with fine, almost calligraphic lines. Behind them, a wash of watercolour drifts from pale lavender to misty grey-green, creating the impression of distant, out-of-focus foliage, similar to how trees blur along the edge of Wandle Park when viewed through morning haze. Pale butterflies appear here and there among the blossoms, their wings faintly outlined, like small spirits of the meadow caught mid-flight. Light seems to filter evenly across the scene, giving everything a soft, diffused glow that invites quiet reflection rather than drawing sharp attention. The colours are cool yet comforting, never stark, as if chosen by someone who understands the language of gentle support. This design feels like it was created by a florist who knows how flowers can whisper what words often cannot, making it an especially thoughtful choice for conveying condolences in the Croydon community-whether to a neighbour near South Croydon or a family across town. The image holds space for grief and remembrance, offering a visual pause in the day where one can simply breathe, remember, and feel quietly held.
