A substantial memorial cross, rendered with meticulous floristry and a calm, consoling colour story. The silhouette is densely clothed in white chrysanthemums-each head placed so closely the surface becomes a continuous, cushiony field evoking purity and repose. A deep purple satin ribbon, pleated and ruffled by hand, traces the entire perimeter, providing a formal, refined border that anchors the composition. At the centre a rich, compact spray forms the emotional heart: deep violet roses with their tight, layered petals sit beside softer lavender lisianthus or eustoma, the lighter blooms offering gentle highlights. Variegated greens-leaves marked by pale margins around darker centres, likely pittosporum-style foliage-and tiny green berries thread through the focal cluster to add texture, coolness and subtle movement. The vertical arm carries the personal detail "MUM," spelled in smaller purple flower heads so the tribute becomes unmistakably intimate. Set against a plain white background under soft studio lighting, the purity of the whites and the spectrum of purples read with dignity and sorrow: pale lavender for remembrance, deeper violet for respect. The tactile sensations-downy chrysanthemum, silky roses, crisp variegation and satiny ribbon-combine to make a piece that feels both solid and comforting. As a local florist serving Holborn, from Leather Lane Market to Red Lion Square, I often recommend this cross for church services or the graveside when families want a respectful, time-honoured expression of grief and enduring affection.

A quiet, reverent funeral cross made entirely of flowers: the large form is densely covered in soft, white chrysanthemum heads so tightly set they read as a pillowy, cloud-like surface. Around the entire perimeter a ruffled purple satin ribbon tucks and folds, its sheen catching the soft studio light to give a sober, elegant frame. At the meeting of the arms a lush focal spray rises-a close, exuberant cluster of deep violet roses and paler lavender lisianthus or eustoma whose petals range from velvety to delicately ruffled. The vertical arm bears the personalised message "MUM," each letter traced with small, rich purple flower heads that may be spray chrysanthemums or compact eustoma, standing out crisply against the white chrysanthemum ground. Variegated green foliage-leaves with pale margins and darker centres, suggestive of pittosporum-and a few small green berries slip through the central cluster, adding a cool, natural texture and gentle contrast. The overall palette of pure white to soft and deep purples, seen against a clean white background, reads as a language of dignity, solace and quiet affection. There is an almost imperceptible, powdery floral scent, the comforting hush of a spring garden after rain. As a florist working in Holborn, I often place such crosses at wakes or church services along High Holborn and at nearby Lincoln's Inn Fields; this piece speaks to families seeking a classic, composed tribute that honours memory with tenderness rather than fanfare.

    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.
