This large, exquisitely crafted memorial cross sits crisply against a white backdrop, its body composed entirely of tiny, densely placed white chrysanthemums that produce a smooth, pillowy surface evocative of quiet purity. A deep purple satin ribbon, ruffled and pleated, traces the full perimeter of the cross, providing a stately frame that contrasts with the soft white core. On the vertical arm, the letters MUM are spelled out in clearly defined clusters of rich purple blooms-likely lisianthus or small spray chrysanthemum heads-designed to read plainly from a distance and to personalise the tribute with tenderness. The central spray at the intersection is abundant and richly textured: velvety deep violet roses nestled with softer lavender lisianthus create a tonal sweep from midnight violet to pale lavender, while variegated greenery-leaves edged in light green with darker centres, perhaps pittosporum-adds crispness and layered depth. Speckled green berries and slender foliage stems thread through the bouquet, offering subtle contrast and movement. Under soft studio lighting the petals register a muted, elegant sheen, and there is a gentle floral fragrance reminiscent of a quiet spring garden. Crafted with funeral use foremost in mind, this piece reads as both solemn and consoling, honouring memory with restraint and affection. As a florist familiar with Old Ford and the nearby Three Mills and Fish Island communities, I find this design is often chosen to express steady love and respectful farewell.

A cross-shaped funeral tribute resting against a stark white backdrop, meticulously formed from a dense sea of small white chrysanthemum heads that create a pillowy, reverent surface. Along the entire outer edge a ruffled, deep purple satin ribbon is woven with careful pleats, framing the cross like a quiet halo and giving the piece a formal, dignified outline. Down the vertical arm the name MUM is clearly spelled in rich purple flower heads - likely lisianthus or small spray chrysanthemums - the letters sitting slightly raised so they read plainly against the pristine white field. At the centre, where the arms meet, a lush focal spray gathers deep violet roses and softer lavender lisianthus, their velvety petals forming a compact, fragrant cluster; the blooms are cushioned by variegated green foliage with pale margins and darker centres, adding crisp texture and visual depth. Scattered green berries and fine, glossy leaves lend a subtle contrast to the blooms, while the whole arrangement carries a restrained, powdery scent that feels like a cool garden at dusk. The composition is arranged with funeral service use in mind - dignified, consoling and unambiguous in its message of love and remembrance - making it suitable for a chapel, graveside or wake. As a local florist familiar with Old Ford and nearby Victoria Park and Roman Road, I note how the cool whites and purples read well in soft morning light and translate to calm, respectful sympathy gestures for families in the neighbourhood.

    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.
