Funeral Flower Guide
How do I choose the right flowers?
What type of flowers should I send?
This webshop is intended for all family members, relatives, friends and colleagues who would like flowers to be displayed as a tribute on the day of the funeral. You may be wanting to send flowers as a sympathy gesture to the bereaved family and in this case we would recommend you send flowers to the family avoiding the day of the funeral. They can be sent before or after the funeral date and would include a message such as "thinking of you" etc. We would recommend sending a Hand-tied Bouquet or basket arrangement as the recipients will have to do very little work to maintain them. A local florists near to the bereaved family's location would be able to help in this instance.
If you are sending a tribute for the funeral, your relationship to the deceased or the bereaved in many cases dictates the type of tribute you may wish to send. Our Funeral Flower Guide provides some guidance to help you choose the correct item to send.

These are very pretty funeral flower tributes and come in a range of sizes and colours.Funeral Letters Wreaths
Funeral letters to spell out a name. Whether it's for Mum or Dad, Son or Nan or if you want to make your own word or name. Funeral Flowers letters are around 30cm high and are generally surrounded by ribbon to compliment the top flower colour. Realistically, a name that is 7 funeral letters long is about maximum for the hearse but names can be created in two parts if a name is longer.
Check with the family
It is always worth checking whether the family has requested a colour theme and if so you should pick a tribute accordingly. However, you will find that any tribute will be much appreciated along with any message that accompanies it.

What type of message is sent with the flowers?
