What type of flowers should I send as a tribute?
Choosing the right flowers for a funeral is often chosen by ones relationship to the recently deceased or bereaved. We're here to help you choose the correct item/item's for the occasion. In some cases a theme for the funeral flowers may be requested, such as a colour scheme or perhaps a specific variety of flower, it may be advisable to check with the family so that you can select a Tribute item accordingly. Casket Sprays or Funeral Crosses are usually selected by close family members or by those undertaking the preliminary funeral arrangements.
Sprays
Funeral Sprays are a popular tribute expressing sympathy. Traditionally sprays come in a single ended (tear drop shape) and double ended. Double ended Sprays sometimes referred to as Coffin or Casket Sprays are often used to adorn a Casket with great splendour. Funeral Sprays are available in a wide range of styles, colours and sizes designed to suit your specific requirements.
Posies
Posies come in a variety of traditional and contemporary designs and can be sent directly to a funeral or sent as a tribute gift to a bereaved family. The Posy arrangement is traditionally a circular dome shape allowing both flowers and foliage to be displayed perfectly from all angles. A Posy pad arrangement is a circular flat arrangement that again can be as traditional in style or contemporary.
Wreaths
Floral wreaths are probably the best known of funeral and sympathy tributes, their ornate circular design is extremely versatile and are perfect for sending direct to a funeral as a mark of respect. Available in both contemporary and traditional designs, our wreaths come in a wide variety of styles, colours and sizes.
Sheaves
Hand tied Sheaves, also referred to as a ‘Tied Sheaf’ are perfect for sending direct to a funeral and can be sent to a home address after a funeral. A fitting alternative to the regular cellophane wrapped bouquet.
Special Tributes

From a floral heart tribute that makes a deeply personal statement and is indicative of the love and compassion felt by immediate family or the closely bereaved. To Names of your loved one. Our beautiful range of designs come in a tasteful variety of shapes, colours and sizes. Please call one of our supportive team to find out more and to get advice.
Coffin Tributes
Casket Sprays sometimes referred to as Double Ended Sprays are designed to adorn Coffins and Caskets. Casket Sprays are usually chosen by close family or the person who is liaising with the funeral directors regarding the funeral arrangements. Our Coffin and Casket Sprays are available in a wide range of styles, colours and sizes designed to suit your specific requirements.
What type of message is sent with the flowers?
Funeral tribute and funeral card messages can be difficult to compose during such a sad time. Just a few words of heartfelt sentiment will be appreciated. We have supplied a few simple examples below that may help you write your message should you require assistance:
“With love and fond memories of (name of deceased) from (Your name)"
"With deepest sympathy from (Your name)"
