Funeral Flowers & Tributes

Choosing your funeral tributes

It can be hard to know where to start with funeral flowers but this guide, and our community of florists, will help you choose a beautiful and thoughtful tribute.

Should I send or arrange flowers?

Many funerals feature flowers, but it usually depends on the wishes of the family. Whether or not flowers are appropriate might also depend on the faith of the person who has passed away, and some families might prefer donations to a charity instead. If you aren’t immediate family, or organising the funeral, check for an obituary or notice in the paper (or online) to find out if the family will welcome flowers.

Rely on our community of florists

Our funeral flowers are always hand-crafted and delivered by our community of florists. They have years of experience and skill crafting thoughtful tributes and delivering them sensitively. They’ll also arrange onward delivery directly with the funeral directors (where applicable)

Which flowers are used at funerals?

The meaning of flowers (also known as floriography) becomes even more significant when remembering a loved one. That’s why our community of florists pay close attention to the meaning of the blooms when they craft any tribute. Here are some of the flowers they like to use.

Roses

Their meaning changes according to their colour, from red meaning love and passion to yellow meaning friendship.

Lilies

White and elegant, lilies represent purity, innocence and sympathy.

Carnations

Another bloom that’s meaning changes with their colour. Dark red carnations symbolise deep affection while pink show a Mother’s everlasting love.

Gerberas

These bright daisy-like flowers come in all sorts of lovely shades and symbolise loyal love and innocence.
