A meticulously arranged Christian cross of sympathy flowers, designed to convey respect and remembrance through restrained colour and texture. The main surface is completely sheathed in compact white chrysanthemum blooms, each petal-layered head pressed close to its neighbour to create a smooth, pillowy field that reads as serene and pure against the uncluttered white background. A deep purple satin ribbon, gently ruffled, outlines the entire cross and provides a solemn, satin sheen that frames the composition with dignity. The vertical stem bears the word "MUM" in bold purple floral lettering - small, velvety blooms such as lisianthus or miniature chrysanthemums set to form each letter so they are immediately legible and emotionally specific. At the arm intersection a lush centrepiece anchors the design: concentrated clusters of deep violet roses and softer lavender lisianthus/eustoma are layered with variegated green foliage-leaves showing lighter edges and darker centres that create depth-and occasional green berries for tactile interest. The palette of pristine white paired with graduated purples, from pale lavender to saturated violet, communicates solace and veneration; the overall effect is one of quiet gravity. You can picture this piece placed at a chapel in the area or carried in procession, its soft floral scent and dense petal weight giving a comforting, almost embrace-like presence. As an artisan tribute crafted locally near Shacklewell and the surrounding Hackney neighbourhoods, it brings together traditional symbolism and careful florist technique to honour a beloved mother.

A cross-shaped funeral tribute composed with quiet restraint and sincere care: the entire face of the cross is densely carpeted in small, pure white chrysanthemum heads, each floret tucked closely to create a pillowy, cloud-like texture that reads as calm and reverent against a clean white studio background. A ruffled satin ribbon in deep lilac-almost purple-is pleated and threaded around the outer edge, providing a soft, sculpted frame that echoes the central hues without disturbing the simple silhouette. Down the vertical arm, the word "MUM" is clearly spelled in rich purple flower heads - likely lisianthus or fine spray chrysanthemums - the letters built with careful spacing so they sit crisply against the white field, a personal and tender focal point. At the arm intersection a lush, domed spray becomes the heart of the tribute: tightly furled deep violet roses mingle with paler lavender lisianthus and lisianthus-like eustoma, their velvety petals and soft ruffles catching the light. Variegated green foliage with lighter margins and deeper centres weaves through the cluster, while discreet green berries add small points of texture. The colour story - pristine white with layers of purple from lavender to near-indigo - suggests purity, dignity and gentle mourning. There is a subtle, cool floral scent you can almost imagine: faintly powdery and garden-fresh. As a florist familiar with Shacklewell and neighbouring Stoke Newington, I picture this design set beside a church register or on an oak bier at a local wake; its craftsmanship and balanced palette offer comfort and a clear, heartfelt message of enduring love and remembrance.

    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.
