A large, reverent floral cross meticulously covered with a dense carpet of pristine white chrysanthemum blooms, the surface so uniformly arranged it resembles a soft, downy fabric. The entire perimeter is traced with a sumptuous purple satin ribbon, its ruffled finish forming a graceful border that heightens the contrast between the white body and the deep purples used elsewhere. Along the vertical span the word MUM is articulated in clearly shaped letters using clusters of deep purple flower heads-probably eustoma or petite spray chrysanthemums-each letter modelled to be legible and intimate against the white field. Crowning the intersection of the cross's arms is a generous central spray: deep violet roses with compact, velvety petals sit beside pale lavender lisianthus and eustoma, creating a layered viola palette that draws the eye inward. Interspersed between the blooms are sprigs of variegated foliage-leaves with light green edges and darker centres-that add a crisp botanical edge and subtle texture; small green berries provide a quiet punctuation of form. The composition rests on a stark white background under gentle lighting that makes the whites glow and the purples hold a dusky, respectful tone. The overall effect is one of purity, solemnity and tender remembrance. As a local artisan familiar with the quiet corners of Wapping-from Wapping Wall to the riverside paths-this arrangement reads as a dignified tribute for a funeral, wake, or graveside service, meant to honour a beloved mother with restrained beauty and heartfelt care.

A tender, cross-shaped funeral tribute crafted from a dense mattress of pure white chrysanthemum heads, the surface so full the blooms read like a soft, pillowy cloud of remembrance. The cross sits against a crisp white background under cool, even light that makes the whites luminous and the purples sing; along the entire outer edge a ruffled purple satin ribbon is carefully tucked and pleated, lending a solemn frame that gently lifts the composition. Running down the vertical arm, the letters MUM are lovingly spelled in small, rich purple flower heads-likely eustoma or spray chrysanthemums-each letter sculpted to sit clearly against the white ground and to read as a private, personal message. At the centre where the arms meet, a lush focal spray gathers deep violet roses and paler lavender lisianthus (eustoma), their velvety petals arranged to create a quiet, reverent bouquet. Variegated green foliage-leaves edged in pale lime with darker centres-fans through the central cluster and introduces a soft, natural contrast; small round green berries are tucked among the blooms for texture and depth. There is a barely-there, powdery scent, like spring rain on a churchyard path, and the tactile density of petals offers both visual weight and a feeling of held embrace. This design reads as purity and dignity in white, with layered purples that suggest respect and mourning. As a florist who knows the docks and cobbled lanes of Wapping, I imagine this tribute placed with care at a service in a local parish or laid beside a graveside on Wapping High Street, offering quiet consolation when words are few.

    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.
