A large, reverent cross-shaped funeral spray sits purely against a white studio background, its main plane built from a dense mat of pristine white chrysanthemum blooms that read like a soft, pillowy surface. Each chrysanthemum head is arranged to achieve fullness and a seamless field of white that carries a quiet, solemn clarity. The whole cross is traced by a rich purple satin ribbon, pleated into a ruffle that gives the piece a stately border and a hint of sheen under cool lighting. Centered on the cross, where the arms meet, a lavish focal cluster provides depth and emotion: deep violet roses with closed, velvety petals are coupled with paler lavender lisianthus or eustoma, their gently frilled edges adding movement and a soft perfume. Variegated foliage - leaves with pale margins and darker hearts - is woven through the central spray, lending a fresh, textured backdrop, and small round green berries are tucked in for tactile interest. The vertical bar is personalized with the word "MUM," spelled out in carefully placed purple flowerheads, compact and clearly defined against the white base, a singular statement of devotion. The overall composition balances purity and mourning - the whites speak of peace, the purples of respect and remembrance - making it suitable for a chapel service, graveside farewell, or wake in Leytonstone or the neighbouring Wanstead area. The craftsmanship shows an experienced hand: considered colour choices, dense petal placement, and a restrained but moving silhouette that comforts while honouring a life.

A tender, cross-shaped funeral tribute fashioned from a dense carpet of small white chrysanthemum heads, photographed against a clean white backdrop so every petal and shadow reads clearly. The body of the cross has a pillowy, cushion-like texture - each chrysanthemum is closely set so the surface reads as a soft cloud of cream-white purity. Around the outer edge a ruffled purple satin ribbon is woven with care, its pleated folds catching a cool studio light and framing the memorial with a gentle, dignified note of colour. Down the vertical shaft the affectionate word "MUM" is spelled in compact purple flower heads - likely lisianthus or small spray chrysanthemums - their richer violet tone popping against the white field and giving the piece a personal, intimate voice. At the central crossroads a lush spray becomes the visual anchor: deep violet roses with tightly furled petals sit beside paler lavender lisianthus or eustoma, their ruffled mouths and soft, satiny petals adding depth and a whisper of fragrance. Interspersed variegated foliage - leaves edged in pale green with darker centres - introduces texture and a leafy luminosity, while small green berries provide a subtle, rounded contrast. The arrangement reads solemn yet consoling: whites for purity, layered purples for dignity and mourning. I imagine this tribute resting at a Leytonstone chapel or being carried into a local funeral hall near Hollow Pond, offering a quiet, crafted expression of grief and love. The craftsmanship is careful and intentional, designed to honour a cherished life with calm refinement and heartfelt presence.

    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.
