A reverent memorial cross arranged on a clean white ground, the piece speaks of calm and careful attention to detail. The base of the cross is completely carpeted with white chrysanthemum blooms, their densely arranged heads creating a smooth, cushion-like texture and a sense of serene unity. Around the entire outer edge a purple satin ribbon with ruffled pleats is woven to form a strong, elegant border, its sweep emphasising the cross shape and lending an air of formality. Along the vertical arm the letters "MUM" are spelled out in contrasting purple flower heads - small, round blossoms such as lisianthus or spray chrysanthemums - each letter raised visually against the white background to ensure the tribute reads clearly from a distance. The central spray at the crossing is a lush composition: deep violet roses with compact buds and softer lavender lisianthus/eustoma create layered tones of purple, while variegated foliage - leaves with lighter edges and darker centres, perhaps pittosporum or similar decorative greens - introduce textures of pale and deep green. Scattered green berries provide small pops of shape and contrast. The lighting is neutral and even, allowing the whites and purples to register without dramatic shadow, and the overall impression is one of dignity and consolation. Intended for funeral services, chapel displays or graveside placement, this arrangement is a thoughtful, classic expression of love and remembrance suitable for families across Norwood Road, Gipsy Hill and the wider Upper Norwood community.

A tender, cross-shaped funeral tribute laid out against a pure white backdrop, the design meant to read as both a quiet testament and an embrace. The full body of the cross is formed from tightly packed, snow-white chrysanthemum heads; up close they read like a soft, pillowy cloud of petals, each floret pressed gently against its neighbour to produce a seamless, calm surface. Along the outer edge a ruffled purple satin ribbon is woven in a continuous border, its pleated texture catching a soft studio light and framing the piece with solemn grace. Running down the vertical arm, the name "MUM" is lovingly spelled in rich purple flower heads - small lisianthus or compact spray chrysanthemums - so the letters stand out clear and personal against the white field. At the centre, where the arms meet, a lush spray anchors the composition: deep violet roses with tightly furled petals sit beside paler lavender lisianthus and eustoma, their ruffled edges offering a softer counterpoint. Variegated foliage, leaves edged in light green with darker centres, adds depth and a cool, natural contrast; tiny green berries are threaded through the cluster for subtle texture. The scent is faintly powdery, like a spring morning after rain, and the overall palette - from pristine white to dusky purples - evokes purity, dignity and restrained sorrow. As a local florist describing this piece for families in Upper Norwood and nearby Crystal Palace, I would say this cross reads as a reverent, personalised farewell, suitable for a funeral service, graveside or chapel setting when words are not enough and floral presence must speak for the heart.

    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.
