A light, woven basket with a softly curving handle is filled to the brim with a harmonious blend of white, cream, pale yellow, and lavender flowers, forming a rounded arrangement perfectly suited to funerals and remembrance services in Upper Norwood. Dominating the display are generous, fully open creamy white roses, their velvety petals unfolding in gentle spirals that catch the light and lend an air of stillness and respect. Surrounding these central blooms are delicate freesia-like flowers in shades of white and soft lemon, some tightly budded, others beginning to open, giving the piece a subtle sense of unfolding time and tender care. Threaded throughout the arrangement, star-shaped clematis blossoms in pale lavender and periwinkle blue offer a gentle wash of colour, their striking yellow-green centres drawing the eye without overpowering the overall calm palette. The flowers are nestled in an abundance of dark green foliage, with broad, glossy leaves and finer sprigs that spill slightly over the basket's edge, suggesting a freshly gathered, garden-inspired style rather than something too rigid. Set against a pristine white background, the interplay of colours and textures is easy to imagine: the creamy softness of the roses, the delicate trumpets of the freesia, the starry points of the clematis, and the deep green leaves framing everything. Crafted with the sensitivity of a seasoned Upper Norwood florist, this arrangement feels right at home in a chapel near Crystal Palace, a family living room on a quiet residential street, or a small gathering space where loved ones come together to remember. It offers comfort, sympathy, and a sense of gentle light in times of loss.

An elegant sympathy basket sits alone against a pure white background, its light beige wicker and arched handle enclosing a lush, rounded spray of pastel blooms. At the centre of the arrangement, several large creamy white roses are fully open, their velvety petals layered in generous spirals that radiate calm, making them the visual and emotional anchor of the piece. Around these central roses, small clusters of freesia-like flowers in soft white and pale yellow weave in and out, adding fine texture and a suggestion of delicate scent, like a quiet breath of spring drifting through an Upper Norwood garden. Interspersed among the paler blooms are star-shaped clematis flowers, their petals washed in gentle lavender and periwinkle shades, with vivid yellow-green centres that create subtle points of light across the composition. All of the flowers are supported by a rich foundation of dark green foliage, with broad, glossy leaves and airy sprigs framing the basket and giving it depth, as though the stems were arranged just moments ago by a careful local hand. The colours remain soothing and restrained-creams, whites, soft yellows, and lilacs-ideal for an arrangement meant to convey sympathy and respect rather than fanfare. This is the kind of tribute that would sit gracefully beside a framed photograph at a memorial, be delivered to a home near Church Road, or accompany a quiet farewell in a nearby chapel. Every element, from the woven texture of the basket to the starry clematis blossoms, works together to create a piece that feels tender, dignified, and deeply consoling in times of loss.

    I was devastated by the sudden loss of my wife last week. My grandson arranged all the flowers with an online florist after discussing what my wife would have wanted. Many thanks to you and my grandson for making it a day full of remembering good family times and plenty of crying, appreciated the funeral baskets and posies.

    Thank you for helping me express my sincere sympathy to a friend who lost a relative. She loved the funeral basket so much and even wondered whether I had made the choices myself.

    I can give you a list of reasons why you should trust Handy Flowers in need of funeral flowers but the most important thing for me was having a company that will listen to my needs and prepare the tributes that I wanted. The team understood the pain that I was going through and arranged the flowers perfectly. Definitely give them a try.

    The family of the deceased insisted on having white flowers on the funeral and I decided to order this beautiful basket. It was very delicately arranged. Good work.

    I ordered flowers online for two separate funerals. The products and the service were excellent.
