This large, reverent cross is constructed from an even layer of pristine white chrysanthemum blooms, each tiny head placed to produce a continuous, velvety face that reads as gentle and consoling. Set against a minimal white backdrop, the workmanship is immediately evident: a ruffled border of deep purple satin ribbon defines the shape with a solemn, almost architectural edge. Along the upright beam the name "MUM" appears in concentrated purple florets-likely eustoma or compact spray mums-formed into clear, stylised letters that stand out against the white field and convey a personal, familial farewell. The intersection of the arms hosts a sumptuous central bouquet of dark violet roses and pale lavender lisianthus, layered with variegated green foliage whose lighter margins brighten the cluster and whose darker centres add depth; tiny green berries or seed pods are woven through to give a subtle, natural texture. The colour story-clean white with layered purples from soft lavender to deep violet-speaks of purity, respect and enduring love. There is a hushed scent of roses and fresh-cut leaves that lingers without overpowering, like the calm air of a chapel near Horton or the quieter lanes around Malden Rushett. Thoughtfully designed for a funeral or memorial, this cross is intended to sit at a service, wake or graveside as a clear, dignified expression of mourning and remembrance.

A tender, hand-crafted funeral cross formed entirely from a dense carpet of small white chrysanthemum heads, the petals packed close to give a soft, pillowy surface that reads as purity and calm. The cross sits photographed against a clean white backdrop so every detail-each floret, shadow and seam-shows clearly. A ruffled ribbon of deep purple satin traces the outer edge, its pleated texture catching the light and framing the white body with a quiet, solemn elegance. Down the vertical arm the letters "MUM" are spelled in rich purple flower heads-likely small eustoma or spray chrysanthemums-each letter carved out with careful spacing so the dedication reads plainly from a distance. At the meeting of the arms a lush central spray becomes the focal point: tightly furled deep violet roses mixed with paler lavender lisianthus (eustoma), layered with variegated green leaves that have lighter margins and darker centres, plus a few small green berries adding a textural note. The palette-crisp white against a gradient of purples from lavender to near-black violet-evokes reverence, dignity and tenderness, while the petals' subtle fragrance suggests a cool spring morning after rain. As a local florist familiar with Malden Rushett and nearby Chessington, I picture this tribute carried gently into a chapel or placed by the graveside at a funeral service along Hook Lane; it reads as a personal message of love and farewell, designed to comfort mourners and honour a mother with quiet, crafted beauty.

    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.
