Funeral Flowers and Their Meaning
Funeral flowers are a timeless way to express sympathy, respect, and remembrance. Each arrangement carries its symbolism and purpose, helping you convey heartfelt emotions when words fall short. Choosing the right tribute depends on your relationship with the deceased and the setting of the service.
- Funeral Casket/Coffin Sprays
- Meaning: These large arrangements rest on top of the casket or coffin, symbolising love and respect from the immediate family.
- Types:
- Full Casket Spray – Covers the entire casket (closed services).
- Half Casket Spray – Covers half the casket members.
Funeral Double-Ended Sprays – Elegant Tributes for a Final Farewell
A double-ended spray is a classic and graceful floral arrangement designed to create a stunning display for the coffin or casket. Its elongated shape makes it ideal for placing on top, offering a beautiful focal point during the funeral service and a heartfelt way to honour your loved one.
What Is a Double-Ended Spray?
Unlike single-ended sprays, which taper to one side, a double-ended spray is symmetrical, with flowers flowing evenly from the centre to both ends. This balanced design symbolises harmony and peace, making it a popular choice for families who want a traditional yet elegant tribute.
Where Is It Used?
Double-ended sprays are typically placed on the coffin throughout the service and burial. Close family members often choose them as the main floral tribute, creating a dignified and serene setting. Their size and shape make them perfect for expressing love and respect in a visually striking way.
Our Designs – Crafted with Care
We offer a wide range of double-ended sprays, from classic whites and soft pastels to vibrant colours that celebrate life. Popular flowers include roses, lilies, and carnations, but we can incorporate seasonal blooms or personal favourites for a truly bespoke arrangement.
Custom options include ribbons with names or messages, so your tribute feels personal and meaningful.

We understand how important it is for everything to be perfect on the day. Our team works sensitively and professionally, ensuring your chosen spray is delivered on time and presented beautifully.

Funeral Wreaths – A Timeless Tribute of Love and Respect
Finding the right way to honour a loved one matters at such a difficult time. A funeral wreath is a traditional and significant gesture, symbolising eternal life and remembrance. Its circular shape represents continuity and the enduring bond you share, making it one of the most heartfelt tributes you can choose.
Why Choose a Funeral Wreath?
A wreath is more than flowers—it’s a message of love, respect, and support. Wreaths create a serene and dignified setting at the funeral service, graveside, or memorial. Many families also send wreaths as a sign of sympathy, offering comfort when words are hard to find.
Our Wreaths – Crafted with Care
We design each wreath with sensitivity and attention to detail. From classic whites and soft pastels to vibrant colours that reflect personality and life, Molly’s tailored to your wishes.

Sheaf Funeral Arrangements – A Simple Yet Elegant Tribute
A sheaf arrangement is a beautiful and understated way to express sympathy and respect. Unlike traditional wreaths or sprays, a sheaf is designed as a hand-tied bouquet, often presented without a vase, making it a natural and graceful tribute for a funeral or memorial service.
What Is a Sheaf Arrangement?
A funeral sheaf is a flat-backed bouquet that lies gently on top of the coffin or can be placed beside it. Its design is simple yet elegant, symbolising sincerity and heartfelt remembrance.

Sheaf arrangements are versatile and suitable for:
- Coffin tributes – placed directly on the casket for a soft, natural look.
- Sympathy gifts – sent to the family’s home as a thoughtful gesture.

They are suitable for any stage of the farewell process, from the day of the funeral to later moments of remembrance.
