Flower options
COFFIN SPRAYS
A coffin spray will cover a large portion of the coffin – you can choose the length of coffin spray, from 3ft to 6ft.
We often recommend a coffin spray if using a hearse to transport the coffin, as the coffin will be viewed from all angles.
Coffin sprays are typically from around £175.
HAND TIED BOUQUETS
A hand tied bouquet is a simpler, less expensive option and can be easily taken home after the service.
We often recommend a bouquet for less formal funerals, especially if the coffin is pre-placed in chapel as the coffin will be viewed mainly from one side.
Hand tied bouquets are typically from around £85.
Other options
You can choose any type of floral tribute, including a wreath, heart, cross or posy.
You may wish to have a fresh foliage or herb garland around the coffin or a letter tribute.
Simply speak to your chosen florist direct to discuss your requirements – they will be happy to advise you.
