At such a delicate time, the knowledge and efficiency of a professional florist ensures there is one less thing to worry about. Large family tributes or small graveside offerings, remembrance flowers for anniversaries or flowers sent to grieving friends to show you care - most requests can be catered for and your flowers will be personally delivered to the address of your choice in the Chesterfield area.

 

The array of Funeral tributes and Sympathy flowers is endless, and ever expanding - the most popular (and a few of the more unusual) are listed below but please contact us for any further information, or with a request if you don't see what you're looking for.

 

Regrettably, the majority of funeral designs are for delivery to addresses in our locality only.
 We advise you to obtain the number of a florist in the area where the funeral will be taking place and order with them directly.
This means you can convey your requirements exactly, and will be able to talk through your options and their pricing with them personally.

To order a funeral tribute for the Derbyshire area, please contact us with as much notice as possible as we do not keep the majority of different shapes in stock, so they will need to be ordered. Please also have as much information as possible such as the day and date, correct time of the funeral, the name of the funeral directors and if the flowers are to go to the funeral directors or to the family home.

We will quite happily come and visit you, or other members of your family wishing to order, with our full portfolio of work and give you advice and guidance in choosing the most fitting tribute.

 

 

popular designs

 

Double-ended casket spray - a diamond shape arrangement in oasis floral foam, traditionally a main family tribute as it is usually made large enough to cover all or most of the top of the coffin. This design can be made in any colours, using any flowers and ranges from 3' to 6' in length.

From £50 depending on size and flowers used

 

Single-ended spray - a tear drop shape in floral foam, either made as a smaller version of the double-ended if other flowers are to go on the coffin as well, or to complement it. Popular as a tribute from groups of friends or colleagues to complement family flowers.

From £30 depending on size and flowers used

In addition to funeral tributes, we also offer:

  • Sympathy bouquets - to send to the close family of the deceased to show you are thinking of them. This is especially popular when the funeral service specifies 'family flowers only' or donations to charity in lieu of funeral flowers. A large selection of the bouquets or arrangements in the Gifts and Home section could be sent as sympathy flowers as the style and colours are entirely dependant on the preferences of you and the recipient.

  • Graveside offerings - to commemorate Anniversaries, Birthdays, Christmas or other special occasions, we can supply single roses, plants, small posies or small bunches of flowers for you to take to the cemetery or crematorium.

  • Remembrance flowers - for Anniversaries, Birthdays or Christmas time in remembrance of a very dear loved one, we can create something special to convey your love and affection - 'gone but not forgotten'.
