Grandad Funeral Wreath of Blue and White Flowers

What is in the grandad funeral wreath

White roses, white carnations and white alstroemeria make up the light part of the circle. Between them sit blue-dyed and green chrysanthemums, which give a cool, fresh look and a little texture. This hand-crafted tribute wreath is displayed flat at the funeral, and its unbroken circle has long stood for eternal life.

A tribute from all the grandchildren

Grandchildren often club together for one larger funeral flower tribute rather than several small ones, and a round design is a lovely way to honour him together. Put all your names on the card, or a few heartfelt words he would have smiled at. If he was Gramps or Grandpa to you, say so: the card is where you personalise the flowers, and it makes a beautiful grandad tribute truly his.

Some florists make a funeral letter tribute that spells GRANDAD, each letter finished with a ribbon edge. We don't make letters, or artificial and silk designs; everything we send is made from fresh flowers, like all our floral arrangements.

Sizes and prices

Every size is the same design. Larger sizes add more stems of the same flowers, so the floral tribute looks fuller.

• Standard: £60.49
• Preferred: £71.49
• Elegant: £82.49

We don't make bespoke changes to the design, but due to the seasonal availability of flowers the florist may use another stem of the same colour and style, of equal or greater value.

Flower delivery before the funeral

We deliver to the local funeral director, the church or the family's home, Monday to Saturday from tomorrow onwards. The funeral home can then take the flowers on with the coffin to the church or crematorium. There is no delivery on Sundays or bank holidays, and we cannot deliver to AB10 postcodes. We don't offer same-day delivery or a set delivery time, so choose a day before the funeral date. Funeral flower delivery is one charge of £12.49 per order, added at checkout.

Other funeral flower ideas for him

Our grandad funeral flowers also include floral sprays, sheaves and posies. For something smaller from one grandchild, the Funeral Posy for a Man has blue delphinium florets, white roses and fresh white chrysanthemums. The blue and white sheaf is tied with a navy ribbon, and a spray of white roses and blue statice can be laid on the coffin. If you would like a ring of glossy laurel foliage instead, this design carries a cluster of roses, lilies and lisianthus in white.

Questions about ordering

What is a funeral wreath?

A circle of flowers, displayed flat at the funeral. It is one of the oldest forms of funeral tribute, and the ring with no end stands for lasting love.

When do I need to order by?

Order once you know the date of the service and where the flowers should go. The earliest delivery is tomorrow, so ordering a few days ahead gives you the most choice of day.

What should I write on the card?

Something short and true is best, such as "Grandad, thank you for everything. All our love", or simply the names of every grandchild. Our guide on what to write on funeral flowers has more ideas.
