Natural Hand Tied Sheaf: a Fresh Floral Tribute
£49.49+ £12.49 delivery at checkout
Larger sizes use more of the same flowers: the same design, fuller.
A soft, garden-style bunch of blush roses, pale pink ranunculus and cream hydrangea, gathered by a local florist and finished with a simple raffia tie.
About the natural hand tied sheaf
This is a flat-backed bunch of flowers, designed to lie down, with the green stems gathered and left on show, a little like a bouquet that has been laid flat. It is made in a looser style than a formal arrangement: the blooms are gathered much as you might gather them from a garden. Each flower is a feature in its own right, and the colours sit together naturally. Blush roses give it a gentle warmth, the pale pink ranunculus add layer upon layer of thin, papery petals, and the cream hydrangea, closer to white than yellow, softens everything around them. Instead of a satin ribbon, the bunch is bound with raffia, which keeps it plain and honest.
Who chooses a natural tied sheaf
A hand-tied sheaf like this suits someone who loved their garden, walks in the countryside, or simply didn't like anything too formal. It is a gentle choice for family or friends, with a simple elegance that sits comfortably beside a coffin spray, a wreath or other funeral flowers on the day. The same relaxed style is popular for wedding flowers because it feels personal and special rather than arranged for the occasion, and many families want that feeling at a funeral too.
For a more traditional finish, see the pink version with lilies and a blush ribbon, or view our full range of funeral sheaves. If you would like flowers to stay at the family home, a funeral basket is made to be kept, basket and all.
Size and price information
This product comes in three sizes:
- Standard: £49.49
- Preferred: £60.49
- Elegant: £71.49
The larger sizes add more stems of the same flowers, so the tribute is fuller while keeping the same look. Our florists use seasonal flowers in the best condition they can find. If one of the specific flowers is not available, they may use another of the same colour and style, of equal or greater quality and value.
Funeral delivery information
Like every item in our online shop, this sheaf is made by a local florist. Choose a size, write your words for the free card, and tell us the date and the address of the funeral director or the family home. The florist will bring it ready for the service, Monday to Saturday, from tomorrow onwards. We do not deliver on Sundays or bank holidays, or to AB10 postcodes. Delivery is one charge of £12.49 per order to one address, added at checkout.
Questions about this tribute
Should you untie hand-tied flowers?
Not before the funeral, because the tie holds the shape. Afterwards, with a little care, many families untie the raffia, trim the ends and stand the flowers in a vase, where they can last a few more days.
Can it be made in another colour?
We don't offer a bespoke service, so each design is made in the colours shown. Other colours are on our sheaves page.
Where is it placed?
It is laid flat on or beside the coffin, among the other flowers, and many families lay it at the graveside after the service.
