Classic Red Rose Funeral Sheaf, Simple and Traditional
£49.49+ £12.49 delivery at checkout
Larger sizes use more of the same flowers: the same design, fuller.
A simple, beautiful tribute of deep red roses, dark germini and burgundy carnations, lifted with sprigs of snowy waxflower and tied by hand by a local florist with a ribbon in the same rich shade.
About the red rose funeral sheaf
This is a rose tied sheaf: a flat-backed bunch of flowers made to lie down, with the long green stems left on show for a natural look, like a bouquet laid flat. Beside the main blooms, germini, the smaller cousins of the gerbera, add round, open faces in the same dark tone, and burgundy carnations bring a richer shade and a ruffled texture. Tiny waxflower sprigs are dotted between them so the darker blooms don't run together, and the matching ribbon gives a traditional finish rather than a raffia bow.
A flower of love and remembrance
The red rose is the flower most people link with love, and at a funeral it says what is hard to put into words. Many families choose a red rose sheaf for a husband, a wife or a partner, and it is just as fitting from a son, a daughter or a close friend. This classic red also suits someone who was warm, bold or full of life. It sits well beside the other floral tributes on the day.
If you would like a different colour, there are lighter designs with white flowers, and every tied design is on our funeral sheaves page.
Sizes and prices
Three sizes are available:
- Standard: £49.49
- Preferred: £60.49
- Elegant: £71.49
The larger sizes add more stems of the same flowers, so the tribute looks fuller while keeping its design. Depending on the seasonal availability of flowers, florists may substitute flowers of the same colour and style, of equal or greater value, as a suitable alternative.
Card message and delivery
Every purchase includes a free card for your message, tucked in with the flowers. Give us the date of the funeral and the address of the funeral director or the family home, and the florist will bring the flowers ready to lay down, Monday to Saturday, from tomorrow onwards. There is no delivery on Sundays or bank holidays, and we cannot deliver to AB10 postcodes. Delivery is one charge of £12.49 per order to one address, added at checkout.
Questions about roses at a funeral
Are roses appropriate for a funeral?
Yes. They are among the most common funeral flowers. Crimson is chosen for love, white for peace and respect, and pink or yellow are often chosen by friends.
Can the flowers go in a vase afterwards?
Yes. After the service, untie the ribbon, trim the ends and stand them in a vase of fresh water to display at home for a few more days.
Can I send something to the family home as a gift?
This tribute is made for the funeral itself. For the home, a funeral basket or one of our sympathy bouquets makes a kinder gift.
