Sister Wreath: Pink and Lilac Funeral Flowers

The flowers in this sister wreath

Pink gerberas, pink roses and pink carnations are set around the ring with lilac lisianthus and white chrysanthemums, edged with fine green foliage. The gerberas give it an open, cheerful face, the lisianthus adds a gentle touch of purple, and the chrysanthemums keep it light. It is a warm, feminine floral piece that suits a sister of any age and any occasion of farewell, from a church service to a quiet cremation.

A wreath is a ring with no beginning and no end, so it has long been a symbol of eternal life and of a bond that carries on. On the day it is laid flat on or beside the coffin with the other funeral arrangements, and many families take it to the graveside afterwards, where the display stays for a few more days.

Sizes and price of the funeral wreath

Choose from three sizes: Standard at £60.49, Preferred at £71.49 and Elegant at £82.49. It stays the same and the larger sizes add more stems of the same flowers, so the tribute looks fuller. Because of the seasonal availability of flowers, skilled florists may substitute flowers of the same colour and style, of equal or greater value, if one variety is not in stock that week.

Choosing a funeral tribute for your sister

The best guide is what she loved: a favourite colour, the colours of her wedding flowers, or simply something that feels like her. Pink is a classic choice for a sister because it feels warm and tender, while lilac is calm and thoughtful. Brothers and sisters often share one larger piece and put all their names on the card. If you are her closest family and the coffin flowers have not been chosen yet, a coffin spray, which Americans call a casket spray, is the main tribute; see our coffin sprays.

Every piece we sell is made from fresh flowers; we don't make letter tributes such as SIS or SISTER, or artificial silk designs. Your words go on the card that comes with every order, as there is no ribbon on this wreath. A short line, such as "To my wonderful sister, forever in my heart", is enough. Our guide on what to write on funeral flowers has more ideas.

Questions about this wreath

How much does the Sister Wreath cost?

£60.49 for Standard, £71.49 for Preferred and £82.49 for Elegant, plus £12.49 delivery per order.

When should I order?

At least a day before the funeral, and earlier if you can. The first delivery date we can offer is tomorrow.

Can I send flowers to her family at home?

Yes. Funeral flowers delivered to the service are one thing; flower arrangements for the house are another, often sent a few days later as a gift of condolence to those who grieve. A bouquet, a basket or a vase arrangement from our sympathy flowers is a gentle choice. Some include lilies, which are toxic to cats.

Is a wreath suitable for a cremation?

Yes. A wreath suits a burial or a cremation, and the funeral director will place it in the chapel or on the coffin. Our guide on flowers for a cremation explains what happens to the flowers afterwards.
