Son Wreath: A Tribute of White and Blue Funeral Flowers

About the son wreath

Many funeral flowers lean on white chrysanthemums. Here the chrysanthemums are a clear blue, set in turn with the roses and carnations on a round base, with soft greenery showing at the edge. The blue gives the pale blooms a quiet strength, and every flower is fresh. It is a calm, beautiful choice for a boy, a teenager or a grown man, and it suits a church, a crematorium or a celebration of life.

A circle has no beginning and no end, so it stands for eternal life and a bond that goes on. A tribute wreath like this one is laid flat on or beside the coffin and is often taken to the grave afterwards as a memorial to a loved one.

Sizes, prices and seasonal flowers

Choose Standard at £60.49, Preferred at £71.49 or Elegant at £109.99. Each size keeps the same design; the larger ones add more stems of the same roses, carnations and chrysanthemums, so the ring looks fuller. Because of the seasonal availability of flowers, it may be necessary to substitute a flower for one similar in colour and style, of equal or greater value, if a variety isn't available that week.

Fresh flowers only

Some families look for letters that spell out a word such as BRO, or an artificial silk piece for the grave. We only make fresh floral designs, so with this son tribute, the card is where his name goes, with a few words of love from all of you.

Questions from family and friends

What can brothers, sisters and grandparents send?

Many families share one larger piece with everyone listed on the card. Brothers and sisters often choose a spray or a sheaf with blue freesia tied with a navy ribbon, and grandparents or friends a small posy. You can see every design chosen for a young man in this collection.

What can I send to the family home instead?

Sympathy flowers go to the house, often a few days after the service. A basket is easy for a grieving family because it needs no vase. The lilac basket is a soft option; see all our funeral baskets.

When should I buy it, and when will it arrive?

At least a day before the service, and earlier if you can. The first date we can offer is tomorrow, and the flowers arrive on the delivery day you choose.
