White Funeral Wreath of Fresh Flowers

What is in the white funeral wreath

It is a wreath with a generous mix of roses, carnations, spray chrysanthemums and small sprigs of waxflower, filled all the way round. Each rose is soft and open, the carnation and chrysanthemum last for days, and the waxflower adds a light, delicate edge. It sits on display on or beside the coffin and makes a quiet funeral tribute from a family, a group of friends or colleagues.

Why choose a circle of flowers

This is a circular floral arrangement traditionally laid flat at a funeral. A circular shape has no beginning and no end, so it has long been used to symbolise love and eternal life, the eternity that carries on after someone has gone. White flowers are the most traditional choice for the occasion. They suit any faith and say compassion and goodbye without a word. It is a fitting way to honour someone who liked things plain and classic, and a heartfelt tribute for your loved one that can reflect the quiet way they lived.

Sizes and prices

There are three sizes of the same design. Larger sizes add more stems of the same flowers, so it looks fuller rather than different.

• Standard: £60.49
• Preferred: £71.49
• Elegant: £109.99

The Elegant wreath, the largest size, is often chosen when several loved ones share one memorial tribute. Delivery is one charge of £12.49 per order to one address, added at checkout.

Delivery before the service

We deliver to the funeral director, the church or the family's home before the funeral. Delivery runs Monday to Saturday, with next day delivery the earliest option when you order online; there are no deliveries on Sundays or bank holidays, and we cannot deliver to AB10 postcodes. Because of seasonal availability, our skilled florists may use another flower of the same colour and style, of equal or greater value.

Other designs to consider

For a more formal look, the White Based Wreath with Spray sets roses, a lily and lisianthus on a ring of glossy laurel foliage and moss, and the Purple and White Based Wreath brings in a deeper shade. To send something to the family home as well, a funeral basket is easy for the family to keep, and a basket sits well on a table. You can see every design in our white funeral flowers and our other funeral wreaths.
