Yellow and White Funeral Sheaf

About the yellow and white funeral sheaf

A sheaf is a flat-backed bunch of flowers made to lie down, with the stems gathered, tied and left on show, a little like a bouquet that has been laid flat. This one is a traditional tied sheaf in two clear shades, and florists create it to look beautiful laid flat, where everyone will see it. The golden roses and the open, daisy-like gerberas bring the warmth; the pale roses and soft, ruffled blooms beside them keep it light and calm. Together they make one even, sunny arrangement.

There is no lily in this design, which matters if it may end up in a home with a cat, as lilies are toxic to cats.

Warmth and friendship

Many people feel that sombre colours do not suit the person they want to remember. Golden flowers are often linked with friendship, happiness and warm memories, and paired with pale blooms they make a tribute that feels hopeful without being loud. It is a natural choice for someone with a sunny nature, a friend, a colleague, or a grandparent who loved daffodils in spring. It also sits comfortably beside other funeral flowers of any kind, and says a great deal about the love behind it.

Sizes and prices

• Standard: £49.49
• Preferred: £60.49
• Elegant: £71.49

The larger sizes add more stems of the same flowers, so the sheaf looks fuller while keeping the same design. Our florists use fresh, seasonal flowers. Depending on availability, the florist may substitute a suitable alternative of the same colour and style, of equal or greater quality and value.

Questions about this tribute

Do white and yellow go together at a funeral?

Yes. The paler flowers keep the brightness gentle, and the mix is fitting for a church service, a crematorium or a celebration of life.

Any special requests?

We don't offer a bespoke service, so each sheaf is made to the design you see. You can make it personal with the words on your card; our guide on what to write on funeral flowers may help.

Where is it placed?

It is laid flat on or beside the coffin, and many families take it to the graveside afterwards.
