Funeral Baskets of Fresh Flowers
A funeral basket is a gentle tribute: a flower arrangement in a handled wicker basket that stands at the service and goes home with the family afterwards. Each design is handcrafted by a local florist and delivered before the day.
Why people choose a basket
Most funeral flowers are made to lie flat, on the coffin or casket, beside it or at the graveside, like a spray or a wreath. A basket stands upright, so it makes a lovely display on a table at the funeral or the wake. It is easy to carry, and when the day is over the basket and the flowers can be kept rather than left at the crematorium. That makes it a suitable choice for friends or family who want to send something personal, with love, that will be enjoyed for a while after the occasion has passed.
Our three designs
- White Funeral Basket, from £43.99: white roses, white lilies, white carnations and white daisy sprays in a natural honey-coloured wicker basket.
- Pink Funeral Basket, from £43.99: pink roses, pink carnations, pink alstroemeria and white daisy sprays in a whitewashed wicker basket. It has no lilies, so it is a good pick if there is a cat in the house.
- Lilac Sympathy Basket, £49.49: white lilies, lilac carnations, purple lisianthus and white chrysanthemums in a natural woven basket.
The white and pink designs are available in three sizes, Standard, Preferred and Elegant. You select the size when you order: the larger ones add more stems of the same flowers, so the basket looks fuller in the same style. The lilac basket comes in one size. Each one is made with care and attention to detail, as an individual piece rather than from stock.
Funeral basket flower delivery
Add your message for the card and give us the address of the funeral directors, the venue or the house. A local florist makes the basket and brings it by hand, Monday to Saturday, from tomorrow onwards, and our network covers the UK nationwide. Delivery is one charge of £12.49 per order to one address, added at checkout. We cannot deliver on Sundays, bank holidays or to AB10 postcodes. To keep the quality high, the flowers follow the season: if one is short that week, the florist's choice of substitute is always a bloom of the same colour and style, of equal or greater value.
What our flower shop makes
We specialise in fresh funeral flower designs only, so there are no letter tributes, hearts, crosses or pillows in our range. For the coffin of the deceased, look at our funeral sprays and coffin sprays; for a small tribute, our posies; and for a lasting gift for someone special, our sympathy plants.
