How Much Do Funeral Flowers Cost?
Funeral flowers in the UK can cost anything from around £40 for a small floral tribute to well over £100 for a full coffin spray. Here are our real prices by type, what changes them, and simple ways to send something meaningful when money is tight.
What funeral flowers cost by tribute type
Every tribute below is made by one of our local florists. The lower figure is the Standard size of the most affordable design; the higher one is the largest size of the fullest design of that type.

What affects the cost
- Size and shape. A double-ended coffin spray, about 3ft long in the Standard size, rests along the coffin or casket and uses far more stems than a small posy, so it costs more.
- The size you choose. Most designs come in Standard, Preferred and Elegant. The larger sizes keep the same look and add more stems of the same flowers, so the tribute looks fuller.
- The flowers in it. Premium flowers such as roses, lilies and orchids cost more than carnations and chrysanthemums. A sheaf of deep purple calla lilies costs more than one of mixed seasonal blooms.
- How it is made. Wreaths, sprays and posies are built on a base, which takes time and skill, while a tied sheaf has no base and its stems show.
Our tributes come in a range of colours, from all white to soft pinks, lilacs, blues, reds and yellows to suit the person you are saying goodbye to. If one flower is not available on the day, the florist may use another of the same colour and style, of equal or greater value, so you never get less than you paid for.
How to spend less on funeral flowers
A tribute does not need to be large to be a fitting farewell. If budget is a worry at this difficult time, these ideas help:
- Choose a sheaf or a posy instead of a wreath. Both start under £50.
- Pick the Standard size. It is the same arrangement, just with fewer stems.
- Share one larger tribute with brothers, sisters or cousins rather than each sending a small one.
- Send everything in one order to one address, so you pay delivery once.
- Look through our cheap funeral flowers, a selection chosen for value.
How much should you spend?
There is no right amount, and no one at the service will be thinking about cost. Close family often spend more, because the coffin spray and family wreaths are the main display. A friend might send a posy, a sheaf or a bouquet to the home, often between £40 and £60, and a plant starts at just over £30. Corporate flowers from a workplace are usually a single spray or sheaf from the whole team. When a family orders several tributes for a loved one, the total can pass £300, which is one reason sharing helps.
What matters most is the sentiment. A small posy with a heartfelt card message is as fitting a memorial as an elaborate arrangement, and meaningful tributes come in every size. Our guide to card messages can help with the words of condolence, and our funeral flower ideas give more guidance on choosing.
What we don't make
We don't make funeral letters, the flower letter tributes that spell MUM or a name, and we don't make a cross or a heart, so they are not in the table above. Every figure here is for a fresh flower design we make and deliver.
Questions about sending funeral flowers
Why are funeral flowers so expensive?
Funeral tributes are made by hand by a local florist, often on a base, and use many stems of the freshest flowers. A coffin spray can take a florist a long time to build.
What is the cheapest funeral tribute?
Our sheaves start at £43.99 and our posies at £49.50. For the home, a plant starts at £32.99.
Is delivery included?
No. Delivery is £12.49 per order to one address, added at checkout.
Can I order funeral flowers for the funeral director?
Yes. When ordering, give the funeral director's address and the date of the service, and the florist brings the tribute before the funeral.
