When chosen carefully floral tributes can say more than words but often it is difficult to know what to send. Here’s a quick guide to help you.

• Close family usually select the Coffin Spray or a Name Tribute so unless you are very close to the deceased leave these alone
• Sometime the family will request a certain colour theme, if possible you should respect this request
• If there are no colour restrictions try to choose colours which reflect either the deceased or yourself
• Don’t worry about the meaning of certain flowers, just choose those you like or those you think the deceased would have liked
• There are lots of funeral flowers available at florists, ranging from simple sheaths, wreaths of all sizes, names spelt out, heart shapes, ball shapes, the list goes on
• Bear in mind that florists may have to substitute certain flowers in funeral wreaths depending on the time of the year.
