Heart-shaped funeral flowers are deeply meaningful tributes that symbolize enduring love, devotion and eternal remembrance. Typically chosen by immediate family or close friends, these arrangements powerfully communicate the affection shared with the departed.
- Solid/Based Hearts: Completely covered (or ‘massed’) with densely packed blooms often white chrysanthemums—to create a soft, 3D shape, frequently accented with a contrasting floral spray in the centre.
- Open Hearts: A hollow, wreath-like heart where the flowers are arranged only around the perimeter. This leaves an open centre, symbolizing love that endures beyond life’s journey.
Crosses are pro found, symbolic tributes shaped in the form of a cross. They typically represent faith, hope, eternal life, and spiritual connection. Often sent by close family members or religious communities, these arrangements provide a dignified, beautiful way to honour the deceased during services. The two most common styles of funeral crosses include:
- Massed/Based Cross: The cross is entirely covered (“massed”) in a dense base of small flowers—typically white chrysanthemums. This solid base is then accented with an elegant spray of contrasting flowers (like lilies or roses) in the centre or along one side, and usually bordered by a coordinating ribbon or foliage.
- Loose/Natural Cross: Rather than a dense, solid base, these feature a more open, organic design using a mixture of seasonal flowers and lush greenery. This creates a softer, more textured, and garden-like appearance.
