Funeral Flowers - Mortons Funeral Directors

If you need to arrange a funeral for a loved one, let us help with what happens next.

A beautiful tribute

Flowers have long been a traditional feature of many funerals as they make a beautiful tribute. Some people elect to have flowers from close family members only, whilst others consider large amounts of floral tributes as a fitting testament to their loved one.

If you would like flowers to be part of the funeral you are arranging, you might like to take a moment to consider the following:

The style you would prefer as the main coffin arrangement
The size of the arrangement and the kind of flowers you would like to have included

Whilst our Jaguar hearses usually have ample space for flowers, some hearses have more restricted space. It’s always good to consider these things before you commit to a particular type of arrangement or hearse.

You may find the following examples useful as a starting point, but please be aware that seasonality may affect availability of some blooms.

Many families ask us to arrange flowers on their behalf and we can help you with your selection.

Single ended arrangements are the perfect choice when a number of family tribute are to be displayed upon the coffin. You can select a style, colour and flowers which should be included, subject to some seasonal variation. We will be happy to talk you through some photographic examples of these arrangements.

Sheaves

These types of arrangements can offer a slightly less formal tribute for display upon the coffin, especially if several family members want to add their own tributes too. They can be lavish and large or more modest and smaller depending on your own requirements.

These arrangements can be formal, informal, modern or traditional and make a very fitting tribute for someone who has been loved and cherished in life. You can choose single or entwined hearts that can either lie flat or be displayed on stand if that is more appropriate to the ceremony.

Flower sculptures

The statement pieces can be formed in almost any size and shape. In the past we have helped to create everything from a snooker table to a Mother Goose! Flags, beer mugs, animal characters and motor vehicles have all featured in their time. Our experience in providing such tributes gives us the confidence to create that special tribute for your loved one.

What happens to the flowers?

Immediately following a cremation service, floral tributes are normally displayed for a few days at the crematorium, but in due course, they will be removed to make room for others.

For a burial, they will usually remain on the grave or close by. Sometimes we are asked to take the flowers to another family grave or to donate them to a local worthy causes, where the tributes can be rearranged and made into other more suitable floral displays. If this is something you would like to happen, please let us know.

We can also arrange to collect any cars that are attached to the floral tributes and return them to you so that you know who gave them and have the opportunity to read any messages.

Wish to thank all staff at Mortons for being helpful, caring, understanding at my fathers funeral. Used the same director at mums funeral 10 yrs ago so recommend. Made the day a bit easier on a sad day.
