Funeral flowers and charitable donations

Flowers are associated with funerals as a way of paying tribute to the deceased and expressing sympathy to the deceased’s friends and family.

There are a wide variety of different funeral flower arrangements and you can choose specific types of flowers or colours, perhaps in line with the preference of the deceased if known. There are many types of arrangements available from bespoke designs, coffin sprays and sympathy sprays to wreaths, bouquets, shaped and specialist tributes.

We can give advice on ordering funeral flowers and can also record or collect the card messages for you.

Many mourners attending the funeral may also bring flowers along to the service, but in some cases families may specify that they want to restrict floral tributes to just the immediate family.

Charitable donations

Many people prefer charitable donations in lieu of flowers. Our service includes the management of such charitable donations including, receiving donations, listing donors and forwarding funds to charities.

It is likely you will have a charity or good cause in mind who you would like to benefit from the money donated at the funeral. People usually select a charity relating to the deceased for example, a local hospice that they stayed at, or a charity linked to their cause of death.

If you are unsure about who to choose, you can donate money to more than one charity. We will be able to offer some advice.
