Funeral Cross Flowers with Spray

Product Details

Funeral cross flowers – cross with spray tribute The cross is one of the most specific tribute shapes a florist makes. Unlike a heart or a pillow, which carry general meanings about love and peace, a cross belongs to a particular faith. Families choose it when Christianity was genuinely the person's — when the resurrection promise mattered to them, when their faith shaped how they lived and how their family wants to say goodbye. It's not a decoration. It's a statement about belief. Our Cross with Spray tribute is a foam base cut into a cross shape, approximately 2ft (60cm) long, covered in fresh flowers with a floral spray arranged across the arms. The base is built from chrysanthemums, roses, and carnations — close-headed blooms that give the cross its shape and definition. The spray introduces lilies or seasonal flowers across the arrangement, varying the scale and texture and giving the piece more movement than a plain cross. The composition reads clearly as a cross from across a church or chapel, which matters when the tribute needs to carry from a distance. The spray element is what distinguishes this from a plain cross. Rather than a single flat layer of flowers, the spray sits across the arrangement with variation in height, which gives the piece depth and stops it looking like a filled shape rather than an intentional piece. Colour White and ivory are chosen most often — they suit the shape and the context, and they hold their own in the kind of light that most churches and chapels have. Pastels work where the service is softer in tone or where the person's character calls for something less formal. Deeper or more vibrant colours are less traditional for a cross tribute but can be right for someone whose faith was warm and expressive rather than quiet — it depends on the person and the service. If you're unsure, white or cream is the safe choice, and it photographs well in most settings. Size and display The 2ft length suits church altars, funeral home displays, casket tributes, and graveside placements. It can be placed flat, propped against a surface, or stood on an easel — a stand is available if needed. If the setting requires a larger piece, contact us to discuss what's possible. Ordering and delivery Two working days' notice needed. Made fresh on the day of delivery. We deliver to churches, chapels, funeral homes, crematoriums, and graveside. FAQ Is this tribute only appropriate for Christian services? It's designed for Christian funerals, and the cross shape is specifically associated with Christian faith. Most families who order it do so because the person being remembered was a practising Christian or because faith was an important part of their life and their family's life. It isn't the right choice for a secular service or where the person had no religious connection — a different tribute shape would serve better in that case. If you're unsure whether it fits, we're happy to talk it through. What does the cross with spray look like compared to a plain cross? A plain cross covers the whole base in a single type of flower — uniform, flat, and structured. The cross with spray adds a secondary arrangement of flowers across the arms, introducing variation in scale and height. The base flowers give the shape definition; the spray gives it movement and detail. It reads more elaborate and more personal than a plain cross while still being clearly a cross from across the room. What flowers are used? The base is typically chrysanthemums, roses, and carnations, which hold their shape well and give the cross clean definition. The spray uses lilies or seasonal blooms depending on what's arriving fresh at the time. If a particular flower has meaning — something the person grew, or something connected to their faith or character — mention it when you order and we'll include it where it's available. Can I choose the colours? Yes. White and ivory are the most traditional and the most commonly ordered. Pastels — soft pinks, lilacs, creams — suit a gentler register. Vibrant colours are possible if that's right for the person and the service. Tell us when you enquire and we'll advise if your choice works well within the tribute size and construction. What size is this, and where can it be displayed? Approximately 2ft (60cm) in length. It works at church altars, beside a coffin, on an easel at the graveside, or as a chapel display. An easel or stand is available if needed — let us know when ordering. If you need a larger cross, contact us to discuss options before placing the order. How much notice do you need? Two working days minimum. The tribute is made fresh on the day of delivery using a water-retaining foam base, which keeps the flowers in good condition throughout the service. If your timeline is tight, contact us directly and we'll tell you what can be done. Where do you deliver? To churches, chapels, funeral homes, crematoriums, and graveside. We coordinate delivery timing with funeral directors to ensure the tribute arrives fresh and in good condition before the service begins.
