Luxury Wreath

Product Details

Luxury funeral wreath – premium handcrafted tribute The wreath has been part of British funeral tradition longer than most other tribute shapes. The circular form — no beginning, no end — carries meaning people understand without being told, and it holds its shape on an easel in a way that many other arrangements don't. These are probably the reasons it's stayed in use. A standard funeral wreath is typically built from chrysanthemums and carnations — reliable, widely available flowers that hold their form through a service. Our Luxury Wreath uses the same shape but works from a different tier of flowers. Garden roses rather than standard ones. Peonies when they're in season. Lilies, orchids, and specialty imports where the design calls for them. The coverage is dense throughout — the foam base should be barely visible, and the arrangement reads as textured and full rather than flat. This is made by our senior florists at On The Hill Flowers, fresh on the day of delivery. How the flowers change by season Part of what the luxury designation means in practice is that we source what's at its best at the time of your order rather than standardising around year-round availability. In spring, that usually means garden roses and tulips. Summer opens up for peonies and dahlias. Autumn suits late dahlias and amaryllis. Winter arrangements often use orchids and evergreens alongside whatever premium blooms are arriving well. If a specific flower matters to you, let us know early — some choices are season-dependent and we'll tell you what's achievable. Colour and personalisation White and cream are the most requested combinations for formal services. Deep red suits more traditional tributes where the weight of the piece should be felt. Contemporary palettes — soft neutrals, monochromatic whites, quieter designer combinations — suit modern services or families who want something less conventional. If your loved one had a flower or colour that was specifically theirs, that's worth building from. Tell us when you get in touch and we'll work with it. Sizing and display An easel or stand is included for display. For wreath sizing, we'd rather advise based on your specific service setting than quote a standard measurement — ring diameter affects how the piece reads in a church or crematorium, and the right size varies. Contact us when enquiring and we'll help you work out what suits the space. Ordering Two working days' notice is needed for premium flower sourcing. We deliver directly to churches, chapels, crematoriums, and graveside. FAQ What is the difference between this and a standard funeral wreath? The shape is the same — circular, displayed upright on an easel. The difference is in the flowers and the density of the arrangement. A standard wreath uses reliable, year-round blooms like chrysanthemums and carnations. The Luxury Wreath is built from higher-grade flowers — garden roses, peonies in season, lilies, orchids, and specialty imports — arranged with full coverage and more textural variety. It's a more involved piece to source and make, which is reflected in the care that goes into the two-day preparation period. Why does a wreath suit some services better than a coffin spray? A wreath stands upright on an easel, visible from across the room and independent of the coffin. A coffin spray lies along the top of the coffin and reads as part of it. Families sometimes choose a wreath as a separate statement piece — from immediate family, for instance, while other tributes from friends are placed around the coffin. The choice comes down to where the tribute will be positioned and how prominent it should stand on its own. Can I choose specific flowers or colours? Yes. Colour combinations, specific flower requests, and fully bespoke designs are all available. Some flowers are seasonal, so it's worth contacting us early if a particular bloom matters — we'll tell you what's available at the time of your service and suggest alternatives if something can't be sourced. The earlier you get in touch, the more options we have. What sizes are available? Wreath diameter varies and we'd prefer to advise based on your specific setting rather than list fixed sizes. A wreath that works well in a large church can look disproportionate in a smaller crematorium, and vice versa. Contact us when enquiring and we'll discuss what suits the space and the service. Is an easel or stand included? Yes, display stands are included. How much notice do you need? Two working days minimum, to source premium flowers at the right quality. If your situation is urgent, contact us directly and we'll tell you honestly what can be achieved within your timeline. Where do you deliver? Directly to churches, chapels, crematoriums, and graveside. We work with funeral directors on delivery timing to ensure the wreath arrives fresh and in good condition before the service. Who tends to choose a luxury wreath rather than a standard one? Usually families making the main tribute — the piece from immediate family rather than attendees. It suits significant services, formal or civic funerals, and occasions where the family wants the floral tribute to carry real presence. The luxury wreath isn't about status. It's about using better flowers to make a more considered piece, for someone whose service deserves it.
