TRIBUTES
Set against a clean, bright white backdrop, this traditional Christian funeral cross is entirely composed of roses and delicate fillers, creating a moving floral tribute that feels both classic and deeply personal. The main body of the cross is formed from lush, fully opened deep red roses, their velvety petals layered thickly to create a rich, almost tapestry-like surface along both the upright and crossbar. Nestled among them, clusters of vibrant fuchsia pink roses and plump buds introduce a softer, more tender note, like shared stories and laughter remembered in quiet moments. At the very edges, a refined border of tiny white blossoms - likely spray chrysanthemums or petite carnations - draws a crisp outline around the cross, giving the design clarity and a sense of gentle lightness, as though resting on a bed of cloud. Small hints of fresh green leaves and possibly a slim decorative ribbon appear around the sides, adding structure and a subtle frame that speaks of expert craftsmanship by a local Oxford florist familiar with arranging tributes for services in churches from Jericho to Iffley. The lighting is soft and even, allowing the deep reds, vivid pinks, and pure whites to stand out without harsh shadows, creating an atmosphere of peace and contemplation. This floral cross is intended as a heartfelt expression of sympathy, ideal for funeral services, cremations, or memorial gatherings across Oxford, offering comfort, faith, and a dignified farewell to a beloved soul.
SINCEREST CARE CROSS
£115.00
This image presents a deeply serene heart-shaped floral tribute, photographed from directly above so that every detail of the workmanship is visible. The broad heart is completely covered in tightly packed, small white spray chrysanthemums, their rounded petals forming a dense, plush carpet of soft texture that speaks of purity and quiet peace, reminiscent of a misty morning over Christ Church Meadow in Oxford. Along the very edge, a neat emerald green ribbon runs unbroken around the perimeter, its satin surface giving a gentle glow and creating a perfectly defined outline that holds the shape together visually. Crossing the upper left curve of the heart is a diagonal spray of rich magenta and fuchsia pink calla lilies, some fully open with deep, velvety centres, others slightly more slender and trailing gracefully downward towards the lower right. This colourful spray becomes the emotional focus of the tribute, a band of strong yet tender colour set against the snowy chrysanthemums. Threaded between the calla lilies are smaller clusters of dainty white freesia or similar blossoms, their lighter, airy form and subtle fragrance hinted at in the composition. Surrounding these are layers of fresh green foliage: fine, feathery fern fronds, elongated calla leaves, and glossy greenery that introduce depth and natural movement. The tribute feels carefully balanced, with symmetry in the chrysanthemum heart and gentle asymmetry in the calla spray, much like the thoughtful designs created by experienced Oxford florists for funeral and memorial services across the city, from Jericho to Headington, to honour a life with grace and heartfelt emotion.
ALWAYS REMEMBERED HEART
£95.00
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
£150.00
A refined heart-shaped floral tribute is shown against a plain white background, its entire surface densely paved with small-headed white chrysanthemums that create a plush, cushion-like texture. The flowers are arranged so carefully that no gaps show, forming a continuous field of white that suggests purity, serenity, and a gentle embrace, like morning mist over Port Meadow in Oxford. On the upper left curve of the heart, an elegant spray of three deep red roses adds a poignant focal point. Their velvety petals curl outward in neat spirals, each bloom at its peak, accompanied by delicate white filler flowers and a mix of rich green foliage, including glossy rose leaves and fine, airy sprigs that give a sense of movement. From this main cluster, long, slender strands of bright green grass arc gracefully across the face of the heart, visually linking to two further red roses that sit lower and toward the right, creating a soft diagonal line of colour. Around the outer edge, a dark green satin ribbon has been carefully pleated to frame the heart, giving a polished, professional finish. The design feels both classic and deeply personal, the sort of sympathy tribute families might send for a memorial at an Oxford churchyard or crematorium, when they want to express enduring love, heartfelt loss, and respect. Though the image is still, you can almost sense the faint, fresh scent of chrysanthemum and rose, offering quiet comfort in a time of grief.
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES HEART
£95.00
In this detailed image, a plush cushion of flowers appears to float against a bright white backdrop, creating a serene, almost chapel-like atmosphere. The tribute is shaped like a soft rectangular pillow with rounded corners, completely covered in closely set blooms so that no base is visible. Fuchsia and pastel pink roses are the most eye-catching, their petals unfurling in spirals of colour beside creamy lemon-tinged roses that add warmth and light. Nestled between them are clusters of deep purple lisianthus, their velvety trumpets and ruffled edges introducing a gentle, contemplative mood, reminiscent of quiet moments in Oxford's historic churchyards off the High Street or near Jericho. Delicate sprays of tiny lavender-hued flowers, likely statice or limonium, weave through the design, lending a misty, cloud-like softness. Around and beneath the blooms, cool, rounded eucalyptus leaves in silvery green catch the light, while darker, finer foliage adds shadow, dimension, and a sense of natural woodland texture. The flowers are arranged so densely that the surface looks cushioned and comforting, as though it could cradle a final message of love. The lighting is soft and even, emphasizing the intricate textures of each petal and leaf without harsh shadows. This floral pillow is a classic sympathy design, often chosen in Oxford for funeral services, cremations, and graveside tributes, where families wish to convey deep affection, gratitude, and a peaceful farewell through a tangible, beautifully crafted arrangement of fresh, seasonal flowers.
HEARTFELT SORROW CUSHION
£95.00
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
£135.00
A traditional Christian cross crafted entirely from flowers rests against a clear white background, its quiet elegance suited to funerals and memorials across Oxford. The structure of the cross is generously padded with tightly packed white cushion chrysanthemums or similar small blossoms, arranged so precisely that they form a smooth, velvety surface reminiscent of fresh snow along the paths of Port Meadow. Each petal contributes to a sense of stillness and purity, inviting reflection and gentle remembrance. Around the perimeter of the cross runs a narrow, vivid green edging of foliage or small green floral pieces, hugging every curve and corner so the shape remains crisp and defined against the pale backdrop. At the centre where the arms meet, a raised floral spray introduces soft colour and emotional warmth. Several roses in full bloom, in tones of soft peach, pale blush pink, and creamy white, are clustered together like a tender embrace. Their rounded forms contrast with the tiny white blooms beneath, creating a natural focal point. Wispy green ferns, fine strands of looping grass, and discreet accents of tiny purple filler flowers weave among the roses, adding movement and texture without overwhelming the design. The overall lighting is clean and bright, without glare, allowing the subtleties of cream, green, and lavender to show clearly. This floral cross feels especially fitting for services in local churches near the High Street or quiet chapels in Cowley, a respectful tribute that speaks of love, farewell, and the hope of peace beyond this life.
DEEP SYMPATHY CROSS
£90.00
A beautifully composed floral cross, reminiscent of the thoughtful tributes often seen in Oxford's old stone churches, fills the centre of the image against a clean, brilliant white background. The entire Christian cross is constructed from tightly massed flowers, so that every inch is covered in soft petals, creating a thick, cushioned appearance. The colour palette is gentle and comforting: white and ivory form the foundation, while soft peach, apricot, and blush-pink roses bring warmth and subtle colour. Larger roses, some fully open and others delicately budding, are placed in small clusters across the cross, drawing the eye naturally from top to base and along each arm, almost like a quiet pathway of memories. Between these focal blooms, mounded clusters of fluffy white hydrangea, along with smaller white spray roses or similar blooms, fill the gaps and add a sense of abundance. Their rounded, cloud-like texture helps soften the outline so the cross appears lovingly hand-shaped rather than rigid. Tiny hints of lavender-coloured filler flowers are scattered with restraint, providing little sparks of pale purple that give extra detail when viewed closely. Peeking from beneath the flowers, discreet touches of fresh greenery trace the contours and add definition, ensuring the cross shape remains clear and harmonious. The soft, even lighting picks up the creamy undertones in the ivory petals and creates a light shadow below, giving the design dimension without distraction. Intended as a funeral or memorial arrangement, this floral cross conveys peace, faith, and heartfelt condolence, offering a dignified way for families in Oxford to honour a loved one with a symbol of hope and enduring love.
DIVINITY CROSS
£105.00
In the stillness of a bright white background, a full heart-shaped floral arrangement emerges, its shape unmistakable and its composition crafted with the artistry found in Oxford's independent florists. Around three dozen roses, in soft hues of blush pink and creamy, pale yolk-tinted white, knit closely together to form the heart's structure. The petals, impossibly smooth and rich in texture, form a gentle spiral, suggesting a story unfolding petal by petal. Wisps of delicate white baby's breath peek between the generous roses, their tiny blooms reminding one of spring mornings by the Radcliffe Camera. Every detail has been attended to: the roses are at different stages, from promising tight buds to lush, open faces, representing the ebb and flow of emotion that accompanies life's significant milestones. The bouquet's soft pastel palette, heightened by crisp lighting, underscores sentiments of love, remembrance, and gratitude that often fill Oxford homes and gathering spaces. Whether chosen as a tribute for a quiet service in Jericho or as a gesture of deep love for someone dear, this arrangement radiates comfort, peace, and the quiet reassurance of flowers grown and arranged close to home.

ETERNAL PEACE TRIBUTE
£90.00
A serene floral cross, designed as a traditional Christian funeral tribute, fills the frame against a pure white background that enhances every detail of the craftsmanship. The entire body of the cross is generously covered with compact white chrysanthemum buttons, arranged so tightly that no stem or frame is visible, only a cushion of soft, cloud-like petals symbolising peace and innocence. Along the perimeter runs a precise border of lime green ribbon, its clean line giving definition and a hint of fresh colour, like the first spring grass along the banks of the Thames near Oxford's Folly Bridge. At the intersection of the vertical and horizontal arms, a graceful posy of roses forms the focal point. These larger blooms open fully in tender shades of pastel pink, delicate peach, and gentle cream, their ruffled petals surrounded by lacy green ferns and light touches of lilac or lavender filler flowers. The contrasting textures-smooth chrysanthemum buttons, satiny rose petals, and feathery foliage-create visual depth while maintaining a calm, composed mood. The arrangement feels both formal and deeply personal, suited to a funeral, wake, or memorial gathering anywhere in Oxford, from a quiet church near Headington to a chapel in Cowley. It suggests the quiet hush of a service where memories are shared and eyes may be tearful, yet comforted by this expression of faith and remembrance. The floral cross looks freshly made and carefully handled, ready to be delivered as a loving farewell to honour someone dear.

Elegant heart-shaped sympathy tribute composed almost entirely of pure white chrysanthemums, their small, rounded petals forming a continuous, velvety blanket of blooms. The heart is presented on a clean white background so its contours are clearly defined, and the fresh white flowers glow softly as if under gentle daylight. A vivid emerald green satin ribbon trims the edge, pleated into a ruffled, scalloped border that creates a refined frame and adds depth and structure to the design. Nestled into the upper left curve of the heart is a softly asymmetrical accent spray: two creamy white roses in full bloom, their layered petals opening like a quiet sigh, rest among delicate white buds and airy blossoms similar to freesias. Rich green leaves and light, feathery fronds extend from this cluster, some trailing lightly across the chrysanthemum base to break the surface and suggest a natural garden feel. The overall mood is hushed and contemplative, evoking the stillness of an early morning walk along the Thames in Oxford or through the peaceful paths of Port Meadow. This floral heart would be a fitting tribute for a funeral or memorial service at a local Oxford church, crematorium, or cemetery, conveying deep affection, respect, and gentle condolences when words can feel inadequate. Its classic combination of white flowers and green ribbon makes it a timeless choice for honouring a loved one's memory with dignity and grace.
ETERNITY HEART
£95.00
Set against a brilliant, uncluttered white background, this cross-shaped floral tribute appears gently tilted, as if resting in calm reflection. The outline of the cross is impeccably defined by a dense fringe of white spray chrysanthemums, their small, rounded petals forming a soft, feathery border that looks almost like freshly fallen snow around the design. Just beneath this cloud of white, a narrow band of neatly folded pale green ribbon or foliage traces the entire perimeter, giving the cross structure and a polished finish, reminiscent of the tidy lawns and borders you might stroll past in Oxford's Jericho or along the towpath. Inside this frame, the cross is alive with colour and emotional warmth. Large, fully opened roses in vivid fuchsia pink and soft, creamy yellow are carefully spaced to draw the eye along the arms and down the length of the cross, their lush petals suggesting tenderness and love. Nestled between these roses are bright lime-green button chrysanthemums, their round, textured centres creating playful pops of fresh colour. Smaller, deep purple and violet blooms weave through the composition, adding richness and contrast, like the deep tones of stained glass in a quiet city church. The careful placement of each flower reveals an experienced florist's hand, with balance, rhythm and texture thoughtfully considered. Illuminated by even, white light, every detail is clear, from the tiniest floret to the precise fold of ribbon. This floral cross would make a meaningful sympathy tribute for a funeral or memorial in Oxford, conveying gentle remembrance, respect and a sense of hopeful beauty.

BLUE KHANDA SIKH TRIBUTE
BLUE KHANDA SIKH TRIBUTE
£190.00
A full, beautifully shaped floral heart sits alone against a bright white background, allowing every detail of the design to stand out with quiet dignity, much like a tribute you might see at a memorial service in Oxford's Botley or Headington. The heart is perfectly symmetrical and divided straight down the middle, so that two different shades of roses meet gently at the centre. On the left, clusters of creamy white and barely yellow roses are packed closely together, their petals unfurling in calm, layered spirals that suggest purity, serenity, and a sense of peaceful rest. On the right, an equally lush mass of soft, mid-toned pink roses creates a tender contrast, their slightly deeper colour evoking affection and cherished memories. Throughout the arrangement, and especially around the edges and along the central dividing line, fine stems of white baby's breath weave between the roses, forming a delicate, mist-like fringe that softens the heart's outline. This gypsophila gives the impression of a light veil, adding texture without overpowering the roses. The composition is clear, harmonious, and deeply symbolic: two tones of love held in one unified shape. One can almost feel the smooth, velvety surface of the petals and imagine their gentle fragrance. Created with the care of a seasoned Oxford florist, this heart-shaped tribute feels especially suited to funerals, remembrance services, and graveside farewells across Oxford, capturing both the sorrow of parting and the warmth of a life dearly loved.

COMFORTING FEELING
£95.00
Set against a pristine white background, this heart-shaped floral tribute appears almost sculpted from petals, a tender memorial arrangement that seems made for a farewell service in one of Oxford's tranquil churches or chapels. The heart is densely filled, its form clearly defined by a carefully balanced mix of colour and texture. At its core, several large creamy yellow roses unfold in tight, elegant spirals, their soft, buttery tones radiating calm reassurance and steady affection. Surrounding them, pale blush-pink carnations spread out in generous clusters, their ruffled petals overlapping like layers of fine fabric, forming most of the heart's outline and giving it a plush, comforting appearance. Interspersed between these pastel flowers are crisp white spider chrysanthemums, instantly recognisable by their long, spidery petals that burst out from pale green centres, adding both structure and visual lightness. Deeper notes of emotion are expressed through pockets of rich magenta-pink lisianthus, their velvety, bell-shaped blooms tucked thoughtfully into the design to provide depth and contrast. Small, fresh green leaves and hints of variegated foliage weave through the arrangement, echoing the greenery of Oxford's meadows and riverside walks near Port Meadow and along the Isis. At the bottom point of the heart, a soft pink ribbon peeks delicately from beneath the blooms, a subtle indication that this piece is designed as a sympathy or funeral tribute. The overall effect is one of reverent beauty and quiet grace, a floral heart that gently carries messages of love, remembrance, and gratitude to a much-missed person.

A luxurious heart-shaped floral tribute, designed as if to cradle a message of love, fills the frame against a clean white background. The shape is precise and symmetrical, created by expertly layering flowers so that the heart looks full, rounded, and complete from edge to edge. Large, deep red roses are spaced thoughtfully throughout the arrangement, their velvety petals curling inward like tiny cups of colour, symbolising enduring affection. Around them, smaller red spray carnations and mini carnations cluster closely together, their frilled petals giving the design a rich, textured surface that softens the bold outline of the heart. Threaded among the reds are vivid lime-green button chrysanthemums, each one a neat little globe that brightens the composition and adds a gentle, contemporary twist. Subtle touches of variegated foliage, green with creamy white edging, appear between the blooms, echoing the greenery you might see in the gardens and college quads around central Oxford. A graceful fern frond emerges from the point of the heart, leading the eye downward and giving the arrangement a natural, flowing finish. The flowers appear fresh and carefully conditioned, suggesting they have been prepared for a same-day funeral or memorial service nearby. This tribute, the kind often requested for farewells at Oxford crematoriums or local parish churches, feels quietly dignified yet full of emotion. It would be chosen by someone wishing to send a clear, heartfelt message of love, remembrance, and respect, using the language of flowers to say what words sometimes cannot.
ENDURING LOVE HEART
£95.00
A reverent floral cross, designed as a funeral or memorial tribute, is shown lying against an immaculate white background, the simplicity of the setting focusing all attention on the skill of the floristry. The cross itself is completely cloaked in a dense layer of fresh white chrysanthemums, each flower carefully angled so that together they form a smooth, velvety surface, reminiscent of freshly fallen snow in an Oxford college quad on a winter morning. Tiny green centres punctuate the white, lending the design a subtle rhythm. Running along the outer edges of the cross, a slim lime-green ribbon or trim provides a clean, defined border, framing the tribute much like the tree-lined paths around University Parks frame the lawns within. At the centre point where the arms intersect, a luxurious gathering of royal purple lisianthus blooms rises from the white base. The lisianthus petals are deeply saturated, velvety, and layered, exuding dignity and quiet sorrow. Wisps of light green foliage and a scattering of small buds nestle among the purple flowers, while a few lisianthus stems trail gracefully down the vertical arm, their buds and blossoms appearing to gently tumble in a soft diagonal line. The overhead perspective and diffused lighting reveal each petal and ribbon edge in crisp detail, while a gentle shadow underneath gives the impression of depth and presence. This traditional Christian cross arrangement, often chosen by Oxford families for church or crematorium services from Headington to Botley, expresses sympathy, faith, and a tender farewell to someone dearly missed.
