Artificial Funeral Wreaths

Artificial funeral wreaths are handcrafted silk tributes — rings, crosses, hearts and cushions — that hold their shape and colour through the service, the burial, and long afterwards. Unlike fresh flowers, they never wilt on the day and can rest on the grave for months as a lasting tribute.

The flowers at a funeral carry words that are hard to say. They should still look perfect at the graveside — not fading in the hearse on a warm day. Every wreath we make is finished by hand in our Bromley studio from premium silk, shaped, wired and dressed so it looks exactly as intended from the first viewing to the final goodbye.

Choosing the Right Tribute — What Each Shape Means

Tribute	Traditional meaning	Usually given by
Ring wreath	Eternal life — the circle without end	Family, friends, colleagues
Cross	Faith and peace	Family and close friends
Heart	Love and devotion	Partners, children, parents
Cushion / pillow	Comfort and rest	Close family
Gates of Heaven	A peaceful passage onwards	Family and faith communities
Angel wings	Protection and remembrance	Often chosen for parents and children

There is no wrong choice — the tribute that feels right for the person you’re remembering is the right one. If you’re unsure, tell us a little about them and we’ll suggest something fitting.

A Personal Message, Beautifully Made

Most of our wreaths and tributes can carry a personalised printed sash — “Beloved Dad”, “Forever in our hearts”, a name, a nickname, the words only your family uses. We can also work their favourite colours or the colours of a team they loved through the flowers themselves. Tell us about them and we’ll make something that’s unmistakably theirs.

The Tribute That Doesn’t End With the Service

Fresh funeral flowers are usually left at the graveside and cleared within the week. A silk wreath is different: after the service it can rest on the grave for months, still holding its colour — many families tell us this matters more than they expected. When the time comes to refresh it, our artificial grave flowers continue the same care all year round.

Made by Hand, Built for the Day and Beyond

Every tribute leaves our studio finished by hand: blooms individually placed and wired, bases secured, sashes fitted straight. Our silk flowers are UV-treated so they hold their colour outdoors — through a graveside service in the rain or a summer burial in full sun.

Our promise: if a tribute arrives damaged or loses its shape within 30 days, we replace it. No quibbles.

Delivery Across London, Kent & Surrey — In Time, Every Time

We know exactly what these deadlines mean. Tell us the date of the service when you order and we will make sure your tribute arrives in good time — hand-delivered across Bromley, London, Kent and Surrey, or carefully packaged for delivery UK-wide. If the funeral is very soon, call us first and we’ll tell you honestly what’s possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should send a wreath to a funeral?

Traditionally, the casket spray comes from the immediate family, while wreaths, hearts and crosses are given by wider family, friends, neighbours and colleagues. In practice, families today choose whatever feels right — there is no strict rule.

What should I write on a funeral wreath sash or card?

Short and heartfelt works best: “Beloved Mum”, “Always in our thoughts”, “Goodnight, God bless”, or simply their name. If the words won’t come, tell us who they were to you — we’ve helped many families find them.

How far in advance should I order?

Three to five days lets us make and deliver without rush, but we regularly help families at shorter notice. If the service is imminent, phone us before ordering online and we’ll confirm what we can do in time.

Are artificial flowers appropriate for a funeral?

Yes — and increasingly chosen deliberately. Well-made silk tributes look fresh throughout the whole day, can be kept afterwards as a memorial, and are a kind option for outdoor services in hot or cold weather when fresh flowers struggle.

Can the wreath be placed on the grave after the service?

Yes — this is one of the quiet advantages of silk. A fresh wreath is cleared within days; a silk one can rest on the grave for months. Many families move the tribute from the service to the graveside and leave it there.

What size should a funeral wreath be?

Most tributes for friends and wider family sit comfortably in the standard sizes we make; larger statement pieces suit close family or a shared tribute from a group. If you tell us where it will stand — beside the casket, at the service, or on the grave — we’ll recommend the right size.

Do flower colours mean anything at a funeral?

White traditionally represents peace and purity, red enduring love, yellow friendship, and soft pinks gentleness. But the most meaningful choice is usually personal — their favourite colour, their garden, their team.

Can you match a football team, hobby or uniform?

Yes. Team colours, service insignia colours, a favourite flower from their garden — we make tributes bespoke often, and those are usually the ones people remember. Get in touch with the details.

For a Goodbye That Deserves to Look Its Best

Every wreath and tribute we make is finished by hand, with the care we’d want for our own family. If you’d like help choosing, or something made especially for your loved one, call us or get in touch — we’re always glad to help, especially when time is short.
