Specialist Floral Tributes

We have been very privileged to design some specialist tributes for our customers and their families.  A specialist tribute can really illustrate a person's character, their hobby or even their work...

We have not been able to capture photos of all of the tributes that we have done in the past but here are a couple.

If you do have a specialist tribute in mind, please do not hesitate to contact us, no matter how unusual you think it may be.

For the fisherman that swore he would get the ghosty head....


For the young man who loved St. Helens' Rugby Club.


For the guy that loved his dog.


And, for Thomas, the little boy we do tributes for every year.... and have done since we opened.


For the guy who liked a pint... or two!!


And for the woman who loved purple shoes with heels but could not wear them.  This was the final tribute from her friends...


I think you will agree, these designs really can depict a person and say a thousand words.  It shows a side of them that others may not have known about them and it is a real way to be personal one last time.

If you would like to talk to us about a final tribute, please contact us 0151 424 7444.


Heart Designs

Heart designs can be very popular and can illustrate love in a final tribute.  They can be designed loosly or they can be massed.  I have shown below both types to help you decide which type of design is best for you...

This is a loose heart design in Pink.  This can be designed in many colours including Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, Whites, Greens, Purple or a mixture of any listed together.


This is a massed design with a ribbon edge and a floral spray.  The massing is generally done in white and the ribbon and spray can be a colour of your choice.


This is an open heart and it is massed with a flower spray.  This design can also be designed in a loose form.


To see prices and sizes please check the price list button at the top of the blog or go direct to our website and look in the funeral section.  You can also telephone the shop on 0151 424 7444.

To start off our funeral blog, I would like to share some double ended sprays with you.  Each flower, each colour was discussed with their families and thought and care has gone into each design.

These designs are ideal for the top of the coffin and the ones you see in the picture range from 4 ft to 6ft long.


Gerbera and Roses are the main focus in this spray with a range of foliages.



The main flowers in this spray are Gerbera which come in a range of colours.


This spray has Delphinium in Blue and Carnations in Red with White filler flowers.
