The photograph presents a serene floral cross intended as a sympathy tribute, arranged with precision and photographed against a crisp white background. The base of the cross is constructed from numerous white spray chrysanthemums, placed so tightly that they form a continuous field of petals with no visible gaps. Their texture appears soft and plush, inviting the imagination to feel the cool, velvety surface. Each chrysanthemum shows a tiny green eye at its centre, adding the lightest scatter of colour, like delicate brushstrokes on an otherwise white canvas. Along the edges of the cross, a narrow lime-green ribbon has been carefully applied, following every contour of the arms and stem, giving the overall shape definition and a polished, professional appearance. At the very heart of the cross, where the arms intersect, lies a concentrated cluster of royal purple lisianthus. These blooms display layered, funnel-shaped petals, some fully open in generous rosettes while others remain partially closed, suggesting gentle movement and the passage of time. Tucked amid the lisianthus are slender leaves and pieces of fine filler flowers, adding texture and an almost meadow-like feel, reminiscent of floral displays prepared for quiet services around Fullwell Cross and the nearby churches of Barkingside. From the central gathering, a small group of lisianthus stems extends downward along the front of the cross, placing open flowers and buds in a loose, flowing line. This trailing effect introduces a sense of grace and fluidity, as if the colour is slowly descending in a soft purple stream. The lighting is bright yet soft enough to avoid harsh reflections, creating a gentle shadow beneath the cross that lends depth and realism. Overall, the design radiates composure, faith, and remembrance, a fitting floral expression of love for a final farewell.

A dignified floral cross, clearly designed as a funeral or memorial tribute, rests against a spotless white background, giving it a quiet, almost contemplative presence. The cross is completely covered with white spray chrysanthemums, each bloom small and tightly formed so that, together, they create a seamless, cushioned layer of petals. These flowers, with their understated green centres, bring a gentle freshness to the otherwise pure white base, suggesting grace and purity. Framing the cross's outline is a slim ribbon of lime-green, applied with care along the side edges. This soft band of colour provides a crisp border, helping the cross stand out distinctly against the neutral backdrop. At the centre junction of the cross's arms, a lush cluster of deep purple lisianthus flowers takes pride of place. Their velvety petals are layered and slightly ruffled, some blossoms fully open in rich, cup-shaped blooms, while others are still in bud, ready to unfold. Thin strands of greenery and delicate filler flowers wind between the purple petals, adding texture and a natural rhythm that recalls hand-tied arrangements created in the florist shops of Barkingside for local services and chapel farewells. A small cascade of lisianthus extends from this central point, flowing diagonally down the lower right arm of the cross. The buds and blossoms along this trail introduce gentle movement, as though the purple is slowly drifting across the white background. Soft, even lighting casts a faint shadow beneath the arrangement, grounding it on an unseen surface and enhancing its three-dimensional form. The finished effect is one of quiet comfort and spiritual reflection, a thoughtful floral cross that speaks of love, faith, and cherished memories shared over years in the Barkingside community.

    It was such a relief to know that we could rely on a company to arrange and deliver the funeral flowers to the crematorium. We couldn't attend the funeral and contacted Handy Flowers for help. Our family appreciated your professional attitude.
