A large, meticulously assembled funeral cross composed of countless white chrysanthemum blooms, photographed against a stark white background so every contour and petal edge is visible. The chrysanthemum field creates a plush, pillowy texture that speaks of purity and repose, while a deep purple satin ribbon-pleated and ruffled-outlines the entire cross, lending a measured formality and a touch of stately grace. On the vertical arm the name "MUM" is spelled in dense clusters of rich purple flower heads, the letters crafted from lisianthus or small spray chrysanthemums so they sit in relief against the white. The central focal spray at the arm intersection is lush and layered: dark violet roses with concentrated colour, softer lavender lisianthus and eustoma with delicate ruffles, interspersed with variegated green foliage that has lighter margins and deeper centres, and a scattering of small green berries for fine textural contrast. The combined palette-pristine whites, mid-to-deep purples, and variegated greens-reads as solemn yet tender, suitable for chapel services or graveside remembrances around Ilford, from Barking Road to Gants Hill. The arrangement gives off a gentle, powdery perfume rather than something overpowering; the overall impression is one of thoughtful restraint, a crafted expression of respect and enduring affection. Prepared with local knowledge and care by Flowers Ilford, this tribute is intended to sit quietly at a funeral service or wake, offering a clear, personalised message of love in an elegant, traditional form.

A tender, cross-shaped funeral tribute built from a dense carpet of pure white chrysanthemum heads, photographed against a plain white backdrop so every petal and shadow reads clearly. The chrysanthemums form a pillowy, cloud-like surface whose soft texture feels almost touchable; their cool white tones suggest purity and calm. Tracing the full outer edge is a ruffled, deep purple satin ribbon that gives the piece a formal, comforting frame and picks up the violets in the centre. Along the vertical arm the name "MUM" is carefully spelled in compact clusters of rich purple flower heads-small spray chrysanthemums or lisianthus petals-each letter raised gently above the white field so it reads clearly from a distance. At the cross's heart where the arms meet, a lush focal spray combines deep violet roses with paler lavender lisianthus and eustoma, the petals ranging from velvet-dark to soft mauve; variegated green foliage with pale margins, and tiny green berries tuck in between blooms to add texture and a cool botanical note. The composition carries a quiet, consoling scent-soft and powdery rather than heady-and the contrast between the pristine whites and layered purples feels both dignified and intimate. As a local florist who often prepares tributes for services near Valentines Park and Ilford Hill, I chose these materials to convey respectful sorrow and enduring affection: the cross shape speaks of faith for many families, the purple hues of mourning and remembrance, and the tactile density of the chrysanthemum gives a sense of hold and tenderness when words fall short.
