TRIBUTES
Set against a pristine white background, this floral cross presents a moving and carefully balanced tribute, its entire surface cloaked in roses that radiate both strength and tenderness. The main body of the cross is composed of large, velvety red roses, each fully open, their tightly layered petals forming lush domes that press against one another along the vertical and horizontal arms. Between these deep crimson blooms, clusters of fuchsia pink roses appear, some with a garden-style fullness and softer ruffles, bringing a touch of warmth and an almost luminous quality to the piece. Interspersed rosebuds in matching red and pink tones add subtle height, rhythm, and a feeling of memories still unfolding. Around the edges of the cross, a continuous border of fine white blossoms-similar to miniature chrysanthemums or small spray carnations-forms a crisp frame, setting off the stronger central colours and underlining the purity and faith symbolised by the shape. Delicate threads of fresh greenery and slender decorative foliage peek from beneath the petals, gently defining the silhouette without overwhelming the floral abundance. The lighting is calm and even, capturing every curve of each petal and ensuring the reds, pinks, and whites appear true and harmonious. This arrangement could rest respectfully at the front of a church, funeral home, or crematorium in Longford, where families gather to remember a life with love and gratitude. Created with professional care, it offers a dignified Christian tribute that blends traditional symbolism with a soft, comforting presence for those grieving a loss in the local community.
SINCEREST CARE CROSS
£115.00
This image presents a beautifully crafted heart-shaped funeral tribute laid flat on a white background, the neutral setting allowing the flowers to speak with quiet power. The heart is completely covered in a dense carpet of small white spray chrysanthemums, each bloom tucked so closely to its neighbour that they create an unbroken, plush surface. The white petals, soft and rounded, evoke purity, innocence, and a sense of calm, making this tribute particularly fitting for a dignified farewell in Longford's local chapels and crematoriums. Encircling the shape is a carefully applied band of emerald green ribbon, its satin texture catching subtle highlights as it follows every curve of the heart, providing a clear, elegant outline. Cutting across the upper left portion of the heart and extending diagonally towards the centre, a vivid spray of deep magenta calla lilies provides a dramatic contrast. At the top of the spray, three larger calla blooms are fully open, their sculpted, funnel-like petals folding around dark central spadices, while lower down, two more slender, gently curling lilies trail gracefully towards the lower right, introducing movement and a soft, falling line. Among these bold magenta flowers are clusters of small white freesia or similarly delicate blossoms, whose petite, star-shaped petals and light fragrance lend another layer of tenderness. Interwoven with the flowers is a selection of fresh green foliage, including feathery ferns and smooth, glossy leaves that add depth and structure. The composition feels balanced and intentional, the kind of sensitive design a family in Longford might choose when wishing to send a heartfelt, visually soothing message of sympathy, remembrance, and unwavering love for someone deeply cherished.

£95.00
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
£150.00
This image shows a classic heart-shaped floral tribute, the kind a Longford family might choose to send for a final farewell. The heart is completely filled with small white chrysanthemum heads, their petals compact and slightly ruffled, placed so closely together they form an unbroken, cushion-like surface. The clean whiteness of these flowers creates a soft, peaceful foundation, suggesting innocence and rest. On the upper left curve, three deep red roses sit together in an elegant cluster, each bloom full and velvety, the petals forming tight, spiralling whorls of colour. These roses are surrounded by tiny white filler flowers and layers of foliage-glossy dark leaves for structure, and finer, airy greenery that introduces lightness and texture. Slightly lower and to the right, two more red roses appear, thoughtfully placed so the red tones travel diagonally across the heart. Connecting this path of roses are long, slender strands of bright green ornamental grass, which sweep in relaxed arcs across the white chrysanthemum base, adding movement and a sense of unity to the design. The outer edge of the heart is edged in dark green satin ribbon, expertly turned to hug every curve and give the piece a finished, traditional frame. The whole tribute is photographed on a plain white background, making the contrast between red, white, and green especially clear. This design, crafted in the calm style favoured by Longford Florist, would be suitable for funeral flower delivery anywhere in Longford, offering families a gentle, dignified way to express love, grief, and cherished memories.
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES HEART
£95.00
The image shows an opulent pillow-shaped funeral tribute, crafted so densely that no part of the base is visible, only a seamless blanket of flowers. Its soft, rectangular cushion form is built from layers of roses in rich fuchsia, dusky pink, and buttery cream or pale yellow, many fully open to reveal their finely layered petals. Between these classic blooms, deep purple lisianthus flowers are woven throughout, their velvety, fluted petals curling gently and adding a sophisticated contrast. Tiny clusters of lavender, lilac, and soft blue-toned filler blooms, likely statice or limonium, fill the small gaps, giving the arrangement an intricate, embroidered feel. Around the edges and curling between the blossoms, foliage provides structure and a sense of natural movement: rounded eucalyptus leaves in a muted silvery green soften the palette, while darker, finer leaves bring deeper green shadows and texture. Set against a clean white background with a delicate shadow along the base, the floral cushion seems to hover, its colours glowing with calm intensity. The overall effect is peaceful and contemplative, perfectly suited to moments of farewell. This kind of floral pillow would be lovingly prepared by Longford Florist for a funeral or memorial in and around Longford, perhaps accompanying a service at a village church or resting at a graveside after a quiet procession through nearby lanes. It speaks in the language of flowers of cherished memories, gratitude, and the wish for eternal rest.

PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
£135.00
This image shows a traditional floral cross tribute, thoughtfully designed as a symbol of faith and remembrance, set against a bright white background that highlights every flower and curve. The cross is three-dimensional, its entire face cloaked in tightly packed white chrysanthemums that form a soft, velvety surface, each small bloom blending seamlessly into the next. The whiteness feels calm and pure, reminiscent of quiet prayers and gentle goodbyes. Tracing the outer edge is a slim band of vibrant green foliage and small green floral accents, a living border that crisply defines the arms and base, ensuring the shape remains clear even from a distance. At the cross's centre, where the beams intersect, a raised cluster of larger blossoms introduces subtle colour and emotion. Here, roses in warm peach, delicate blush pink, and creamy ivory unfurl their petals, each flower carefully positioned so the tones flow naturally together. They rest among airy sprays of fern, fine blades of bright green grass that loop and arch outward, and tiny lavender-toned filler flowers that lend a gentle hint of purple to the design. The composition feels balanced and serene, as if created for a funeral at a local Longford church or crematorium, lovingly arranged by a florist familiar with the community's traditions. Soft, even lighting reinforces the sense of calm, allowing the textures of petals and leaves to be almost felt rather than simply imagined. This floral cross serves as a tender funeral or memorial arrangement for families in and around Longford, offering comfort, spiritual symbolism, and a graceful way to honour a loved one's life.
DEEP SYMPATHY CROSS
£90.00
The photograph presents a beautifully proportioned floral cross, its form entirely defined by a dense covering of flowers arranged with great care. Set against a clean white background, the cross appears luminous and tranquil, as if it has been placed in a quiet, light-filled chapel somewhere in Longford. The central focus lies in the roses, which are scattered generously along the vertical and horizontal bars: some are creamy white and ivory, others blush pink, peach, or a gentle apricot, each bloom contributing a different shade to a soft pastel harmony. Their petals are intricately layered, some tightly clustered, others fully opened to reveal their spiralled hearts, evoking the unfolding of cherished memories. Filling the spaces between these larger blooms are thick clusters of white hydrangea, or similarly full-bodied flowers, which lend a pillowy, almost cloud-like foundation. Intermixed among the pastels, tiny florets of lavender or pale purple filler flowers appear occasionally, like small notes of cool colour in a gentle symphony. Along the outermost edges, discreet touches of fresh green foliage peek out, highlighting the cross shape and adding natural contrast, similar to the fresh greenery that lines Longford's parks and pathways. The lighting is soft and even, without harsh shadows, revealing subtle variations in texture and tone across the arrangement. This floral cross feels like a heartfelt expression of sympathy, the kind of design a local Longford florist might create for a family wishing to honour a loved one at a funeral or memorial service. It conveys an atmosphere of quiet reverence, offering comfort through its soft colours, abundant blossoms, and the enduring symbol of faith it represents.
DIVINITY CROSS
£105.00
This hand-designed floral heart captures the gentle charm of Longford, where caring gestures and thoughtful arrangements are traditions at Longford Florist. Approximately three dozen roses, their shades ranging from subtle blush pink to creamy white, cluster closely to form a perfectly contoured heart. The roses are at varied points of bloom, their velvety petals and delicate scent recalling early summer mornings along the banks of the Duke of Northumberland's River. Wisps of baby's breath-dainty and cloud-like-are woven throughout, their scatter softening the boldness of the roses and lending the ensemble a diaphanous, calming effect. The entire arrangement is illuminated evenly, the colours appearing luminous against a crisp white backdrop, much like flowers shining beneath the bright Longford sky. This bouquet's composure and tenderness make it an appropriate gesture for moments of remembrance, gratitude, or celebration. Whether sent to a family home on Bath Road or displayed in tribute at Longford's cherished gatherings, the arrangement embodies peace, enduring love, and the quiet strength of community connections.

BLUE TEDDY
BLUE TEDDY BEAR TRIBUTE
£100.00
A meticulously crafted funeral cross composed entirely of real flowers is set before a pure white background, making its gentle pink and mauve tones glow softly. The cross shape is clearly defined yet softened by the sheer abundance of blooms, which are placed so closely together that they create a continuous, plush floral surface. Lisianthus flowers in shades of blush pink, dusty mauve, and light lilac dominate the design, their slightly ruffled, trumpet-like petals overlapping in layers that add depth and movement. At the point where the vertical stem meets the horizontal arms, three open roses in a sophisticated dusty rose and muted lavender hue are arranged as the central focus, their generous petals spiralling outward in elegant curves. Around these roses, fresh green fern fronds and smooth, small leaves are artfully woven, providing a cool green halo that accentuates the central cluster while balancing the soft, romantic colour scheme. Threaded throughout the cross are tiny pink and purple filler flowers, pale green buds, and delicate white blossoms, some with yellow centres, which create small moments of contrast and light. Along the outer contours, particularly at the tips of the arms and the base, slim strips of deeper purple ribbon or fabric peek from beneath the flowers, outlining the cross with a discreet frame. The overall mood is one of tenderness and respect, the kind of elegant floral cross that Longford families might choose for a church, crematorium, or graveside service when they wish to honour a loved one with a symbol of faith and a gentle echo of springtime colour.
ETERNAL PARADISE CROSS
£95.00
ETERNAL PEACE WREATH
ETERNAL PEACE TRIBUTE
£90.00
A large Christian cross made entirely from flowers is captured against a luminous white studio background, the gentle shadow suggesting its solid form while keeping the focus firmly on the blooms. The main body of the cross is completely covered in white chrysanthemum button blooms, packed so tightly together that they form a single, plush field of petals. The surface appears soft and velvety, the flower heads almost touching, giving the impression of a comforting floral blanket symbolising purity and peace, much like the quiet, reflective corners found near Longford's churches and cemeteries. At the heart of the cross, where the beams intersect, a small bouquet of roses provides a tender focal point. These roses are fully open, revealing layers of petals in shades of pale pink, creamy ivory, and warm apricot-peach. Between the roses, fine green fern leaves extend delicately, while tiny clusters of lavender or light purple filler blossoms lend a hint of colour contrast and airy texture. Framing the entire design, a narrow lime green ribbon is carefully wrapped around the edges of the cross, just visible beneath the chrysanthemums. This crisp border subtly outlines the shape and introduces a sense of new life and hope without disturbing the predominantly white palette. The image conveys a quiet, reverent mood, suggesting a funeral cross arranged by an experienced Longford florist for a church service, crematorium, or graveside commemoration. It reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and the desire to send a message of love, remembrance, and spiritual comfort during a time of loss.

This image shows a classic heart-shaped sympathy tribute, carefully arranged to convey quiet grace and enduring affection. The heart is framed by a vivid emerald green satin ribbon, expertly pleated into a scalloped border that follows every curve with precision. The ribbon's slight sheen adds a sense of formality and care, echoing the respectful atmosphere of a funeral service in Longford or nearby churches and crematoriums. Inside this frame, the heart is completely filled with a dense carpet of white chrysanthemums. Each small bloom is set closely beside its neighbours, creating a continuous, pillowy surface that looks both soft and structured. The abundance of white petals suggests purity, peace, and the gentle release of grief, like a comforting presence at a time of loss. In the upper left portion of the heart, a focal cluster of flowers and foliage introduces a more detailed narrative. Two full-bloomed white roses sit at the centre of this cluster, their creamy petals unfolding in smooth, concentric layers. They are accompanied by smaller white blossoms-likely freesias or similar delicate flowers-with slender buds and blooms that add variety in shape and scale. Surrounding this are rich green leaves and finer, feathery stems that arc gracefully outward. Some of the lighter greenery extends over the chrysanthemum base, softening the edges and giving a natural, organic feel. The interplay of white and green, matte petals and satiny ribbon, produces a balanced, harmonious tribute. This heart-shaped arrangement feels appropriate for resting beside a coffin, on an easel during a service, or at a graveside in Longford, allowing mourners to express love and remembrance when words might not come easily.
ETERNITY HEART
£95.00
A beautifully arranged floral cross is photographed against a clear, bright white background, the design angled gently so that the top left arm seems to come forward while the base recedes. This subtle tilt gives a sense of depth, inviting the eye to travel along the full length of the tribute. The cross itself is richly adorned, with no gaps between the flowers, creating a feeling of abundance and careful craftsmanship often chosen for funeral services around Longford. Dominant throughout are large roses in shades of strong fuchsia pink and delicate, creamy lemon, each bloom fully open and generously petalled. They form focal points at intervals, guiding the gaze from centre to tip. Between and around these roses, lime-green button chrysanthemums gather in rounded clusters, their compact, spherical heads adding a playful yet respectful texture. Interwoven among the larger blooms are smaller purple and violet flowers-likely statice or lisianthus-whose deeper hues bring balance and a sense of quiet reflection to the brighter colours. Framing the entire cross is a dense border of small white spray chrysanthemums, neatly arranged to create a clean, precise outline that separates the flowers from the stark white backdrop. Just beneath this border, a continuous band of pleated light green ribbon or foliage peeks out, providing a soft, tailored edge and an extra layer of fresh colour. The lighting is bright and even, revealing every detail without harsh shadows, allowing the contrast of pink, green, and purple to shine. This kind of floral cross, designed by Longford florists who regularly serve chapels and crematoria near Bath Road and around Heathrow, offers a gentle expression of remembrance, faith, and enduring love.
PRECIOUS MEMORY CROSS
£95.00
BLUE KHANDA SIKH TRIBUTE
BLUE KHANDA SIKH TRIBUTE
£190.00
A full, perfectly symmetrical heart made entirely of roses and baby's breath is displayed against a simple white backdrop, creating a serene and contemplative image that would be at home in a quiet Longford memorial service. The heart is neatly split into two vertical halves, giving the impression of two stories intertwined within one tribute. On the left side, tightly grouped creamy white and soft pale yellow roses form a luminous field of petals. Each rose is in its prime, the velvety spirals gently open, with edges that curl slightly like folded silk, suggesting purity, peace, and an almost angelic calm. On the right, the same compact abundance appears in medium pink roses, their hue carrying a note of tenderness and enduring affection, like the memories shared in family homes and along nearby streets in Longford. The pink petals show subtle shading and natural curves, adding depth and a quiet sense of movement to the design. Interwoven between these roses, and running along the heart's outside edge, are numerous sprigs of white gypsophila. These tiny, cloud-like clusters soften the architectural precision of the heart, creating a delicate, misty border that lends the arrangement a gentle, almost whispered beauty. The contrast between the creamy neutrals and the soft pinks, framed by the airy baby's breath, creates a tribute that feels both romantic and respectful. This heart-shaped arrangement would be a fitting expression of sympathy and love for a funeral or remembrance gathering in Longford, offering bereaved families a graceful, floral symbol of the bond that remains even after a loved one has gone.
INFINITY ROSE HEART
£105.00
This image captures a beautifully crafted three-heart funeral tribute, designed with the sort of care and sensitivity that speaks to families across Longford. The hearts are created entirely from densely clustered roses in a palette of muted mauve, dusty lavender, and soft pastel pink, giving them a plush, cushioned appearance. Each heart is distinct yet visually linked, arranged in a flowing diagonal line from the upper left to the lower right, so they appear to drift gently down the white background like a soft cascade of memories. The roses vary from newly opened blossoms to tighter buds, their layered petals creating a sense of richness and tenderness. Threaded through and around each heart are fine strands of fresh ivy, their vivid green leaves tracing the curves and forming natural bridges between the hearts. This greenery introduces movement and an organic rhythm that contrasts elegantly with the structured shapes of the hearts, reminiscent of gentle trails of foliage along paths and gardens in the Longford area. The stark white background, with faint vertical reflections to the left, suggests a clean, contemporary interior or a light-filled chapel wall, ensuring nothing competes with the quiet beauty of the flowers. The arrangement speaks of lasting affection and unity, making it ideal for paying tribute to a loved one, whether at a cemetery service or a crematorium near Longford. It conveys a message of threefold love-perhaps partners, generations, or siblings held together in one graceful composition-offering comfort and a visual expression of deep, enduring bonds.

COMFORTING FEELING
£95.00
A richly detailed heart-shaped flower arrangement sits against a pure white background, every petal meticulously placed to honour a cherished life. At the core of the heart, several large cream-to-buttery-yellow roses open in perfect spirals, their velvety petals catching the light and conveying a sense of calm reassurance and enduring love. These central roses are cradled by a dense surround of pastel pink carnations, whose ruffled petals fold over one another to create a soft, padded effect that shapes the entire heart and gives it a comforting, almost hug-like presence. Threaded through the carnations, white spider chrysanthemums appear with fine, spiky petals radiating from bright green centres, adding brightness, movement, and a touch of modern elegance. Deeper magenta-pink lisianthus blooms are scattered thoughtfully throughout, their slightly curled, bell-shaped flowers deepening the overall colour story and reflecting the more intense emotions of grief and gratitude. Small, variegated green leaves and hints of foliage peek between the blossoms, keeping the design feeling fresh, natural, and alive. At the very tip of the heart, the soft tail of a pale pink ribbon is just visible, suggesting that this piece is meant to rest beside a coffin, urn, or memorial in the Longford area, perhaps at a local church or cemetery. The white background and gentle, even lighting maintain a tranquil mood, allowing the flowers' textures and hues to speak clearly. This heart tribute feels like something an experienced Longford Florist would craft when families want a graceful, heartfelt expression of sympathy and remembrance.

DEVOTED HEART
£130.00
Against a clean, uncluttered white background, a sumptuous heart-shaped floral tribute stands out with striking clarity. The entire heart is formed from flowers arranged so densely that the surface appears almost like a living tapestry. Large, velvety red roses are scattered thoughtfully across the heart, each bloom carefully angled to showcase its spiralling layers of petals. Surrounding these roses, clusters of red carnations and mini carnations contribute a soft, feathery texture, the ruffled petals overlapping and weaving together to create a sense of movement within the bold red colour. Punctuating this sea of crimson are bright lime-green button chrysanthemums. Their round, compact heads, formed from tightly packed florets, provide a vivid contrast, making the reds appear even richer while lending a fresh, modern feel to the design. Around the outer edges, variegated foliage in deep green and creamy white frames the heart, reinforcing its shape and adding subtle depth. At the pointed base of the heart, a few fine, fern-like leaves peek out, adding a final, graceful flourish. The overall impression is of profound affection expressed through careful craftsmanship. In Longford, this style of heart arrangement is often requested for funeral services in and around the local churches or crematoriums serving the Coventry area, as well as for memorials held in family homes near Longford Road. It resonates with those who want to convey love, respect, and gratitude in a single, powerful symbol-a heart that speaks for them when words feel too small.
ENDURING LOVE HEART
£95.00
A thoughtfully designed floral cross, ideal for a funeral or memorial service, rests against a bright white background in this photograph, allowing its colours and textures to stand out with clarity. The cross is completely covered with small white spray chrysanthemums, arranged so closely that they form a velvety, uninterrupted surface. Each flower head is delicate yet full, with tiny green centres that lend a subtle, living energy to the otherwise pure white design. Around the outer edge of the cross, a narrow lime-green ribbon traces every curve and corner, creating a defined frame that enhances the symmetry and guides the eye along the familiar Christian shape. At the heart of the cross, where the vertical and horizontal sections meet, sits a sumptuous nest of deep purple lisianthus. Their layered, ruffled petals open softly, the rich purple shade offering a striking contrast to the white and hinting at reverence, love, and the depth of loss. Interspersed among these central blooms are wisps of fresh greenery and a few understated filler flowers, which add airiness and a more natural, garden-like feel. From this central cluster, lisianthus stems trail gracefully down along the lower right arm, some blooms open, others still held in bud, creating a soft, downward flow. The lighting is even and gentle, casting a mild shadow that gives the cross dimension without distraction. This floral tribute feels especially suited to a quiet service in a Longford church or chapel, or as a tender graveside cross, hand-crafted by Longford Florist to bring a sense of peace, faith, and loving remembrance to a final farewell.
