Presented on a clean white background from a slightly elevated viewpoint, this handcrafted Celtic cross is a measured study in texture, tone and symbolism. The main mass of the cross - its arms and extended lower shaft - is built from tightly grouped white spray chrysanthemums, their many small petals creating a soft, velvety surface that reads as solemn and pure. Threaded through this white expanse are striking bands of bright lime-green button chrysanthemums; these small, globe-like blooms outline the circular feature at the cross's centre and appear in alternating sections along the lateral arms, producing a plush checkerboard that references traditional knotwork and gives the piece depth. Anchoring the design, three vivid orange-yellow roses form a concentrated central cluster where the arms meet; their warm, golden petals provide an emotional focal point that feels like a heart within the cross. Subtle sprigs of dark green fern or foliage cradle these roses, offering shadow, contrast and a reminder of the natural world. The arrangement is lit softly to emphasize petal detail and the three-dimensional form, and would carry a gentle rose scent layered over the fresh green of the chrysanthemums. As a funeral or memorial tribute, particularly for those with Irish roots, its palette and form are quietly evocative - appropriate for services in Longford town, in the Market Square area, or in chapels near St. Mel's Cathedral. Meticulous in construction, this cross communicates respect, cultural connection and heartfelt remembrance with restrained elegance.

Viewed from a gentle overhead angle against a bright white backdrop, this three-dimensional Celtic cross is lovingly fashioned from fresh flowers, its form both pure and sculptural. The arms and elongated shaft are densely packed with soft, snow-white spray chrysanthemums whose fine petals create a plush, cloud-like texture that reads as quiet dignity and solace. Woven into that white field are vivid apple-green button chrysanthemums - small, rounded cushions of lime colour - which trace the signature circular ring where the cross's arms meet and appear in alternating blocks along the horizontal arms, giving the piece a tactile rhythm and the intricate feel of traditional Celtic knotwork. Nestled at the very centre, where the arms intersect, three fully opened orange-yellow roses glow like a small sunrise; their warm, honeyed scent would be the first to reach the nose and their layered petals draw the eye inward. A few deep green fern sprigs cradle the roses, adding a soft, botanical frame and a cool contrast to the warm centre. The lighting is soft and even, revealing the crisp contours of each bloom and the careful handwork involved in securing every stem. As a sympathy or funeral tribute, this arrangement quietly honours Irish identity through its white, green and orange palette, gently suggesting the colours associated with Ireland and Celtic faith. A florist in Longford town might place this near St. Mel's Cathedral or deliver it to a service by the River Camlin; its craftsmanship and serene presence make it a thoughtful expression of remembrance for a family in Longford or the surrounding communities. The photograph captures a graceful sympathy cross made entirely from fresh flowers, its colours and textures carefully chosen to provide solace during a farewell service in Longford. The base of the cross is densely packed with crisp white chrysanthemums, their rounded, layered petals forming a thick, soft-looking blanket that defines the cross's shape with clarity. The blooms sit so closely together that the underlying frame disappears, leaving only a smooth, snowy surface from the top of the cross down to the lower tip and out along each arm. Resting on this sea of white, domed clusters of lime-green button chrysanthemums are positioned along the outline and arms, adding structure and a vibrant contrast. Their compact, bobbled centres resemble tiny cushions of moss, lending a fresh, garden-like feel. At the centre where the arms meet, three roses in shades of warm orange and yellow-orange are gathered tightly, their velvety petals curling outwards in gentle spirals. These roses glow against the white and green, much like a small flame of remembrance. They are framed with sprays of green filler and fine, fern-like foliage that fan softly around them, adding depth and a hint of woodland texture. The overall mood is calm, respectful, and quietly reassuring, ideal for placing beside a coffin or at the front of a chapel serving the Longford area. Designed with an eye for detail by Longford Florist, the piece speaks of care, remembrance, and lasting affection, offering grieving families a beautiful, floral symbol of peace.
