A beautifully balanced floral cross is presented in the photograph, crafted with the kind of careful attention to detail you might expect from a long-established Mile End florist who understands local funeral traditions. The main structure of the cross is densely padded with pure white chrysanthemums, their small, rounded petals tightly clustered to form a continuous, cushion-like surface. This sea of white creates a reassuring sense of calm and order, the texture soft and inviting, almost like freshly fallen snow. Tracing the entire outline, a vivid green border - likely a satin ribbon or neatly arranged foliage - provides a clean, defined edge. This green frame subtly echoes the trees and lawns around Mile End Park, grounding the design in nature and gently emphasising the shape of the Christian cross. At the exact intersection of the arms, a striking focal arrangement of deep purple lisianthus blossoms and lime green button chrysanthemums breaks the expanse of white. The lisianthus, with their gently curling petals and rich jewel tone, add depth and emotion, while the lime green blooms bring a fresh, almost hopeful brightness. Behind them, fine, arching fronds of dark green fern emerge, introducing a feathery texture and a feeling of quiet growth. Running down the centre of the vertical arm, a band of lime green chrysanthemums is inlaid among the white, and over this section, delicate, pale wires form subtle criss-cross or diamond patterns. These fine lines catch the light without overwhelming the flowers, adding a touch of contemporary elegance. The overall arrangement feels contemplative and respectful, a fitting floral cross for a farewell service in Mile End, whether placed at the front of a chapel, alongside a coffin, or by a graveside as a final, loving gesture.

The photograph depicts a dignified floral cross tribute, carefully arranged for a funeral or memorial, and set against a simple white backdrop so every detail stands out. The cross itself is entirely covered with a dense layer of white chrysanthemums, each bloom closely nestled against the next to form a smooth, continuous blanket of petals that conveys purity, remembrance, and stillness. Encircling the whole shape is a narrow, vivid green edging, created either from ribbon or neatly folded foliage, which crisply defines the arms and stem of the cross and introduces a cool freshness reminiscent of the green spaces around Mile End and nearby Regent's Canal. At the central junction of the cross, a vivid cluster of deep purple lisianthus becomes the main point of focus. Their velvety, ruffled petals and rich colour are intertwined with small, lime green button chrysanthemums that lift the palette and bring a touch of gentle brightness. Behind and around this central posy, sprays of dark green fern fronds add depth, their feathery shapes softening the structured outline. Down the centre of the vertical arm, a band of lime green flowers runs through the white base, lightly overlaid with thin, pale decorative wires arranged in relaxed, crossing lines that create a delicate, almost net-like effect. The composition feels both traditional and slightly modern, perfectly suited for families in Mile End looking for a respectful Christian symbol that also carries a whisper of colour and hope. It is a floral cross that would sit with quiet grace at a service, wake, or cremation, offering comfort and a final message of peace.

    For my aunt's funeral, the flowers were tailor-made. I asked where they were ordered; I was told Handy Flowers.

    When the delivery team arrived at the funeral venue, we were in a fix and running behind on schedule. We laid the flowers on the grave. Forever thankful.

    The best thing about the bouquet was that it was fresh and vibrant. The flower arrangement on the casket was professionally arranged too. Thank you.
