What is a Specialist Funeral Tribute?

Specialist Funeral tributes are bespoke designs created by our floral designers here in our Kettering flower shop. We use our artistic skills to create a personalised floral tribute based on your idea of how you would like to remember your loved one. This could be a hobby or pastime, quirky personality trait, favourite animal, special memory or reflect their career. This makes your specialist tribute truly unique and full of heartfelt emotions for you to say a personal farewell.

One of our favourite bespoke ideas for funeral flowers was this stunning Path of Life design, which captures the idea of your loved ones life in flowers. We can adapt the design to use flowers and colours to represent different stages.

 

What materials are used to create a Specialist Funeral Tribute?

Dean and the Magnolia team source the finest blooms and seasonal materials to use to create the design. This could include leaves and foliage, coloured ribbon, berries, twigs and feathers to create your vision. We can also customise the specialist floral tribute further if you would like certain colour schemes or a preferred flower.

Wherever possible we use eco-friendly materials for constructing the floral tribute. One of our most requested funeral tributes is our Woodland Posy , which incorporates the feel of nature beautifully using tons of seasonal foliage, moss and berries, country flowers.
