Funeral Baskets

Funeral flower baskets are a tasteful, versatile tribute arranged in a handled basket so they are easy to display and move. They are suitable from family, friends, colleagues or neighbours, and can be sent to the funeral, crematorium, church or family home as a lasting expression of sympathy and respect.

At Anastasia Florists we hand-craft funeral baskets in our Aberdeen flower shop using fresh, seasonal blooms in your chosen colours – from soft, gentle pastels to classic whites and greens or brighter tones. All our funeral flowers include free delivery to local funeral directors in Aberdeen, churches, crematoriums or to the family home if preferred.

What is a funeral flower basket?

A funeral flower basket is a floral arrangement designed in a basket, usually with a handle, so it can be easily carried and placed wherever it is needed. The flowers are arranged to face one or more directions depending on the design. Basket tributes are suitable for the funeral service, crematorium, church or as a sympathy gift for the family home.

What colours and styles can I choose for a funeral basket?

You can choose from soft, calming colours such as whites, creams, pinks and lilacs, or opt for brighter shades like yellows, reds, blues and purples if that feels more fitting. Our florists can create traditional, modern or more natural styles using seasonal flowers and foliage, and where possible we can include favourite flowers or colours to reflect the person being remembered.

Who usually sends a funeral basket and where is it delivered?

Funeral baskets can be sent by close family, extended family, friends, colleagues or neighbours. They are suitable for delivery to the funeral director, church, crematorium or family home. We offer free delivery of funeral flower baskets to local funeral directors in Aberdeen and will liaise with them to ensure your tribute arrives in good time before the service.

How much notice do you need and can a funeral basket be personalised?

We recommend ordering a few days before the funeral where possible, especially if you have particular flower or colour requests. However, we will always try to help with shorter notice if we can. Funeral baskets can be personalised with a handwritten message card and, in some cases, ribbon details or small name sashes.
