Funeral Crosses

Funeral crosses are a traditional religious tribute, with flowers arranged in the shape of a cross to symbolise faith, hope and remembrance. They are often chosen by close family members or from the church community as a meaningful way to say goodbye.

At Anastasia Florists we hand-craft funeral crosses in our Aberdeen flower shop using fresh, seasonal blooms in your chosen colours – from classic white and green to soft pastels or stronger, richer 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 cross tribute?

A funeral cross is a floral tribute created in the shape of a cross, symbolising faith, peace and eternal life. Crosses are often chosen by close family members, church friends or those who would like a more religious tribute. They can be used on their own or alongside other tributes such as coffin sprays, wreaths or hearts.

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

You can choose from traditional white and green, soft pastel shades or stronger colours such as reds, blues, yellows and purples. We can create based crosses with a neat flower base and coloured sprays, or more open, loose styles with mixed flowers throughout. Where possible, we can also include favourite flowers or colours that reflect the personality of your loved one.

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

Funeral crosses are commonly sent by close family, church members or friends who would like to include a religious symbol in their tribute. They are suitable for delivery to the funeral director, church, crematorium or family home. We provide free delivery of funeral crosses to local funeral directors in Aberdeen and will liaise with them to ensure your tribute is in place before the service.

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

We recommend ordering a few days before the funeral where possible, especially if you have particular flower or colour requests, but we will always try to help with shorter notice if we can. Funeral crosses can be personalised with ribbon sashes, names or short messages such as “Mum”, “Dad”, “Gran” or “With Love”, as well as a handwritten card message.
