Funeral Cushions and Pillows

Funeral cushions and pillows are traditional floral tributes designed in soft square or rectangular shapes, symbolising rest, comfort and peace. Cushions are usually square, while pillows are more rectangular, and both are often chosen by close family members as a special way to say goodbye.

At Anastasia Florists we hand-craft funeral cushions and pillows in our Aberdeen flower shop using fresh, seasonal blooms in your chosen colours – from classic white and green to soft pastels or 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 the difference between a funeral cushion and a pillow?

A funeral cushion is a square floral tribute, while a funeral pillow is a more rectangular shape. Both designs symbolise rest and comfort, and are often chosen by close family members as a gentle, traditional tribute. They can be used on their own or alongside other tributes such as hearts, wreaths or coffin sprays.

What colours and styles can I choose for cushions and pillows?

You can choose from classic white and green, soft pastel shades or stronger colours such as reds, blues, yellows and purples. We can create based designs 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 funeral cushions and pillows and where are they delivered?

Funeral cushions and pillows are often sent by close family, children, grandchildren or very close friends, but they are suitable from anyone who would like to send a traditional, comforting tribute. We provide free delivery to local funeral directors, churches, crematoriums and family homes across Aberdeen, and work with funeral directors to ensure your tribute is in place before the service.

How much notice do you need and can these tributes be personalised?

We recommend ordering a few days before the funeral where possible, especially if you have specific flower or colour requests, but we will always try to help with shorter notice if we can. Cushions and pillows 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.
