Gates of Heaven

Gates of Heaven funeral tributes are a special way to say goodbye to a loved one, with flowers arranged in the shape of open gates to symbolise peace and a final resting place. At Anastasia Florists we hand-craft Gates of Heaven designs in our Aberdeen flower shop using fresh, seasonal blooms and a choice of colours to suit your wishes.

These tributes are often chosen from close family members such as children, grandchildren or siblings, and can be created in traditional white, soft pastels or stronger colours such as blues, reds and purples. 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 Gates of Heaven funeral tribute?

A Gates of Heaven tribute is a floral arrangement shaped like open gates, often placed on a base of flowers or foliage. It is a popular choice for families who would like a religious or symbolic tribute, representing the person passing peacefully through the gates of heaven. These designs are usually sent by close family members or very close friends.

What colours can I choose for a Gates of Heaven tribute?

You can choose from a wide range of colours, including classic white, soft pastels or bolder colours such as blues, reds, pinks and purples. Some families like to match the colours to the person’s favourite flowers or a particular theme, while others prefer a simple, traditional white design. Our florists will help you select a colour palette that feels right for your loved one.

Can the Gates of Heaven tribute be personalised?

Yes – we can personalise your Gates of Heaven tribute with ribbon sashes, names or short messages such as “Dad”, “Mum”, “Grandad” or “Nana”. In some designs it may also be possible to include small details or additional flowers in specific colours. If you have a particular idea in mind, please speak to us and we will advise what is possible.
