Funeral Tributes

There comes a stage in all our lives when it's natural to think about when we won't be here. We wonder about loved ones and what to leave them. There are some things, however, that we wouldn't wish to leave them. These include the burden of high funeral costs and the worry of deciding on the funeral arrangements.

The death of a friend or family member is always likely to be a hard time for those involved, but it should be remembered that we are extremely well versed in the emotions and trauma involved in cases of bereavement. Rest assured; we will deal with creating and delivering your funeral flowers in an empathetic and professional manner. We pride ourselves on the effort and emotion which is put into creating sympathy flowers and funeral tributes and it is something of which we are extremely proud of.

Orders for funeral tributes must be received at least three working days in advance of the funeral date (unless shown otherwise). However orders for sheafs and small sprays can be placed no later than one working day in advance of the funeral date.

If you need advice or have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Whilst you can e-mail us here. We feel the very personal nature of funeral work is often better discussed in person. You can call us on 01226 749797.

Below are a few tips to help you when selecting funeral tributes.

Check whether the family of the deceased have requested donations to a charity, rather than flowers.

Take the deceased's religious beliefs into account. Flowers are appropriate for most religions, but it is best to check with your florist or the family.

There are a wide range of floral tributes such as sprays, baskets, wreaths, hearts, cushions, pillows or posies. Choose a design and colour scheme that reflects the personality of the deceased or something you find appropriate, we can advise you according to your budget.

Generally, arrangements for the coffin and name tributes are given by the family of the deceased. Such tributes are often arranged to reflect the personality or hobby of the deceased.

When ordering sympathy tributes you need to give Tranplicity details of the funeral. This includes the name of the deceased, the address of where the tribute should be delivered (funeral director/family home) and the time of delivery. We need to deliver the tribute well before the funeral procession leaves for the funeral ceremony.

Plan what you want to say on the sympathy card, whether it be a message or a poem. We will ask you for this message when you place your order so they can attach it to the sympathy tribute, you can collect a card from us and write this yourself if you want more time to think about the message. Don't forget to drop the card back to us before the day of the funeral so they can attach it to the tribute. Tranplicity do have a range of poems and verses that can be seen on request.

Remember some flowers may be seasonal or unavailable so, where necessary, we may have to make substitutions.

Some funeral homes have rules concerning some kinds of arrangements. If your tribute is outside the norm, consider contacting the funeral home to check your tribute is appropriate.

Sending tributes from a group (i.e. work, sports team or social group) is perfectly acceptable. One large arrangement can have a greater effect than several small ones.
Consider writing the group's name on the card rather than a long list of names.
