Funeral Flowers for your Loved Ones

We have always felt privileged to provide the funeral flowers for friends and family who have lost someone special. We believe that creating something unique is the perfect way of expressing love and gratitude for a life lived, and every one of our funeral arrangements is created with love and care. We have prepared some information below, as we are starting to receive requests for funeral arrangements from the wider Lincolnshire community.  Funeral directors are also recommending us to their clients.  If you would like to find out more about how we can create and deliver the perfect flowers for the funeral service you are arranging, then please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Casket Sprays and Funeral Pillows

We understand that flowers can be a way of expressing emotions that can be difficult to put into words, and each arrangement should be a fitting tribute to a life remembered. When creating flowers for funeral caskets, known as sprays, and other arrangements such as pillows (floral letters spelling out the name of a loved one), we take great care to listen to families and guide them in choosing varieties and styles of flowers that best reflect the personality and wishes of the person they have lost.


Floral Tributes and Wreaths for a Funeral

For many families, flowers or wreaths from extended family members and friends can also bring comfort. Sending tributes to the family home can be a powerful message of love and support during a time of loss, whilst wreaths are usually left at the funeral site. We offer a wide choice of traditional and contemporary tributes, including wreaths, crosses, hearts, and bespoke floral arrangements designed to symbolise cherished memories. If you would like to send flowers for a funeral, please contact us to discuss the options available.

How We Work

We recognise the importance of timing and presentation in preparing and delivering flowers for any funeral. Every arrangement is created personally by our team and delivered to the agreed location at the exact time requested. We liaise directly with funeral directors and venues to ensure the process is seamless. This allows families to focus entirely on honouring their loved one, while we take care of the details. We believe flowers should not only look beautiful but feel meaningful. That’s why we source the freshest seasonal flowers, arrange them with precision and care, and ensure they arrive in perfect condition on the day of the service.

At John Cullen Gardens, our promise is to create bespoke funeral flowers that truly celebrate the life of the person remembered. Every tribute is designed with compassion, dignity, and respect.

Our main service area is Lincolnshire, but depending on the arrangement, we may be able to deliver further afield. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.


Can friends and family order flowers directly from you?

Yes. Many families find comfort when relatives and friends send tributes through us. We can deliver flowers to the family home before the funeral or directly to the service.



What is the best tribute to choose?

This depends on your relationship with the person and their family. Casket sprays are often provided by immediate family, while wreaths, crosses, or smaller tributes are more common for extended family and friends. We are happy to guide you in choosing the most appropriate arrangement.

What are funeral tributes?

Funeral tributes are floral arrangements created to honour someone who has passed away. They can include casket sprays, wreaths, funeral crosses, hearts, pillows (lettering) and bespoke tributes that represent something personal about the individual.



What makes a tribute ‘bespoke’?

A bespoke tribute is designed specifically for the family, often reflecting favourite flowers, colours, hobbies or symbols of meaning. Our bespoke funeral tributes are tailored to help families celebrate the lives of their loved ones in a personal and memorable way.



Do you provide funeral crosses?

Yes. A funeral cross is a traditional Christian tribute, often chosen to reflect faith and remembrance. We can design these with seasonal or favourite flowers to make them unique.



Can flowers really ‘speak’ at a funeral?

Absolutely. We believe flowers speak when words fall short. They express emotions, memories and love in a way that language cannot, which is why many families choose floral tributes as part of the farewell.


Do you create arrangements that celebrate the life of a loved one?

Yes. Our bespoke funeral tributes are created not only to mourn but to celebrate the lives lived. We can design arrangements that reflect joyful memories, personalities and the legacy someone leaves behind. 



What is the difference between standard and bespoke flowers?

Standard tributes, typically offered by florists, follow traditional designs, while bespoke flowers are completely personalised. For example, a bespoke tribute could include a loved one’s favourite garden flowers, colours, or even a floral design shaped around a meaningful object, like a heart or initial. 



Can you make tributes for family homes as well as funeral services?

Yes. Funeral tributes can be sent to the family home as a sign of support, or directly to the service itself. We will guide you on the most appropriate option based on your relationship to the family.
