A traditional funeral cross is beautifully interpreted in flowers in this photograph, with the entire figure laid out against a clean white background that enhances its purity and form. The base of the cross is made from dozens upon dozens of fresh white spray chrysanthemums, each bloom tight and neat, overlapping to give a dense, almost quilted texture. The flowers' tiny green centres are just visible, providing a faint mottling effect that prevents the white from feeling flat. Around the very edge of the cross, a slim ribbon of lime green has been carefully applied, wrapping the outline with a refreshing touch of colour. This border defines the shape in a way that recalls the clear edges of Islington's garden squares when viewed from above. At the point where the cross's arms intersect, a concentrated cluster of deep purple lisianthus stands out dramatically against the white background of chrysanthemums. The lisianthus blooms have layered, softly ruffled petals that curl slightly at the edges, giving each flower a rich, velvety appearance. Some sit fully open, while others are still partially closed buds, creating an interplay of shapes and sizes that adds depth. Threaded through this central grouping are slender, light green leaves and a few tiny supporting flowers, which give an airy, natural feel as if the flowers had just been gathered from a nearby New River Walk. From this core, additional lisianthus flowers and buds descend gently along the lower portion of the cross, their stems creating a relaxed, cascading line that softens the structure's strong geometry. The photograph is taken from a modest overhead angle, allowing the detail of each bloom to be seen while a delicate shadow beneath the cross lends a hint of realism. The overall impression is of a respectful, faith-filled tribute, suitable for commemorating a loved one at a church or crematorium service anywhere in Islington.

Captured against an immaculate white background, this floral arrangement presents a Christian cross rendered entirely in fresh flowers, a quiet symbol of faith and remembrance. The full shape of the cross is densely layered with white spray chrysanthemums, their small, rounded blooms pressed closely together to form a continuous, cushion-like surface. Seen from above, the chrysanthemums create a soft field of white broken only by the tiny green centres, which add a barely-there pattern and a trace of natural warmth. Along the outer edges, a narrow lime-green ribbon has been neatly applied, following every curve and corner of the cross with precision. This ribbon introduces a delicate band of colour that recalls the new shoots and leaves along paths in Clissold Park. At the very centre of the cross, a bold, rounded cluster of deep purple lisianthus provides the main focal point. These flowers possess layered, ruffled petals that give them a rich texture and depth of tone; the purple looks almost velvety in contrast to the crisp white beneath. Some lisianthus are open and full, others are buds still wrapped tightly, their shapes adding rhythm and variety to the composition. Touches of softly toned greenery and a few fine filler blooms are interlaced within this grouping, helping to blend the purple focal area into the white chrysanthemum base. From the central cluster, several lisianthus stems and buds extend downwards along one arm of the cross in a gentle diagonal cascade, bringing a sense of movement and flow. Photographed from an elevated angle, the cross casts a faint shadow that anchors it within the frame. The resulting tribute feels composed and heartfelt, the kind of floral cross a family in Islington might choose for a final farewell, conveying both reverence and quiet hope.

    It was such a relief to know that we could rely on a company to arrange and deliver the funeral flowers to the crematorium. We couldn't attend the funeral and contacted Handy Flowers for help. Our family appreciated your professional attitude.
