The photograph shows a beautifully composed floral cross, perfectly balanced between tradition and contemporary styling, as if it had just been prepared in a local Islington flower shop for a family service off Essex Road or in nearby Canonbury. The cross lies flat against a bright white background, its shape defined by hundreds of tiny white chrysanthemum blooms. Each chrysanthemum is fully open, its petals forming a soft, cushion-like surface that covers the entire structure so completely that the underlying frame cannot be seen. The white expanse feels calm and contemplative, ideal for a setting of remembrance. Encircling this cushion of petals is a narrow border of vivid green, probably a smooth satin ribbon or carefully placed greenery, that draws a clear line around the outer edge of the cross, making the Christian symbol instantly recognisable. The vertical arm features an inset stripe of lime green button chrysanthemums running down its centre, from just below the focal point almost to the base. These round, button-like blooms create a lively, textured panel of colour that stands out while still harmonising with the rest of the design. Across this stripe, fine pale green wires or threads have been gently arranged in a subtle criss-cross, forming a soft lattice that gives additional visual interest without overpowering the flowers. At the heart of the cross, where the arms intersect, a compact bouquet-style cluster of deep purple lisianthus sits in dignified contrast to the surrounding white. Their petals, slightly ruffled and velvety in tone, are interspersed with bright lime green mini chrysanthemums and backed by dark green fern fronds, which flare gently outward to add movement and depth. The result is a serene, respectful funeral tribute, well suited to expressing sympathy and enduring love for someone from the Islington community.

In this image, a striking floral cross is presented against a simple white backdrop, its design speaking quietly of faith, remembrance, and care. The entire surface of the cross is built from an abundance of white chrysanthemums, packed closely together so that their delicate, many-petalled faces form a smooth and gently textured blanket. This pure white covering extends carefully along both arms of the cross, creating a feeling of calm and serenity. Tracing the outer edges is a fine border of clear green, likely ribbon or continuous foliage, which provides a clean outline and gives the tribute a polished, professional finish, much like a carefully tailored garment. The vertical arm features a central strip of lime green button chrysanthemums, their small, rounded heads rising slightly above the white, creating a vivid path of colour that draws the eye downward. Over this green strip, the florist has delicately laid fine, pale green wires in a loose criss-cross pattern, introducing a subtle decorative element reminiscent of a gentle trellis. At the centre where the arms meet, a thoughtfully arranged cluster of deep purple lisianthus blooms forms the emotional focal point. Their rich, velvety petals, softly gathered, are interspersed with bright lime green mini chrysanthemums that echo the vertical stripe below. Dark green fern fronds spread lightly around the cluster, adding depth, contrast, and a touch of natural wildness to the otherwise structured form. This floral cross would feel at home in an Islington memorial setting, whether in a church near Angel or a quiet funeral chapel, offering families a dignified and beautiful way to say farewell.

    For my aunt's funeral, the flowers were tailor-made. I asked where they were ordered; I was told Handy Flowers.

    When the delivery team arrived at the funeral venue, we were in a fix and running behind on schedule. We laid the flowers on the grave. Forever thankful.

    The best thing about the bouquet was that it was fresh and vibrant. The flower arrangement on the casket was professionally arranged too. Thank you.
