Flowers remain a meaningful way to pay tribute, though many families now prefer donations to a chosen charity. Both choices are valid.

Common tribute styles

  • Coffin spray or sheaf — often arranged by the family or funeral director
  • Wreaths and tied sheaves from friends and colleagues
  • Posies that can later be taken home or placed at a graveside
