Gerbera
Bright, cheerful flowers that represent innocence and purity. Gerberas are often chosen for celebrations of life and less formal funeral tributes.
Gerberas are bold, cheerful flowers that bring warmth and vibrancy to funeral tributes. With their large, daisy-like blooms and wide range of vivid colours, gerberas represent innocence, purity, and cheerfulness. They are increasingly chosen for funeral flowers in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire, particularly for celebrations of life and tributes that reflect a joyful personality.
Available in a rainbow of colours — from sunshine yellow and hot pink to deep orange and classic white — gerberas allow for highly personalised funeral arrangements. Families often choose gerberas in the deceased's favourite colour, creating a tribute that truly reflects who they were. Their bold, open faces and clean lines give arrangements a modern, uplifting feel.
Gerberas work particularly well in hand-tied sheaves, sprays, and basket arrangements where their individual blooms can be appreciated. They also add beautiful pops of colour to larger designs like casket sprays or wreaths. For children's funerals or celebrations of life, gerberas can create a warm, colourful tribute that feels more uplifting than traditional arrangements.
As mini gerberas and standard gerberas are both available, our Cheltenham florists can scale the blooms to suit any arrangement size. We select only the freshest gerberas for our tributes, ensuring each flower is perfectly formed and vibrant when it arrives at the funeral venue.
