Wreath
A circular arrangement of flowers symbolising eternal life and continuity. Wreaths are one of the most traditional and widely chosen funeral tributes in the UK.
A funeral wreath is a circular floral arrangement that has been used for centuries to honour the deceased. The unbroken circle of the wreath carries deep symbolism, representing eternal life, continuity, and the everlasting nature of love and memory. In Cheltenham and across Gloucestershire, wreaths remain one of the most popular choices for funeral tributes.
Traditional funeral wreaths are typically constructed on a mossed frame, with flowers and foliage carefully arranged to create a full, rounded display. They can be crafted in a range of sizes, from modest 12-inch designs to grand 24-inch tributes. Common flowers used include chrysanthemums for a classic, full look, or open designs featuring roses, lilies, and seasonal blooms for a more contemporary feel.
Wreaths are appropriate to send from friends, family members, colleagues, or organisations. They are usually displayed on an easel stand at the funeral service or placed on the grave. When ordering a funeral wreath in Cheltenham, you can choose from traditional all-white arrangements for a timeless tribute, pastel shades for a gentle expression of sympathy, or vibrant colours to celebrate a life well lived.
At Nat's Funeral Flowers, our wreaths are hand-crafted with fresh seasonal flowers and delivered directly to funeral homes across Gloucestershire. Each wreath includes a complimentary card for your personal message of condolence.
