At a difficult time, flowers can bring quiet comfort and offer a personal way to say goodbye.
At Issy and Bella, I create natural, seasonal farewell flowers that reflect the life, personality, and memories of the person you are remembering. Each tribute is thoughtfully designed using beautiful flowers and foliage, creating arrangements that feel personal, meaningful, and full of care.
I understand how overwhelming this time can feel, and I’m here to gently guide you in choosing flowers that feel right for your loved one and their service.
Selecting funeral flowers can feel overwhelming, especially during such an emotional time. Some families choose flowers that reflect favourite colours or blooms, while others prefer something simple and natural.
Whether you already have a clear idea or would like gentle guidance, I will help you create something thoughtful that truly reflects your loved one.
This is the main arrangement that sits on top of the coffin – usually chosen by close family. I can make it as full and flowing or as simple and elegant as you’d like, using seasonal flowers and colours that feel right for your loved one.
A round wreath is a classic tribute – the circular shape is often seen as a symbol of everlasting love. I make these using seasonal flowers and foliage, and they can be as soft, colourful, or natural as you like. They're suitable from family, friends, or work colleagues and can be placed at the service or graveside.
A heart-shaped wreath is a lovely way to express love and affection – it’s a gentle, personal tribute that can feel especially meaningful. I create these using seasonal flowers in colours and textures that reflect the person you’re remembering, whether that’s soft and delicate or full of colour and life.
A hand-tied sheaf is a natural, bouquet-style tribute that’s perfect for a more informal or eco-friendly option. It’s made with seasonal flowers and foliage, arranged as if freshly gathered from the garden. I tie it simply with raffia or ribbon, which can be placed at the service or left at the graveside.
I offer two styles of garlands to gently decorate wicker or willow coffins. One is made entirely of beautiful, natural foliage – simple, elegant, and very fitting for a softer, more understated look.
The other includes both foliage and seasonal flowers, adding colour and a more garden-inspired feel. Both are made to drape along the length or edge of the coffin and can be designed to suit your style, colours, or the flowers your loved one would have liked.
I also create formal letter tributes – often spelling out names like MUM, DAD, or a nickname that meant something special. These are traditionally based in white chrysanthemums with sprays of colourful seasonal flowers added for a more personal touch.
They’re a classic choice and can be made in a range of colours and combinations to suit your loved one and what feels right for the day.
The designs shown above are just a small selection of what’s possible. I also create crosses, pillows, hearts, animals and other shapes that hold personal meaning.
If you have something special in mind, I’m always happy to help you create a tribute that reflects your loved one.
