21” Based Heart Tribute – Funeral Floral Arrangement
A 21-inch based heart tribute is a deeply personal and emotional floral display, traditionally used to express love, loss, and remembrance for someone held dearly. With its distinctive heart shape, it symbolises everlasting love, grief, and connection, making it one of the most moving tribute choices for a funeral or memorial.
Size & Shape:
- Dimensions: Approximately 21 inches (53 cm) across — a large arrangement, ideal for prominent display beside the coffin or at the graveside.
- Shape: A classic heart, with a softly rounded top and pointed base. Designed to be viewed from the front.
Based Design:
- The base is covered in tightly packed white double chrysanthemums, which provide a clean, soft, uniform canvas.
- Chrysanthemums are often chosen for their longevity and meaning — representing honour, peace, and eternal life.
- A pleated ribbon edging (in a colour of choice) frames the heart and enhances its shape — common colours include red, pink, gold, or a soft pastel.
Top Spray / Floral Cluster:
- A diagonal spray (usually placed across the upper left or centre) adds colour, texture, and personal significance.
- Common flowers in the spray include:
- Roses – for love, grief, and admiration
- Carnations – for remembrance and affection
- Lilies – symbolising purity and peace
- Lisianthus, freesias, or orchids – for softness and elegance
- Colours can be tailored:
- Red for deep love
- Pink for admiration and femininity
- Blue or purple for peace and dignity
- Yellow for friendship and remembrance
Foliage:
- Lush greenery, such as leatherleaf fern, ivy, eucalyptus, or salal, is worked into and around the spray.
- Foliage provides natural contrast to the white base and adds movement and depth to the design.

Optional Personalisation:
