Help with a farewell in Derby
A favourite colour, a much-loved sport or a simple gathering of flowers can be the starting point for a meaningful tribute. If you are arranging flowers for a funeral in Derby, we can help you choose a design and work through the delivery details with you.
Our florists prepare the flowers at our Stapleford base. Derby is part of our own-van delivery area, along with nearby places including Spondon, Oakwood, Breadsall, Borrowash and Ockbrook. Give us the full destination and funeral time when you enquire so we can confirm arrangements for the day.
Start with the funeral arrangements
Before choosing flowers, check any wishes the family has shared. They may have requested a particular colour, a single family tribute or donations. If several relatives are ordering together, deciding on the main arrangement first can help everyone choose something that works alongside it.
We prefer to deliver to the funeral director. We also deliver to homes and service venues, so please confirm where the flowers should be received rather than assuming it is the place where the service takes place. Always give us the funeral date and time: we will deliver up to two hours before the funeral time.
When ordering, include the name of the person who has died, the full delivery address and any instructions from the funeral director. If you are organising this from outside Derby, you can discuss the details with our team by phone or WhatsApp.
Find the right style of tribute
From a small posy to a casket spray, explore the designs available to order and speak to us about any personal touches.
- Casket sprays
- Funeral wreaths
- Hearts & cushions
- Posies & baskets
- Sprays & sheaves
- Letter & special tributes
Choosing flowers and a personal design
Casket sprays are often chosen as the main floral tribute. Wreaths, hearts, cushions and posies offer other ways to express affection, while a sheaf has a more open, gathered shape. There is no need to choose something elaborate if a simpler design feels more appropriate.
Letter tributes can spell a family relationship, with flowers and colours used to add a personal detail. For a bespoke piece, tell us about the interest or memory you would like to reflect. Our racing car and cricket bat designs below are examples of what our team has made.
Bespoke tributes range from £85 to £500, depending on the design and size. We will discuss what can be made within your budget and confirm the price before you order. Specific flowers and colours depend on availability, so please talk through any essential details with us.

When to place your order
Please usually allow at least two days’ notice for funeral flowers. If you have less time, call 0115 973 7888 or contact us on 
WhatsApp. We can usually accommodate shorter time frames, but speak to the team to confirm availability before placing your order.
Our standard same-day flower delivery offer does not apply to funeral flowers. The tribute design, preparation time and funeral arrangements need to be confirmed together.
Sending comfort to a family at home
A funeral tribute and a sympathy gift serve different purposes. If you want to let someone know you are thinking of them at home, browse our sympathy flowers. For birthdays, thank-you gifts and other occasions, our Derby flower delivery guide explains the local service.
Talk through your tribute with us
You do not need to have every detail decided before you get in touch. Tell us the funeral date, where the flowers need to go and any ideas you have; we will help you take the next step.
Our team is available Monday–Saturday, 07:30–16:00.
