The photograph presents a large, cross-shaped funeral tribute laid against a bright white background, every detail of its structure and textures clearly visible. The body of the cross is fully packed with white spray chrysanthemums, the small blooms carefully placed so that their open faces touch and overlap, creating an unbroken expanse of soft white petals that looks gentle and serene. Encircling the outer edge of the cross is a royal blue satin ribbon, its surface smooth and slightly glossy, ruffled along the border to produce a delicate, decorative frill that frames the floral work. At the central junction of the cross, where the arms meet, sits a prominent cluster of vivid blue flowers: large, ruffled blue carnations or dyed chrysanthemum heads form the heart of the spray, while more slender, upright blossoms reminiscent of blue delphiniums or orchids rise above them, introducing height and fine detail. Nestled among these blue tones, rich green fern fronds and other leaves spread out, some arching gently, others lying closer to the petals, giving the arrangement texture and a sense of natural growth. Along the vertical beam of the cross, toward the lower portion, the word "DAD" is spelled out with great care using folded and looped segments of the same royal blue ribbon, each letter clearly defined against the cushion of chrysanthemums and lending a deeply personal focus to the tribute. The lighting is even and white, creating only a soft shadow underneath, so that the purity of the white flowers and the depth of the blue ribbon and blooms are emphasised. This floral cross feels like a thoughtful choice for a St Mary Cray family wishing to honour a father at a local church service, crematorium, or cemetery, its classic design expressing love, faith, and quiet remembrance.

A carefully designed floral cross for a father's funeral is shown lying on a seamless white background, the simplicity of the setting highlighting the care taken in the arrangement. The cross is blanketed with tightly massed white spray chrysanthemums, each small flower fresh and fully open, creating a soft, cushion-like texture that suggests comfort and tranquillity. Tracing every edge is a royal blue satin ribbon, gently pleated and slightly frilled, whose smooth, reflective surface outlines the cross with a dignified, almost ceremonial frame and contrasts beautifully with the matte white petals. At the centre, where the arms of the cross intersect, a bold cluster of royal blue flowers provides a vivid focal point: full-petalled blue carnations and slender, upright florets reminiscent of delphiniums or orchids are gathered together, their cool blue tones deepened by the simple, bright lighting. Around and beneath them, dark green fern fronds and glossy leaves spread out, adding texture, depth, and a hint of natural woodland freshness. On the vertical arm of the cross, the word "DAD" has been lovingly formed from the same blue ribbon, each letter shaped from careful loops and folds and gently pressed into the chrysanthemum base, turning the floral piece into a clearly personal tribute. A faint shadow beneath the cross hints at its three-dimensional weight without disturbing the stillness of the image. Suitable for a funeral service, wake, or burial in and around St Mary Cray, this cross would offer family and friends a traditional, heartfelt floral symbol of farewell, expressing respect and enduring love for a much-missed father.
