Dominating the frame is a floral Ik Onkar, the Sikh affirmation "God is One," meticulously composed from thousands of tightly packed bright orange marigold heads. The marigolds are arranged so the distinctive Ek numeral, the crescent-like flourishes, and the small dot are clearly legible, their dense, velvety surfaces catching light and lending a soft sculptural relief to the symbol. At the lower centre of the orange formation lies a poised cluster of pristine white lilies-two or more open blossoms with silken petals and pale green-yellow stamens, accompanied by a scattering of smaller buds-providing a calm, luminous focal point against the exuberant orange field. Glossy green leaves, probably salal, tuck behind and between the blooms, and delicate sprays of tiny white filler flowers, like baby's breath, float through the design to add breath and fine detail. The arrangement sits on a stark white background with a subtle drop shadow beneath, suggesting a carefully mounted or freestanding tribute intended for close viewing. Sensory details emerge in the mind: the marigolds' warm, sunlit colour and cushioned texture contrasted with the lilies' cool smoothness and gentle perfume, an interplay that reads as both celebratory and contemplative. This floral Ik Onkar would serve as a dignified offering or festival adornment-suitable for Vaisakhi, Guru Nanak Jayanti, or devotional displays in local temples and community halls around Thamesmead, near Southmere Park and the riverside paths-speaking quietly of devotion, unity, and crafted reverence.

A reverent, hand-crafted floral Khanda sits against a clean white backdrop, its sacred geometry formed entirely from hundreds of tightly clustered bright orange marigold heads. The chakkar's roundness and the crossed kirpans behind it read clearly in the dense, velvety texture of the marigold petals, which catch the light and create a warm, almost glowing surface. At the very centre, where the kirpans intersect, a small, elegant cluster of pristine white lilies rises-at least two fully opened lilies with gently curved petals and pale green-yellow stamens, surrounded by a handful of smaller buds. Sprays of tiny white filler blooms, reminiscent of baby's breath, and glossy green foliage-likely salal or similar leaves-frame the lilies and soften the intense orange, adding both depth and a cooling green contrast. The whole emblem casts a subtle drop shadow on the white field, suggesting a freestanding display or a ceremonial offering laid flat for viewing. There is a tactile sense in the composition: the compact, fluffy surface of the marigolds against the smooth, satiny petals of the lilies, and a faint imagined scent - the warm, slightly earthy perfume of marigolds tempered by the fresher, heady scent of white lilies. This floral Khanda reads as a visual hymn of devotion and celebration, suitable for Vaisakhi observances, Gurpurab commemorations, or quiet tributes in a Gurdwara. As a local florist familiar with Thamesmead's community rhythms-near Southmere Lake and the walkways by the river-one can picture this piece greeting worshippers or marking a festival with warmth, colour, and respectful craftsmanship.

    The funeral flowers delivery was made in the evening, and the wake was the following day. The flowers were still fresh the following morning.

    I wanted flowers delivered to a wake but since I was out of town, I was not sure how best to do it. Then by chance, I found this website and they lifted the burden from my shoulders.

    The flower shop did not dictate what funeral flowers we could send; instead, I told them what kind of flowers would be the best for saying goodbye to a loved one.
