Being an 86 years old totally incompetent AI user, I let it be known to IFLORA that I was giving up my attempt to buy flowers for my cousin’s funeral. Immediately I received a message from this intelligent & gracious lady guiding me step by step, very patiently through the whole process, many thanks! I was delighted!

Was totally let down by another company Sendfuneralflowers. The wreath was a no show. Terrible! However Rachel from this company was absolutely outstanding. She was reassuring, helpful and very understanding as to what I needed to send. Perfect service. I shall use her again! How she did it with no time to spare before the funeral started, I do not know. Can't thank her enough.

What are unusual funeral flowers?

Unusual funeral flowers simply means choosing something beyond the traditional white lily or rose. They might be a favourite flower the person loved, a colour that captures their spirit, or a shaped tribute that reflects a passion — a guitar, a football, a butterfly.

When are they a good choice?

Any funeral can include non-traditional flowers. They’re especially meaningful when the person had a vibrant personality, a love of the outdoors, or a specific hobby. Some families use them alongside traditional wreaths; others choose them as the main tribute.

Traditional Funeral Flowers vs Unique Funeral Flowers

Traditional funeral flowers often focus on classic designs using white lilies, roses, chrysanthemums and carnations arranged in wreaths, sprays or crosses. These timeless tributes remain a beautiful expression of sympathy and respect.

Unique funeral flowers offer a little more flexibility while maintaining the same level of dignity. Instead of following only traditional designs, they allow families to celebrate individuality through colour, flower choice and personalised styling.

Rather than replacing tradition, many families choose a balance of both—combining elegant classic flowers with more personal design elements to create a tribute that feels truly meaningful.

What types does OFC offer?

Our unusual funeral flower collection includes sunflowers, orchids, gerberas, delphiniums, anemones, and protea — flowers chosen for their meaning as much as their beauty. We also offer wildflower arrangements, shaped tributes, and colourful calla lilies in burgundy, purple, and orange.

Why choose OFC?

Every arrangement is made fresh to order by our florists. We offer next-day UK delivery via Royal Mail, and each tribute is carefully packaged for its journey. If you’re unsure which flowers to choose, our team is happy to help.

How to choose unique funeral flowers

The right flowers tell the story of a life. Here are four things to consider when choosing a non-traditional funeral tribute.

 

Think about their personality

Were they outdoorsy, colourful, creative? Let that guide your flower choice. Sunflowers for a sunny spirit; wildflowers for a free-spirited soul; orchids for someone quietly elegant.
 

 

Consider their favourite colour

Colour carries meaning. Purple and lilac suggest dignity and grace; orange and yellow bring warmth and energy; deep burgundy feels rich and intimate. You don’t have to stay with white.

 

Choose a shape or style

A shaped tribute — heart, butterfly, guitar — can reflect a passion or hobby. These work well as a standout piece alongside a traditional wreath, or as the main tribute on their own.

 

Ask yourself: what would they have loved?

Ultimately, the most meaningful tribute is one the person themselves would have chosen. If in doubt, our florists are here to help you find the right arrangement.

Most Ask FAQS

Unusual funeral flowers are arrangements that go beyond traditional white lilies and roses. They might include sunflowers, orchids, wildflowers, or shaped tributes that reflect the person's personality, hobbies, or favourite colours. They're a way to honour someone in a more personal and individual way.

Less traditional choices include sunflowers, gerberas, protea, anemones, delphiniums, and colourful orchids. Wildflower arrangements and shaped tributes (such as hearts, butterflies, or stars) are also considered non-traditional funeral flowers that carry real personal meaning.

Any funeral can include non-traditional flowers. They're particularly fitting when the person had a vivid personality, strong interests, or when the family wants to celebrate their life in a joyful way. Unusual flowers can be used as the main tribute or alongside a traditional wreath.

Unlike traditional all-white arrangements, unusual funeral flowers can be any colour — sunflower yellow, soft lavender, deep burgundy, coral orange, or a mix of seasonal colours. The colour often reflects the person's personality or a flower they particularly loved.

Think about what reflected the person — their personality, favourite colour, or a hobby they loved. A shaped tribute (like a guitar or butterfly) can speak to a passion, while a wildflower arrangement suits someone who loved the outdoors. Our florists can also help you decide if you're unsure.
