Elegant funeral and graveside decorations

As early as late summer, nurseries, flower shops and florists prepare to offer their customers elegant memorial floristry. For All Saints' Day and the period of remembrance, flower and plant professionals can create a touching atmosphere with their creations. We have put together 12 pieces, from classic to modern, from subtle to colourful, to inspire your work around the memorial days in November.

Beautiful cross with roses

The cross symbol will always have its place in mourning and grave design. This cross has an extraordinary effect due to the colour and structure of the wool felt "Crushed" in noble jade green. The felt picks up the hue of silverleaf and sage in the planting and the pink roses form an exciting contrast. A noble realisation of this classic symbol of faith. | Design by myflorist

Autumn basket arrangement

This memorial basket is perfectly in tune with the increasingly important trend of sustainability. A basket made of wicker, twigs and branches from natural trees combined with various succulents and sustainable sheep's wool in earthy colours. The basket can be used not only for funeral floristry, but also as an elegant autumn decoration for home and garden. | Design by Bettina von Hollen

Lily garland with grey wool

The lily is a classic European mourning flower and the dried lotus is also a familiar accompaniment in floral arrangements. The combination with the grey woollen cord wreath, the felt roses and the heart-shaped stone with a loving inscription adds a touch of originality. | Design by Florian Müller

A touching purple arrangement

Klaus Wagener combines this touching arrangement with a wreath, a symbol of eternity that florists traditionally make for memorials. The violet of the heather is continued in the wreath. The colour violet has an elegant and symbolic effect. In Western cultures it is also the colour of mourning and melancholy and is therefore often used in funeral floristry. | Design by Klaus Wagener

Wreath of nature

This wreath has a natural feel with its colours and classic elements such as pine cones, twigs, pine needles and ivy. An unconventional twist is provided by the use of a wool wreath instead of the traditional fir wreath, which gives the arrangement a certain lightness and elegance. | Design by Gabi Sturmlechner

Heather memorial wreath

Wreaths symbolise the close bond between the deceased and the bereaved, and florist Anja Ersing has done a very special job of achieving this. The wreath is characterised by the bright pink heather, which is the focal point of the arrangement. The arrangement is creative and yet suitable for everyday use, so it will be appreciated by customers. | Design by Anja Ersing

STYLIT is waterproof and colourfast
STYLIT's coloured wool cords and felts are dyed with sheep's wool dyed in accordance with the EU's REACH regulation to produce high quality yarns that are safe for health and the environment. The result is products that are waterproof, colourfast and lightfast, so they look good outdoors too.

Burial arrangement with a woodland touch

Like the traditional cross or heart, angels have a special place in burial memorials. This angel is set in a natural brown-green colour scheme. Pine cones, twigs, bark and lichen create a woodsy, earthy feel to the piece, which is mounted on light brown wool felt. | Design by Brigitte Heinrichs

Memorial decoration with succulents

In funeral floristry, purple symbolises spirituality and remembrance, while black represents deep sorrow and loss. In this perfectly formed piece, these colours convey an expression of respect, dignity and honour for the deceased and create an atmosphere of silence and remembrance. | Design by Bettina von Hollen.

Evergreen arrangement

Many customers look for graveside arrangements and baskets of evergreens during the All Saints period. Garden centres can create professional green burial arrangements with the right floral accessories. This basket, for example, features a felt ribbon and a modern stone element with a cross. | Design by myflorist

A basket for nature lovers

For graveside arrangements, the most popular products are ready-arranged and planted with matching decoration. Natural and sustainable arrangements are also increasingly popular. Plant baskets like this one are the perfect answer to these wishes. | Design by Annette Kamping

A colourful tribute to life

A colourful celebration of a vibrant life. This arrangement offers an opportunity to reflect the spirit of the deceased. Amy Hill's floral cross is a successful combination of classic symbolism and the courage to use colour. | Design by Amy Hill

Eternal Rose

It is on days like All Saints' Day that we remember our loved ones with emotion. With its subtle and classic colours, this grave arrangement is a stylish symbol of this remembrance. The graceful felt roses blend in with the elegant arrangement.  | Design by Florian Müller
