Stylish funeral and grave decorations

In late summer, nurseries, flower shops and florists are already preparing to offer their customers a stylish selection of funeral and mourning floristry. For All Saints' Day and the time of remembrance, flower and plant professionals can create a sensitive setting with their creations. We have put together 12 pieces, from classic to modern, from subtle to colourful, to inspire your work around the days of remembrance in November.
Elegant cross with roses

The cross symbol will always have its place in mourning and grave design. The colour and texture of the "Crushed" wool felt in elegant jade green gives this cross an extraordinary effect. The felt picks up on the colour tone of silver leaf and sage in the planting and the pink roses create an exciting contrast. A noble realisation of this classic symbol of faith. | Design by myflorist

Autumnal grave bowl

This grave bowl perfectly reflects the increasingly important trend of sustainability. A basket made of wickerwork, twigs and branches from trees naturally combined with various succulents and sustainable sheep's wool in earthy colours. The basket is not only suitable for use in funeral floristry, but also makes an elegant autumn decoration for the home and garden. | Design by Bettina von Hollen

Grave wreath with lilies and grey wool

The lily is a classic European funeral flower and the dried lotus is also a well-known companion in the field of funeral floristry. The combination with the wreath made of grey wool cord, felt roses and the heart-shaped stone with a loving memorial inscription ensures originality. | Design by Florian Müller

Burial bowl in violet

Klaus Wagener combines a grave bowl with a wreath, a symbol of eternity that is often used by florists to decorate graves. The violet colour of the heather is continued in the wreath. The colour violet has an elegant and mystical effect. In many cultures, it is also the colour of mourning and melancholy and is therefore often used in funeral floristry. | Design by Klaus Wagener

Natural grave wreath

The natural gravestone wreath stands out with its colours and classic elements such as cones, twigs, pine needles and ivy. An unconventional twist is created by using a woollen wreath instead of a traditional fir branch wreath, which gives the arrangement a certain lightness and elegance. | Design by Gabi Sturmlechner

Memorial wreath with heather

Wreaths symbolise the close connection between the deceased and the bereaved, which florist Anja Ersing has achieved particularly well with this wreath. The memorial wreath is characterised by the bright pink heather that takes centre stage. The arrangement has been creatively realised and yet is suitable for everyday use, making it very popular with customers. | Design by Anja Ersing

Waterproof and colourfast
Good to know:
STYLIT is waterproof and colourfast
Tip
For coloured STYLIT wool cords and felts, virgin sheep's wool is dyed in accordance with the EU REACH Regulation in order to produce high-quality yarns that are still respectful of health and the environment. The result is products that are waterproof, colourfast and lightfast and therefore also cut a fine figure outdoors.

Memorial jewellery with succulents

In funeral floristry, purple symbolises spirituality and remembrance, while black stands for deep mourning 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.

Planter with timeless green

Many customers are already looking for grave arrangements and planters with hardy plants in the run-up to All Saints' Day. Garden centres can professionally design these green grave plantings with matching floristry accessories. For example, with this bowl, which stands out thanks to its wrapping of felt ribbons and a modern stone element with a cross. | Design by myflorist

Natural planting bowl

Customers most often buy ready-arranged and planted products with matching decorations for grave design. Natural and sustainable compositions are also becoming increasingly popular, often without classic symbols of faith. Plant bowls like this one fulfil such customer wishes perfectly. | Design by Annette Kamping

Colourful memorial cross

Customers usually want set colours for funerals and grave decorations. But saying goodbye and remembering can also be done in style with colour and offers an opportunity to reflect the spirit of the deceased. Amy Hill shows a successful combination of classic symbolism and the courage to use colour with this floral cross. | Design by Amy Hill

Burial bowl with eternal roses

We remember our deceased loved ones with great emotion, especially on days like All Saints' Day. With subtle and elegant classic colours, this grave bowl is a stylish symbol of this remembrance. The graceful felt roses blend unaffectedly into the elegant arrangement and make it complete. | Design by Florian Müller

Grave arrangement with a forest touch

Like the classic cross or the heart, angels also have a fixed place when it comes to grave decorations. This angel is embedded in a natural, brown-green colour scheme. Cones, twigs, bark and lichen create an overall work of art that is connected to the forest and the earth and is bedded on light brown wool felt. | Design by Brigitte Heinrichs
