What funeral flowers are right for your loved one in Baldock

When planning a farewell, many families in Baldock find themselves torn between what’s expected and what feels personal. Should the funeral flowers be traditional and formal? Or is it okay to choose something a bit different?

The answer is: you can do both.

As a florist covering Baldock, Clothall, Bygrave and surrounding areas, I’ve helped create everything from classic white sprays for St Mary’s Church to colourful tribute wreaths shaped like tractors and teacups.

So how do you decide between traditional and modern funeral flowers in Baldock?

Traditional funeral flowers often include:

- White lilies, red roses, and carnations

- Large coffin sprays for funeral services at Baldock Cemetery or Austin’s Funeral Home

- Letter tributes (like "GRANDAD") placed by family

- Religious symbols such as crosses or angels

- Muted, formal colour palettes

Modern or personal tributes might be:

- Favourite flowers from their garden or wedding bouquet

- Floral shapes (like hearts, footballs, or hobbies)

- Wildflower-style arrangements with grasses and herbs

- Eco-friendly designs with biodegradable materials

Baldock families are choosing more personal tributes than ever.

One local family from Clothall asked for a bouquet inspired by their grandmother’s kitchen garden. Another chose a sunflower-themed spray because their grandad grew them every summer near the high street. These choices make the goodbye feel personal and sincere.

What matters is that it’s right for your loved one.

Whether your funeral service is in Baldock town centre, a countryside church, or an informal woodland burial, we’ll tailor every petal to the person you're remembering.

Our deliveries cover Baldock, Radwell, Wallington and surrounding areas — including Baldock Cemetery, Austin’s Funeral Directors and local homes.

There’s no right or wrong when it comes to flowers. Just love, memory, and meaning — in whatever shape or colour you choose.
