Funeral Sheaves

A funeral sheave is a recumbent bouquet usually placed next to the coffin, featuring no water or floral foam, and it's traditionally white or colorful.

Good question – prices can vary depending on the size of the bouquet and the type of flowers you choose. But as a ballpark, a funeral bouquet with a ribbon typically starts around €30–€50. Larger or more elaborate arrangements may cost more, especially if you add personal text to the ribbon.

There’s no one-size-fits-all, but some flowers are especially popular for their symbolism and gentle beauty. Think lilies (purity and peace), roses (love and respect), chrysanthemums (remembrance), and carnations (a long-lasting classic). Soft colours like white, cream, lilac and soft pink tend to work best. In our condolence flower guide you can read more about condolence flowers and their meaning.
