Funeral
The artistry of this sympathy card rests in its delicate, botanical illustration, which carries the same hushed calm you might sense walking past the green spaces around Colliers Wood in the early morning. Tall, graceful stems of umbelliferous flowers rise in soft arcs, their fine outlines painted in muted greys and overlaid with veils of violet, mauve, and silvery green. Each flower head is composed of many tiny, lace-like florets, so light and airy they seem close to evaporating into the pale, watercolour background. The base of the card is gently brushed with soft purple and blue tones, fading upward into an almost white-lilac sky, creating the effect of mist lifting from a quiet meadow. Transparent butterflies drift among the blossoms, their wings defined only by the slightest touch of colour, like shadows of movement in still air. There is a tactile softness to the scene, as though you could trace each slender stem and feel it give lightly beneath your fingers. No single element shouts for attention; instead, the muted hues and gentle gradients work together to evoke calm, compassion, and reflection. It feels like the visual equivalent of a comforting hand on the shoulder. As a local florist for Colliers Wood, I recognise in this card the same intention we bring to funeral tributes and sympathy bouquets delivered nearby: to speak softly through nature's lines and colours, offering a quiet gesture of support that acknowledges loss while also hinting at the steady, healing passage of time.
