Fuji mums and roses gather in a woven mache-style basket for Loves Garden, finished with ribbon and soft greenery for a more feminine, garden-like feel. It's built to honor a life and stand on its own easel beside a casket or altar, elegant without being overdone. The ribbon detail sets it apart from a plainer floor basket.
Families often choose a softer, more decorative piece like this after a death when they want the tribute to feel personal rather than formal, a quiet way to support loved ones and family members alike. This basket suits a mother, grandmother, or close relative grieving a loss, and works whether the gathering is large or intimate.
From our studio, our designers have hand-arranged fresh flowers since 1903, knowing a considered gift matters most during a difficult time. We handle timed delivery to funeral homes in most areas nationwide; the service time at checkout helps us plan the route. This basket comes together with the same care every time a family calls on us.
Loves Garden came from wanting something that felt hand-gathered rather than formally arranged, roses and fuji mums tucked into a woven basket the way you might find in an actual garden. The ribbon finish added the personal touch that makes it feel less like a standard floor piece. It's one of the floor baskets we recommend most for a mother or grandmother.
A closer look.
What's Included in This Funeral Flower Basket: Fuji mums, carnations, and rose stems make up the flowers in this mache-style basket, finished with ribbon and greenery and delivered fully arranged. Other items can be added on request, as with our other sympathy arrangements and floor baskets.
A Garden-Style Palette: This piece leans on natural, garden-inspired tones rather than a single bold color, letting the fuji mums and rose blooms carry the look. Green foliage and other flowers fill the base of these arrangements.
Size & Presentation: Choose Standard, Deluxe, or Premium; each step up adds more roses and fuller coverage across the mache basket.
Occasions for Funeral Services: This basket suits a funeral service, a wake, or a celebration of life, one of our popular choices among mourners who want softer arrangements with a personal feel.
Funeral Home Delivery: Funeral homes in most areas nationwide receive timed delivery from us; add the service time at checkout. Reach out to our shop directly for anything needed at short notice.
Yes. While most orders go straight to the service location, we can deliver to a private home if that fits the family's plans better.
It suits that role well, though it works for anyone the family wants to remember warmly.
It can. We carry blooming and green plants for something that keeps going.
A simple line to express your condolences, like 'with deepest sympathy,' is always appropriate.
