White carnations form the base of this cross, crossed again by a full spray of roses in the color your family chooses. Greenery fills in around the edges, and our designers create the whole piece by hand before it's delivered.
This standing cross suits a funeral service, a wake, or a graveside gathering, and the rose color you pick can carry its own meaning: red for deep love, white for peace, pink for admiration, or yellow for friendship. It's built to stand tall enough to read clearly from across the room, a clear, visible sign of support for the family.
Our designers have designed crosses like this one since 1903 from our design studio, and we arrange timed delivery to funeral homes in most areas nationwide, like our other funeral arrangements, so it arrives well ahead of the service. Every cross is built to be customized around the color that matters most to your family.
We built this memorial cross of flowers to give families one meaningful choice at a moment when so much already feels decided for them. The white carnation base stays steady, while the rose color becomes a small, personal decision that still says something true about the person being honored.
Rose color, sizing, and delivery timing for this standing cross arrangement are covered below.
What's Included in These Funeral Cross Flowers: This piece combines a white carnation base with a full spray of roses in your chosen color, gathered into a traditional shape with assorted foliage. It arrives fully assembled and can stand on its own base, nothing to put together at the service.
Choosing a Rose Color: The white carnation base stays constant, while the rose spray carries whichever color you select, red, white, pink, or yellow. Let us know your preference when ordering, or our designers will choose based on what's freshest that week.
Standard, Deluxe, and Premium: Choose Standard, Deluxe, or Premium. Larger sizes add more roses across the spray without changing the overall shape, true of all our arrangements.
Occasions for This Standing Cross: This tribute suits funeral services, wakes, or graveside gatherings, working well as a gift from a spouse, a family, or a group of friends.
Before the Service: No water is needed once this cross arrives. It stands firm through the service on its own, and funeral home staff typically keep it out of direct light until then, often near the casket.
Delivery to the Funeral Home: We provide timed delivery to funeral homes in most areas nationwide, so please include the service time and the deceased's name at checkout for accurate timing. Call our shop directly if a family needs this cross on short notice.
Red often signals deep love, white suggests peace, pink reflects admiration, and yellow speaks to friendship.
Yes, just note your preference when ordering. Our designers can split the spray between two colors, red and white together is a common choice, while keeping the white carnation base the same.
