Funeral
The design inside this sympathy card captures a moment of hushed beauty, reminiscent of a peaceful walk through South Hornchurch when the day is just beginning. From the lower edge of the card, a cluster of tall, fine stems emerges, each line drawn with delicate precision. Atop these stems, umbelliferous flowerheads spread out in intricate, starburst patterns, their many tiny florets softened by layers of watercolour in lavender, cool violet, and soft blue. Surrounding them, translucent washes of silvery green and muted purple create a gentle backdrop, like distant foliage blurred by early morning light. The flowers seem almost weightless, as though a passing breeze might sway them, yet the scene remains perfectly still, inviting quiet contemplation. Scattered among the blooms are faint, ethereal butterflies, their wings only lightly suggested, adding a sense of movement and hope without disturbing the card's calm atmosphere. The light within the image feels diffused, smoothing edges and blending colours until everything appears wrapped in a soft veil. There is no clutter, no heavy detail-only gracious forms and a soothing palette that encourages a moment of pause. A short, heartfelt message of sympathy, written in elegant script, rests near the floral illustration, its tone humble and sincere. As a florist working closely with families in South Hornchurch, I recognise in this artwork the same intention we bring to our sympathy arrangements: to honour loss gently, using quiet tones and natural forms. Paired with a simple bouquet or wreath, this card offers a tender visual embrace for someone navigating grief.
