White Arrangement for Memorial Services (Size S)

This is a memorial arrangement primarily featuring white flowers. We created a stylish and gentle look using "Lisianthus" with its delicate petals and soft "Baby's Breath." This smaller-sized memorial flower arrangement is recommended for those who want to send a casual gift.


Ready-to-Display! Seasonal Florist's Choice Bouquet

This is a memorial flower bouquet created by our florists using seasonal flowers of their choice. It is primarily made with white, purple, and blue flowers to give it a pure finish. Since it's a bouquet that can be displayed as is with the wrapping, you don't need a vase. Just place it in front of the Buddhist altar or a photograph. This product is perfect for when you're unsure if the recipient has a vase. It is also a recommended flower gift for those who want to convey their feelings with many flowers.


Pale Pink Arrangement for Memorial Services (Size M)

This is a pale pink memorial arrangement. We created a gentle atmosphere by adding lovely pale pink accents to white flowers. This is a substantial size memorial flower arrangement. Please send it along with your special thoughts.
