This image shows a refined, elongated sympathy spray of blue and white roses, photographed against a plain white background so every petal and leaf is clearly defined. The arrangement flows diagonally from upper left to lower right, forming a long teardrop or crescent shape reminiscent of a gentle river of flowers, the way mourners slowly process through West Norwood Cemetery's historic paths. At the heart of the spray, numerous fully opened roses are packed closely together, roughly half in a rich, sapphire blue and half in soft ivory or creamy white. The strong blue blooms add depth and intensity, while the pale roses lend a sense of calm and purity, the two tones evenly interwoven rather than separated. Delicate heads of white baby's breath sit afloat between them, their tiny star-like flowers softening the transitions and bringing a light, airy texture. Surrounding this central mass of roses is abundant greenery that gives the piece its structure. Broad, glossy dark green leaves create a firm base, bright green fern fronds fan outward at the top, and long, arching palm leaves extend from the lower right, cascading elegantly and emphasising the downward movement. Here and there, bluish-green, eucalyptus-like sprigs slip between the roses, introducing a subtle variation in both colour and leaf shape. Wide bands of striped green and cream foliage, or ribbon styled like foliage, are folded, wrapped, and curled through the design, adding tailored, almost architectural lines within the natural forms. The overall look is dignified and composed, a fitting floral tribute for a funeral or memorial service in West Norwood, conveying honour, remembrance, and a serene kind of beauty for families marking a final farewell.

A sophisticated blue and white funeral spray is displayed on a stark white background, its graceful teardrop form slanting from the upper left down to the lower right. The central focus is a dense cluster of roses, each bloom fully open and velvety, with about half of the flowers a deep sapphire blue and the other half a gentle ivory white. These two colours alternate and intertwine along the length of the spray, so that the eye moves naturally from one to the other, much like following the quiet curve of a path through West Norwood's churches and memorial gardens. Fine sprays of white baby's breath are threaded among the roses, creating a soft haze that lightens the overall composition and adds delicate texture between the larger petals. This bed of roses rests in a frame of lush greenery. Broad, dark green leaves anchor the top and sides, giving solidity, while fresh, bright green fern fronds rise lightly near the upper left, their feathery tips adding a touch of movement. From the bottom right, long, slender palm fronds sweep outward and downward in a gentle arc, defining the cascading shape associated with traditional funeral and sympathy sprays. Scattered through the foliage are small sprigs of bluish-green, eucalyptus-style leaves, offering cool, rounded shapes that contrast with the stronger lines of the palms. Wide, striped bands of folded green-and-cream foliage or decorative ribbon are woven through the arrangement in a few places, adding a subtle, modern detail. The mood is solemn yet comforting, ideal as a tribute for a funeral, wake, or remembrance gathering in West Norwood, where families wish to express respect, loyalty, and enduring love.
