Funeral
The sympathy card reveals a tranquil illustration that feels very much like an early morning walk through a misty field on the edge of Wallington, not far from Mellows Park. Tall, fine-stemmed wildflowers with umbelliferous tops drift upward across the card, their forms painted in layered washes of violet, dusky lavender, and cool blue, softened by veils of pale grey-green. The blossoms appear almost weightless, as if they have been sketched in the air rather than on paper, their filigree petals fading delicately at the edges into the watercolour background. Behind them, broad sweeps of muted colour create a soft-focus landscape, reminiscent of distant hedgerows seen through fog. Transparent butterflies float between the stems, their wings suggested with just a few strokes, capturing the impression of life moving quietly and gently around us. The light seems low and enveloping, like the calm before the town fully wakes, lending a reflective, meditative mood. There is a sense of touch here too-the imagined texture of feathery petals brushing against fingertips, the cool smoothness of fine card stock. As a florist used to creating condolence tributes for families throughout Wallington, I recognise how this design walks that delicate line between sorrow and solace. It offers not just an image, but a moment of pause and breathing space for the recipient, pairing beautifully with understated sympathy flowers delivered to a home near Woodcote Road or along Stafford Road, where thoughtful gestures carry deep meaning in times of grief.
