Funeral
The inside of this sympathy card unfolds like a soft watercolour memory, tender and hushed, much like an early walk through the tree-lined paths near West Ham Park. Slender stems of wildflowers rise upward, each topped with delicate umbelliferous blooms that resemble tiny clusters of lace. They are painted in muted violets, gentle purples and hints of soft blue, with silvery green undertones that ground the composition near the base. The flower heads fade at the edges into fine, misty silhouettes, giving the impression that they are gently moving in a light breeze, bending and swaying yet never breaking. A subtle wash of colour fills the background, blending lavender, greyed lilac and pale blue into a hazy, dreamlike field that suggests distant grass and sky without drawing attention away from the blooms. Floating lightly between the stems are several butterflies with semi-transparent wings, their delicate outlines barely etched, as if caught mid-flutter. They serve as a quiet symbol of transformation, resilience and the enduring warmth of treasured memories. The lighting in the illustration is diffuse and even, without harsh shadows, evoking the soft glow of an overcast day. Above the floral tableau, a simple expression of sympathy appears in elegant, flowing script, gentle in tone and respectfully restrained. As a local florist in West Ham who often helps families choose funeral tributes and condolence gifts, I see in this card the same qualities we value in our sympathy arrangements: thoughtful detail, a soothing palette and a tender, unspoken understanding, making it a graceful companion to any bouquet or wreath delivered in and around West Ham.
