This large, saxophone-shaped funeral arrangement stands upright against a plain white background, its bold outline immediately catching the eye like a silhouette on a Shacklewell stage. The entire instrument is built from layer upon layer of small, tightly clustered yellow chrysanthemums, their compact heads pressed closely together until they create a continuous, softly textured surface that faithfully traces the long stem, curved neck, and flared bell of a classic saxophone. The yellow tone is bright but gentle, reminiscent of late afternoon light over nearby Hackney Downs, giving the tribute a hopeful, uplifting character despite its solemn purpose. Scattered thoughtfully across this sunny base are numerous small red spray roses, their petals rich and velvety. Each cluster is placed to mimic the position of keys and mechanical details, so that they read both as decorative flourishes and as structural parts of the instrument. Woven between the blooms are slender strands of dark green foliage, perhaps ivy or another trailing leaf, that curl and loop around the neck and down towards the bell, emphasising the instrument's graceful curvature. Just visible along the top and sides are a few delicate silver wires and green stems, which provide hidden support and subtly trace the internal workings of the sax. From the mouthpiece area, a fine, elegant wire arcs upwards like a final, lingering note. Created by skilled local florists familiar with memorials across Shacklewell and surrounding streets, this bespoke tribute would sit beautifully beside a coffin or at the front of a chapel, speaking quietly of jazz nights, rehearsals, and the joy of making music. The combination of joyful yellow and loving red offers a poignant expression of remembrance and enduring affection.

A meticulously crafted saxophone-shaped floral sculpture is displayed upright against a pure white background, its form so precise that it seems ready to be lifted and played. Every part of the instrument-long body, curved neck, and flared bell-is completely covered with tightly packed, bright yellow chrysanthemum florets, their tiny petals overlapping to create a velvety, almost plush texture that catches soft studio light. These yellow blooms blend into one another to form a smooth, continuous surface, so the eye follows the iconic silhouette without interruption. Dotted along the length of the saxophone are small, rounded red buds, likely miniature roses or similar flowers, arranged where the keys and buttons would naturally sit, giving the tribute rhythm and a satisfying visual beat. Here and there, fine strands of fresh greenery twist and weave through the flowers, especially around the sweeping neck and the bell, echoing the fluid lines of a melody and adding a hint of natural movement. On the upper left, near the notional mouthpiece, a cluster of slender green or metallic wires rises delicately, suggesting the reed or perhaps notes drifting upwards over Shacklewell's busy streets and local venues. The clean white background throws every colour into sharp relief, making the sunny yellow and deep red glow warmly. This imaginative design works beautifully as a sympathy tribute for a saxophonist, a jazz devotee from around Shacklewell High Street, or anyone whose life was shaped by music. The arrangement conveys both celebration and farewell: the brightness of shared memories, the depth of loss, and the quiet gratitude for a life lived in tune with the songs they loved. A beautifully crafted floral saxophone stands out crisply against a plain white background, transforming a familiar musical shape into a rich tapestry of petals and foliage. The main structure of the instrument is fashioned from countless yellow chrysanthemums, each bloom tightly nestled against the next so that no gaps disrupt the smooth, continuous outline. From the flared bell at the bottom, curving elegantly upward into the long tube and gently arched neck, the golden body captures the proportions of a real saxophone with surprising accuracy. Running vertically along this sunny surface, like a line of keys waiting to be pressed, are strands of vivid orange-red spray roses intertwined with dainty clusters of fresh green leaves. These touches add visual rhythm and a pleasing contrast, suggesting both the functional parts of the saxophone and the spirited character of music itself. Delicate, pale green floral wires can be glimpsed here and there, discreetly shaping and supporting the design, much as internal rods and springs animate a true brass instrument. A soft, subtle shadow beneath the tribute hints at its three-dimensional form and the way it might be displayed at a service or memorial. The piece feels both uplifting and poignant, a fitting floral tribute for a funeral or celebration of life in the Shacklewell area-perhaps honouring a jazz lover, a busker often heard near local cafés, or someone whose presence always brought a warm, melodic energy to family gatherings. It is a floral sculpture that lets memory and music entwine in one tender gesture.
