A red funeral cross is a meaningful tribute for honouring someone whose faith was an important part of their life. The cross represents faith, hope, comfort, and eternal life, while the red colour expresses deep love, respect, strength, and remembrance.
These floral cross arrangements are designed to create a dignified display at a funeral, visitation, church service, memorial, or celebration of life. Upright cross tributes are typically presented on a stand or easel, allowing the symbolic shape to remain visible throughout the service. Smaller cross-shaped tributes and cross pillows may also be placed near or inside the casket, depending on the design and the family’s wishes.
A red floral cross can be sent by immediate family members, relatives, close friends, colleagues, churches, community groups, or organizations. It may be especially appropriate when the deceased held strong Christian beliefs or when the service includes religious traditions and prayers.
When selecting a red funeral cross, consider the size of the service, where the tribute will be displayed, and the relationship between the sender and the deceased. A larger standing cross can create a prominent tribute in a chapel or church, while a smaller cross arrangement can offer a more personal expression of faith and remembrance.
For delivery to a funeral home, provide the deceased’s full name, the funeral home’s complete name and address, and the date and time of the visitation or service. Include the chapel, room, or branch when available so the tribute can be directed to the correct service. Free Delivery to Funeral Homes is available on orders over $69.
A short card message can accompany your red funeral cross. Meaningful examples include:
“May your faith bring you eternal peace.”
“Forever loved, remembered, and held in our prayers.”
“May God’s love bring comfort during this difficult time.”
“Honouring a life of faith, love, and devotion.”
“With heartfelt sympathy and prayers for your family.”
