Funeral Flowers for Canley Garden Cemetery and Crematorium
Canley Garden Cemetery and Crematorium is on Cannon Hill Road in Canley, in the south-west of Coventry. It is run by Coventry City Council and is the city's principal crematorium, set within landscaped garden cemetery grounds.
The venue serves families from across Coventry and the surrounding Warwickshire villages, and its position near the A45 and the University of Warwick makes it straightforward to reach from Kenilworth and Leamington as well as the city itself.
Flowers accompany the majority of Canley funerals. The guidance below deals with ordering, the run up Cannon Hill Road, and the flowers' place in the gardens once the service has ended.
Flower Policy
Every shape of tribute reaches Canley without fuss, casket garlands, standing hearts, simple bunches, names in lettered flowers. The rule of the day is early arrival: the florist books a slot through the funeral director and has the piece in place before the funeral begins.
The garden setting does the rest. After the committal the tributes are put out among the planting for mourners to walk by, cards still attached. Families who would rather the flowers went home, or to a Coventry hospice or care home, arrange it through the funeral director beforehand.
Delivery Guidance
Write the destination in full, Canley Garden Cemetery and Crematorium, Cannon Hill Road, Coventry, and flag that the order is for a cremation service, since burials share the grounds. Alongside that the florist needs the funeral's booking name and its precise date and start time.
Coventry florists are at Canley daily, and shops in Kenilworth and Leamington reach it quickly along the A45. Same-day flowers: telephone, early, and ask. Otherwise route the tribute through the funeral director, whose staff bring it out to Cannon Hill Road on the morning of the service.
