Funeral Flowers for Yardley Crematorium
East Birmingham gathers at Yardley. Acocks Green, Sheldon, Stechford, Hall Green and the streets along the Solihull border all hold their funerals here, at the city's main crematorium for its eastern side.
The venue stands on Yardley Road within the grounds of Yardley Cemetery, under the care of Birmingham City Council. The cemetery around it is mature and well kept, with gardens of remembrance where ashes can later rest.
For the florists of east Birmingham this is one of the most familiar addresses on their rounds, which makes the flower side of a Yardley funeral refreshingly uncomplicated.
Flower Policy
Tributes of all shapes pass through the cemetery gates, from a modest tied bunch through wreaths and cushions to casket-length sprays and names built letter by letter. Only something genuinely outsized or unusual calls for the funeral director to check with the venue before the order is confirmed.
Flowers come in ahead of the service rather than alongside it, on timing the florist or funeral director has agreed. After the committal the tributes usually stand where family and mourners can see them, and from there they can go home, stay at the venue for a period, or be passed on, the funeral director carries the family's preference to the staff when told in advance.
Delivery Guidance
A florist needs the deceased's name in full, the hour of the service, and certainty that the venue is the Yardley Road site, Birmingham has several crematoria, and 'Yardley Crematorium, Yardley Road, Birmingham' on the order removes any doubt.
For shops in Yardley, Acocks Green, Sheldon and Solihull this is a short, everyday run. Anyone uneasy about the morning's timing has the option of the florist dropping the piece at the funeral home beforehand, from where it accompanies the coffin.
