This image presents a distinctive circular funeral wreath, styled exactly in the form of a maritime lifebuoy and placed against a bright, uncluttered white background so that all its details are clearly defined. The wreath itself is perfectly rounded, with a generous central opening, and every inch of its surface has been covered with petite, tightly clustered flowers, most likely fresh chrysanthemums at their peak freshness. The blooms are arranged into four strong, alternating colour panels: two rich, royal blue quarters and two crisp, snowy white quarters, creating an unmistakably nautical pattern. Beginning at the top left, the royal blue segment looks deep and velvety, followed by a clean white section at the top right, then blue again at the bottom right, and white at the bottom left, forming a balanced rhythm of colour around the circle. Each tiny floret nestles closely against its neighbour, giving the wreath a smooth yet subtly rippled texture, like gentle waves seen from a distance. Along the inner edge of the ring, a narrow band of dark blue ribbon is folded into a soft frill, echoing the blue flowers and framing the central void, which remains open and clearly visible. The craftsmanship feels precise and deliberate, the sort of careful work a New Addington florist would prepare for a family wishing to honour a loved one with links to the navy, shipping, canal work, or coastal holidays. The design carries strong symbolism: the lifebuoy shape suggests protection, rescue, and safe passage, while the white and blue palette speaks of calm seas, clear skies, and a peaceful farewell. Placed at a church, crematorium, or graveside service in or around New Addington, this floral life ring would provide a moving focal point, expressing gratitude for a 'lifesaver' and hope for their gentle journey onward.

A lifebuoy-inspired funeral wreath dominates the image, its symbolic circular form displayed on a stark white background that makes the colours appear even more vivid. The arrangement is densely composed of many small, round flowers, probably compact chrysanthemums, their petals layered so closely they form a luxurious, cushion-like surface with subtle undulations. The wreath is quartered into four distinct panels, each one a solid block of colour: two opposing sections of deep royal blue and two of immaculate white. Starting at the top left, a bold blue quadrant gives way to a cool white section at the top right, then blue again at the bottom right and white at the bottom left, echoing the classic pattern of a lifesaving ring hung at sea ports or along riverbanks. Around the inside of the ring, bordering the open centre, runs a narrow frill of dark blue ribbon, neatly pleated to add soft movement and reinforce the maritime theme. The floral work is tight and controlled, with no gaps or greenery, suggesting a professional hand and a wish for order, dignity, and respect. It is easy to imagine this piece prepared for a New Addington family saying goodbye to someone with strong maritime ties, or perhaps a loved one remembered as a source of support and rescue in everyday life. The blue conveys loyalty and depth of feeling, while the white suggests serenity and a peaceful passing. Set beside a coffin, on a stand in a chapel, or at a graveside, this floral lifebuoy would convey a message of remembrance, hope, and a final safe crossing, rooted gently in the community it serves.
