funeral flowers for a loved one

hello everyone

i didnt whether or not to post this, but i thought if anyone had any advice for me it would be on here.

My dad is in the last few days of his life after suffering from cancer, he is at the point where he doesnt really respond to us now, and what my dad was has now gone, we have all been talking about the flowers for his funeral as i see it as a very personal way to express how we feel

i asked my stepmother what she wanted and she would like a heart

my grandmother would like a cross

my sister and i are having a dad frame from us both as we are both florists
but we also wanted to do a piece each as well

i wanted to do a heart before i found out that was my stepmother wanted, and its sounds awful but now i am compleatly out of ideas as to what to do for him, its like my mind has gone blank, he wasnt really into anything in a big way, like football or anything, and i wanted a special idea

i just cant think of what to do, i just wanted to know if anyone has done any funeral tributes that they thought were really original, it will only be a few days before i have to make this and i just cant think of anything, im sorry for depressing people but who better to ask than a bunch of florists, im sure i could think of something if it wasnt so close to me, but everything just seems cheesy or dated, and usually i can do some quite creative things, any input would be appreciated, i didnt quite know what section to put this in

thanks
lisa
