A refined funeral wreath in the distinct shape of a lifebuoy is captured here against a pure white background, giving the arrangement a calm, almost timeless quality. The wreath is a complete circle, filled edge to edge with compact, small-petalled flowers, likely fresh chrysanthemums, each blossom placed close to the next so that the overall effect is smooth, full, and impeccably even. The design is neatly quartered, alternating between bands of royal blue and brilliant white: beginning at the top left with a block of rich blue, followed by white at the top right, then blue at the bottom right, and white at the bottom left. This repeating pattern of colour mirrors the classic safety rings that still hang along rivers and docksides, making the piece especially resonant for families on the Isle of Dogs, where the Thames curves closely and the history of shipping and trade is ever-present. Along the inner edge of the ring, a fine dark blue ribbon is softly ruched to create a delicate ruffle, tracing the circular opening and adding a subtle finishing touch that enhances the nautical impression. The centre of the wreath remains open, its empty space framed by the flowers and ribbon, almost like a quiet portal for thoughts, prayers, and memories. The cool palette of blue and white, combined with the careful craftsmanship, conveys a sense of calm dignity and steadfast support, particularly fitting for honouring someone whose life was bound to the water or who was seen as a dependable, lifesaving figure within their family or community around Canary Wharf, Mudchute, or Island Gardens.

Displayed against a spotless white background, this lifebuoy-style funeral wreath makes an immediate visual statement with its bold navy-and-white pattern and flawless circular form. The ring is densely composed of small-headed flowers, probably chrysanthemums selected for their tight, rounded blooms, which are set so closely that the surface appears almost seamless, as if the petals have been gently woven together. The wreath is divided into four distinct quadrants, alternating between deep royal blue and clear white: blue at the top left, white at the top right, blue at the bottom right, and white at the bottom left. This structured arrangement recalls the lifebelts seen along the Thames and around the old docks of the Isle of Dogs, tying the tribute directly to the area's maritime character. Along the inner circumference, a narrow dark blue ribbon has been lightly gathered into a fine ruffle, framing the open centre and adding texture without disrupting the clean geometry of the design. The central opening remains empty, drawing the eye inward and creating a calm focal space that suggests contemplation and a wish for peaceful passage. This type of wreath would be a deeply meaningful choice for a farewell service, perhaps for someone who worked on the river, served at sea, or simply loved watching the boats glide past Canary Wharf and along the winding water. The cool, measured palette and carefully controlled craftsmanship speak of respect, remembrance, and quiet strength, like a final symbolic lifeline extended to a beloved soul as they are entrusted to gentler tides.
