A florist’s funeral display arranged in the shape of a cigarette with a rather cheeky ‘catchphrase’ has gone viral on social media.
Social media users were left in hysterics after pictures were shared of the display – with features a large cigarette made out of cream and brown flowers, with grey ‘ash’ at the head, and a ribbon reading ‘f**k off’.
Created by Beaukays Bespoke Flowers in Liverpool, the order was placed because the woman “loved a ciggy and to tell people to f**k off”.
The post went viral on Twitter, garnering 1.4 million views and 31,000 likes.

The display drew comparisons to Eastenders’ Dot Cotton and Benidorm’s Madge Harvey – both infamous for their smoking habits.

The florist has garnered attention thanks to its rather unusual displays – including a wreath of cigars, Bud Light beer, a can of Dr Pepper, and even food like Maltesers and cheese and onion crisps.
A spokesperson for the company said: “We love doing these meaningful tributes, especially when it makes the family smile and reminisce about their loved ones at such a hard time.”
Commenting on the cigarette display, one Twitter user said: “What in the Eastenders is this?”

“Don’t bother coming to my grave unless you intend on putting this on it,” joked another viewer.
Someone else commented: “When I die, I want this, but the brief to be: ‘She loved mozzarella dippers and telling people to f**k off’ bonus points if there’s bits of mozzarella oozing out of the crumb, a little tub of aioli on the side wouldn’t go amiss either.”
Another user quipped: “Such a shame to see Madge from Benidorm has passed.”

“Did Madge Harvey die or something?” another viewer guessed.
Someone else commented: “When I die and my Twitter is found I just need my loved ones to know this is exactly what I want for my funeral. Exactly.”
“Need this at my funeral and I’m not joking,” another fan agreed.
Someone else said: “This is my new career goal as a florist.”
“Thought this was a mozzarella stick,” said another amused viewer.
