18" White Styrofoam Solid Heart – Polystyrene Funeral Tribute Form

A recognizable heart silhouette gives sympathy flowers a meaningful structure while allowing the designer complete control over the finished surface. The 18" White Styrofoam Solid Heart – Polystyrene Funeral Tribute Form is a lightweight, solid polystyrene foundation designed primarily for funeral flowers, memorial tributes, sympathy arrangements, and other decorative floral work. Measuring 18 inches high and approximately 2 inches thick, the white foam heart provides a broad surface for attaching silk flowers, dried botanicals, ribbon, foliage, moss, decorative picks, and other lightweight materials. Unlike water-absorbing fresh floral foam hearts, this is a dry Styrofoam form, making it especially useful for permanent sympathy pieces, artificial floral tributes, display work, and designs where a lightweight solid heart-shaped foundation is preferred.

• Height: 18 inches
• Thickness: Approximately 2 inches
• Shape: Solid heart
• Color: White
• Material: Polystyrene foam / Styrofoam
• Primary Use: Funeral, memorial, sympathy, artificial floral, and decorative tribute designs

The solid heart format gives funeral florists and sympathy designers an uninterrupted foundation that can be fully covered or intentionally left partially exposed depending on the design. Silk flowers, dried flowers, foliage, ribbon, moss, fabric, decorative picks, and similar materials can be pinned, inserted, glued, or otherwise secured across the face and perimeter of the heart. Its approximately 2-inch depth provides more body than a thin decorative cutout while keeping the finished tribute relatively lightweight for placement on an easel or within a memorial display. The white base is particularly useful for sympathy work because exposed areas remain visually neutral while the designer builds coverage. Beyond funeral flowers, the form can also be adapted for weddings, remembrance events, church displays, Valentine's décor, and other heart-shaped installations.

• Product Type: Solid Styrofoam heart / polystyrene floral tribute form
• Height: 18"
• Thickness: Approximately 2"
• Color: White
• Material: Expanded polystyrene foam
• Construction: Solid heart-shaped dry foam form
• Compatible Materials: Silk flowers, dried botanicals, foliage, ribbon, moss, fabric, pins, floral picks, and lightweight decorative materials
• Primary Applications: Funeral tributes, memorial arrangements, sympathy flowers, artificial floral hearts, remembrance displays, and decorative installations
• Fresh Flower Use: Does not absorb and supply water like fresh floral foam; fresh-cut flowers require a separate hydration method
• Modification: May be cut, pierced, pinned, or shaped; use only paints and adhesives compatible with polystyrene foam

For a traditional funeral tribute, establish the hanging orientation before beginning and work outward from the center so flower placement remains balanced on both sides of the heart. Silk and dried flower stems can be shortened and inserted directly into the foam when the stem construction allows it; softer materials can be secured with floral pins or a foam-compatible adhesive. For full-coverage designs, periodically stand the piece upright while working rather than designing entirely flat, since viewing it vertically makes gaps and uneven contours easier to identify. When using glue, paint, or another coating, test it first on a concealed section of foam. Some solvent-containing products can dissolve, pit, or deform polystyrene, so foam-compatible products should be used whenever possible. Do not soak this form or treat it as a substitute for wet fresh floral foam.

Who Uses This: Funeral and sympathy florists, retail flower shops, memorial-service designers, wedding florists, event designers, floral educators, church floral ministries, visual merchandisers, and decorators creating professional heart-shaped floral tributes and installations.

What is the difference between this 18-inch Styrofoam heart and a fresh floral foam heart?
This heart is made from dry polystyrene foam and is intended primarily as a structural foundation for artificial flowers, dried botanicals, ribbon, moss, and other decorative materials. It does not absorb and retain water for fresh-cut stems the way OASIS-style wet floral foam does. That makes it particularly useful for permanent funeral tributes, artificial sympathy arrangements, and other designs where hydration is unnecessary. If fresh-cut flowers are incorporated, they need a separate water source or hydration mechanic.

Can this solid Styrofoam heart be used for a funeral easel arrangement?
Yes, an 18-inch solid heart is a commonly used size and shape for funeral and memorial tribute work. The lightweight polystyrene construction makes it practical for designs that will ultimately be displayed vertically, although the finished piece must still be attached securely to the appropriate easel or support. Designers can cover the entire heart with artificial or dried floral materials or use ribbon, foliage, and other decorative elements to create a more open treatment. Always evaluate the weight of the completed arrangement and the strength of its attachment before displaying it vertically.

What is the most efficient way to buy solid Styrofoam hearts for a professional funeral flower shop?
LO Florist Supplies lists this 18-inch solid heart at its everyday professional wholesale rate, so the price shown is already available to funeral florists, retail flower shops, floral studios, and other buyers. There is no wholesale-account application required to access the listed price and no minimum order required simply to qualify for wholesale pricing.
