floral tribute

Sympathy bouquet arrangement

A floral tribute is flowers given to honor the dead—wreaths, bouquets, or arrangements sent to funerals or placed at graves and memorials.

The phrase is somewhat formal: Floral tributes lined the entrance to the church.

Informally, people just say flowers.
