Crossword Genius

Like memorial tributes, distressing for all

Ross

I believe the answer is:

floral

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like memorial tributes' is the definition.
'floral' can be an answer for 'tributes' (I have seen 'Such tributes' mean 'floral' so perhaps 'tributes' could also mean 'floral'). I am not certain of the 'like memorial' bit.

'distressing for all' is the wordplay.
'distressing' indicates an anagram.
'for'+'all'='forall'
'forall' anagrammed gives 'FLORAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for floral that I've seen before include "sort of arrangement" , "could it be to do with naked ladies?" , "Relating to blossoms" , "Blooming" , "Of flowers, like wreath" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
