Flowers...such happy, cheerful, spirit lifting beauty. One of the very few things in this world that the majority of people will look at and feel even that little bit happier.
Every now and then a florist comes across a job which truly touches the heart. 9/10 it's funeral work. We recently had the honour of creating some sympathy designs for a friend of ours. A lot of florists find comfort from creating those farewell designs, and although we definitely felt it our duty, more so than usual, to create the perfect floral tribute, it certainly was a tough one to get through.
Funerals are a hard time on anyone, but especially to the family that has lost a loved one. Arranging the funeral is a very difficult thing to do and is very personal to each individual be it hymn choice, church choice, prayer choices etc... that also includes flower choice.
It's not until you have to say good bye to a loved one, or until you have to make one of the final gifts for the family, that you realise just how comforting flowers at a funeral can be. Whether it was her favourite colour of rose or his favourite flower to grow in the garden, it has a personal meaning between you.
Here are a few tributes we've created for families to give to their loved ones.
