Natural funeral flowers, thoughtfully designed in Sussex
Farewell flowers for funerals and sympathy, created with care and sensitivity.
I create natural, seasonal funeral flowers for families across Sussex, thoughtfully designed to reflect your loved one.
They are a world away from standard, off-the-shelf tributes — more personal, uplifting, and a gentle celebration of life.
I know this can be a difficult time, and flowers are often just one of many things to think about.
Each arrangement is made without floral foam, using thoughtful, eco-friendly techniques and materials.
Whether you have a clear idea or don’t know where to start, I’ll guide you through the process gently and simply.

HOW TO ORDER FUNERAL FLOWERS
I know this can be a difficult and emotional time and my aim is to make ordering funeral flowers as simple and stress-free as possible.
– Get in touch by phone, email or the enquiry form
– Tell me a little about what you need, or I can help guide you
– I’ll talk you through options and provide a clear quote
– I liaise with funeral directors and arrange delivery
– I personally deliver the flowers to the service, crematorium or home
So once everything is arranged, it’s one less thing to worry about.
FUNERAL FLOWER OPTIONS
I offer a range of natural, seasonal funeral flowers, all designed individually rather than from a set template.
This includes:
– Coffin sprays
– Tied sheaves (a softer, more natural alternative to a traditional bouquet)
– Wreaths and circular tributes
– Eco funeral letters made using willow, moss and natural materials
– Flowers for the church, crematorium, wake or home
Everything is created to reflect the person it is for, using seasonal flowers and a natural, relaxed style.
PRICING GUIDANCE
As each arrangement is bespoke, prices vary depending on the size, style and flowers used.
As a guide:
– Tied sheaves from £120
– Wreaths from £75
– Coffin sprays from £160
– Funeral letters priced individually depending on size and detail
I’m always happy to talk through options and create something that works within your budget.
ECO-FRIENDLY FUNERAL FLOWERS
I specialise in eco-friendly funeral flowers that are made without plastic, wire or floral foam, allowing them to naturally return to the earth.
This approach is gentler on the environment and is often required for natural burial grounds such as Clayton Wood, just a few minutes from my studio in Hassocks.
I’m also a member of The Farewell Flowers Directory, which connects people looking for more natural, sustainable funeral flowers with independent florists across the UK.
A NATURAL, PERSONAL STYLE
My floristry style is natural, loose and slightly wild, with nothing too structured or overly formal.
Personal touches are always welcome — whether that’s a favourite flower, meaningful colours, or even flowers from your loved one’s garden.
Every arrangement is created individually, with the aim of reflecting their personality and what feels right for you.
SEASONAL, LOCAL FLOWERS
I use high-quality, seasonal flowers from trusted suppliers, and during the British growing season I prioritise locally grown flowers from Sussex wherever possible.
I’m lucky to work with growers and flower farms in and around Hassocks, including Ditchling, Hurstpierpoint, Henfield and Cuckfield.
Delivery is free of charge within the following areas: Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, Burgess Hill and Ditchling. I also deliver to other areas in Sussex including Haywards Heath, Brighton, Hove, Cuckfield, Lewes, Henfield and Crawley for a small delivery charge to cover time and expenses.

I believe in funeral flowers that are gentle on the planet and source as many flowers grown in Sussex as I can; supporting other local businesses and using predominately seasonal pesticide-free flowers with a low carbon footprint.I am also a ‘foam free’ florist* and as a result do not offer the traditional funeral letters. I have created an alternative though made of twigs, moss and string as do appreciate the wish to honour these connections. Please ask to see examples.
*Foral foam is a toxic micro plastic which is unarguably harmful to the environment, doesn’t degrade for many years and can even harm wildlife prone to nibble flowers left in a burial ground. If you are interested, you can read more about the floral foam issue here. -
