A guide to funeral and sympathy flowers.
We sometimes tend to avoid talk of death or funerals until there is no choice but to do so: but this can mean that, unless you are familiar with funeral flowers or have planned a funeral before, it can be difficult to know what to order when the time does come.
Understandably, it can sometimes be easier to choose from a standard brochure and a set design - but I don’t think that all funeral flowers should look the same. It can be confusing to understand some of the florist terms for funeral flowers and where the tributes are designed to go, so here is a brief summary of the designs I offer and a guide to prices.
If you don’t see what you are after here, please get in touch below.

Casket Spray
A large arrangement placed on top of the coffin which is often the main floral tribute.
Also sometimes referred to as a coffin spray or topper. Available single-ended (teardrop shape) or double-ended (diamond shape).
The single allows for extra tributes to be placed on the coffin whereas the double can be made to cover the entire space.Prices from xx
-
Sheaf
Essentially a flat tied bunch of flowers, a funeral sheaf can be placed on top of a coffin or gifted as a floral tribute.
Also known as tied sheaf or flat back bouquet and available in a variety of sizes.
You can use a few of these sheafs to create the shape of a casket spray allowing multiple people to contribute to the key floral tribute. And after the ceremony you can take home the flowers or gift to guests.Prices from xx

Wreath
Wreaths can be placed on top of a coffin or alongside a grave or used to mark the anniversary of the death of a loved one.
I offer eco wreaths as standard, made with willow, moss and string – enviromentally friendly, plastic free and biodegradable.Prices from xx

Garlands & Posies
Garlands or small posies can be woven or tied onto a wicker coffin, or posies can be placed in a casket. You can also create a basket of small posies for guests to place.

“Do you suppose she’s a wildflower?”
Collection from my studio in Hassocks or delivery may be possible for an extra charge depending on other floral commitments. Please note this service works by sourcing the best available on the day so I cannot guarantee any colours or varieties but I will always try to accomodate requests if I can, so do ask.
Below are examples of a few colourful wildflower style wedding bouquets I’ve made from Sussex grown flowers during the UK growing season (May to October). No two bouquets are ever the same - which is all part of the charm of British grown flowers!
