Floral Options
Sample design — each arrangement is made fresh with seasonal flowers
Our flower arrangement philosophy
We don’t use a catalogue of fixed designs. Instead, our florists create fresh, thoughtful arrangements from seasonal blooms, gently guided by your preferences.
Our standard pricing includes a premium seasonal small casket cover from trusted florists who craft with care and beauty. Larger sizes or different arrangements are available, at cost.
Guidance
What kind of arrangement?
The typical kind of arrangement of flowers on a coffin is known as a casket cover.
We usually ask: are there any colours or seasonal flowers you have in mind?
Popular choices include:
Multi-coloured
Whites and creams
Native flowers — the most common choice for a man
Combining with the colour of the coffin or casket
When choosing a floral arrangement, it is good to bear in mind the colour of the coffin or casket. In particular, if it is white, multi-coloured seasonal flowers work best. A maple or darker brown colour goes well with native flowers. Sometimes, families change the selection of coffin or casket based on the floral arrangement they prefer.
What happens to the flowers afterwards?
The arrangement is yours to keep, if you wish. Some families take the flowers to where they are having refreshments and divide them into smaller bouquets for guests to take home.
Choosing a florist
Some families prefer a florist they already know. Others like to meet someone local in person — we can suggest options.
Most prefer us to handle the flowers directly, which we’re happy to do. Below are the florists we work with in different areas.
The florists we work with depends on the location.
