Our flower arrangement philosophy
We don’t use a catalogue of fixed designs. Our florists make fresh arrangements from seasonal flowers, guided by your preferences.
Our standard price includes a seasonal small floral arrangement made by one of the florists below. Larger sizes or other arrangements are available at cost. You are also welcome to use a florist you know.
The florists we work with
The Flannel Collective: established by a Fine Arts graduate of Sydney College of the Arts.
BESS: focused on Australian native wildflowers with a multi-generational family tradition of growing and selling flowers.
Susan’s Succulents: living arrangements that the family can take home and keep. Featured in Better Homes and Gardens and Gardening Australia.
Guidance
What kind of arrangement?
The most popular choice is native flowers, with different tones like multi-coloured or whites and creams.
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, a multi-coloured arrangement works best. A maple or darker brown colour goes well with those sorts of tones. 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. Others prefer to leave all of them with the coffin.
