Farewell Flowers
I believe strongly in the power of flowers to to help families to come to terms with the loss of a loved one and I enjoy working with people to help them create meaningful floral tributes.
This one was created by a mother and her two daughters for their father who was a gamekeeper, gardener and keen vegetable grower. We enjoyed working together to choose his favourite flowers, vegetables and other elements that reminded them of him. All the while we talked, shared anecdotes and occasionally tears… but mostly I remember how the tension dropped away, to be replaced by gentle laughter and feelings of pride and satisfaction at having created a beautiful gift for him.
If you would like to know more about my natural farewell flowers or how I can help you to create your own funeral tributes please get in touch.
