FUNERALS & MEMORIALS

Heartfelt and bespoke sustainable floral design
“I was recommended to use Ali for our mother’s funeral. I knew of Ali's work before this but only through social media. Ali was so easy to work with and listened compassionately to my story of mum and how to incorporate this into the flowers. Ali suggested we could use flowers or foliage from my mums garden which I found such a soothing thing to do. So I collected some foliage that Ali incorporated into the arrangement. The arrangement was a beautiful array of flowers, foliage, some natives and some from my mums garden...mum would have loved it.”

The funeral/memorial is a sad but important time where we honour a loved one’s life, where we process our grief, and where we share with others. Flowers support us by helping us to connect with ourselves, with others, with memories and with the person who has passed.
The double ended casket arrangement is popular for decorating the casket/coffin.
For those who would like to take the flowers home or to the wake after the service, a single ended handheld arrangement is a good option as it can be easily transported and placed in a vase of water.
For the flower lover, the foot of this casket is decorated in natural meadow styling so that it appears to sit above a garden of native florals.
A floral arrangement in a vase is perfect for a memorial, and can be placemed next to a photo of your loved one.

I love cutting florals from the garden of a cherished person to design in their floral display.
To honour a person’s life and share thoughts and prayers to the family, the front facing bouquet is a beautiful way to display flowers as a tribute delivered to the funeral
A wreath made on a base of locally grown grapevines and decorated with seasonal florals is always a beautiful tribute.
