Funeral Florists

Funeral flowers are a meaningful way to say goodbye and show love and respect to someone who has passed away. In Surrey, where the natural landscape is rich and full of life, flowers play an important part in funeral services, bringing comfort, beauty and a personal touch to the day.

Choosing the right flowers can help reflect the personality and life of the person being remembered. Many people select traditional flowers such as roses, lilies or carnations. These blooms carry their own symbolism – roses can represent both love and grief, while lilies are often linked to peace and the idea of a soul returning to innocence.

There’s also a growing trend towards more personal and meaningful floral tributes. Families sometimes include a favourite flower of the person who has died, or choose blooms that remind them of a special memory. Some arrangements even reflect a loved one’s interests, like a heart-shaped design, or one that echoes a hobby such as music or reading.

Florists in Surrey are experienced in helping families make these choices during what can be a very difficult time. They’ll guide you with care and sensitivity, making sure the flowers suit the setting – whether it’s a large service at a local church or a smaller, more private gathering.

More people are also considering the environmental impact of funeral flowers. Sustainable options are becoming popular, such as locally grown, seasonal flowers that don’t need to be transported long distances. Many are also choosing biodegradable arrangements.

For Natural Green Burials in particular, it’s important to know that flowers must not contain floral foam (such as oasis) or any plastic packaging. Instead, arrangements should be hand-tied using natural materials like twine, or presented as simple bunches without artificial extras.

Funeral flowers are more than decoration – they’re a final gift, a symbol of love, memory and farewell. In Surrey, with its strong floral heritage and caring local florists, this tradition continues to offer comfort while making each goodbye as unique as the person it honours.
