What will you Learn?
It’s a sad truth that the traditional style funeral flowers seen in most funeral director’s catalogues, are leaving more behind than just the memories. Unfortunately, the single-use plastics (plastic-derived floral foam), poly-ribbons and plastic card holders are also making a huge impact on our environment. It’s completely understandable when grieving the loss of a loved one, that this may not be forefront of people’s minds. We are determined to spread the word and make it part of normal everyday conversation, that alternative options ARE available, and we’d love to share this knowledge and show you how.
Funeral work is a fundamental mainstay for all floral businesses, and such a joy and privilege to be able to offer as a personal service to a family. Funeral work can also fit really beautifully within your floral service offer; alongside weddings as they are more often week-days rather than weekend (wedding) work. Funeral floral services can also sit really well alongside a flower farm business model. They offer a unique opportunity for you to grow your reputation as a grower/florist, but on a much smaller scale than weddings, so are ideal to first start exploring and reaching out into your community, and to help gain and strengthen relationships.

The range of techniques, designs and options for funeral floristry is larger than many people think; and the eco-friendly mechanics options are also varied. We use different systems for different styles, and flower choices, depending on the time of year, and depending on the exact type of funeral service that is taking place. We ask; what is happening to the flowers afterwards? And that is crucial in our decision-making.
This comprehensive course is fundamental to our business and we believe, the knowledge we share is vital for successful eco-funeral work, and can make a huge impact on your business.
