When it comes to choosing between real flowers and silk flowers, it really depends on your priorities. While real flowers are often seen as the traditional choice for tributes, they come with a higher price tag and are not the most environmentally friendly option. Real flowers can start at £50 per letter, and once the service is over, they typically wilt and contribute to waste.
On the other hand, silk flowers offer a more sustainable and affordable alternative. They can be just as beautiful and are a lasting tribute that doesn’t result in waste. Many people find silk flowers to be just as meaningful as real flowers. They also allow for a greater variety of designs and colours, often at a fraction of the cost.
In terms of sustainability and affordability, silk flowers can be a better choice, offering both a lasting memory and a reduced environmental impact.
Hiring flowers for a funeral or memorial service offers several benefits, particularly when it comes to sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and convenience. Unlike purchasing real flowers, which can be expensive and contribute to waste after the service, hiring flowers allows you to create a beautiful, meaningful tribute without the long-term environmental impact. Floral tributes can be hired for a fraction of the cost of buying them outright, making it a more affordable option for families.
Additionally, hired flowers can be seen and chosen in advance, ensuring they perfectly match the desired theme and aesthetic, while avoiding the stress of last-minute arrangements. Hiring flowers provides a lasting and eco-friendly way to honour your loved one with elegance and respect.
Renting flowers for a funeral or memorial service can offer significant cost savings compared to purchasing real flowers. While prices for traditional floral tributes can start at £50 per letter or more, hiring flowers from us costs a fraction of that amount.
This means you can create a beautiful, meaningful tribute without the financial burden of buying expensive flowers that will only last a few days. Renting flowers also eliminates the need for additional costs like delivery and disposal fees, which are often associated with traditional floral arrangements, as we will take care of deliver and collection for no extra cost.
1. Select your floral tributes from our range available online or in our brochure (a small selection is also available to see in branch).
2. Make payment.
3. We deliver the arrangements to your chosen funeral director the day before the service.
4. We then collect the arrangements from your chosen funeral director the day following the service.
If you would like to discuss different payment options including payment plans, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
Renting flowers offers significant eco-benefits, including reduced waste, less chemical use, and a lower carbon footprint. Unlike real flowers, which are often discarded after use, rented flowers are reusable, cutting down on landfill waste. They also avoid the harmful pesticides used in traditional flower farming and reduce the need for long-distance transport. Additionally, renting flowers means less packaging waste, making it a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option.
