About The Farewell Flowers Directory

Find naturally beautiful, plastic-free funeral flowers

The Farewell Flowers Directory connects you with UK florists who want to change the world of funeral flowers, one arrangement at a time. Our farewell flowers start with a chat about the person you’re remembering and not with a catalogue. Florists will explore how to echo that person’s life, their interests and their personality to create unique and fitting final flowers.

Every funeral arrangement is special, just like the person they’re made for.

It’s sad that our introduction to funeral flowers usually happens when we’re grieving.
We’re in the funeral director’s office after the death of someone we’ve loved, confused by choices.
Burial or cremation? How many service sheets? Which hymns? Who will give a eulogy? Finger Buffet A or B?


Faced by so many decisions, it’s easy to plump for the first flowers in the director’s catalogue - often made to a formula without considering seasonality or the environmental impact of the materials used to create the designs. All the florists you’ll find on our directory can provide naturally beautiful, compostable funeral flower arrangements, made without plastics or plastic-derived floral foam and always including some UK grown flowers or foliage.

We’ll help you find uniquely lovely funeral flowers, made with nature and people at their heart.

What are ‘funeral flowers’?

Funeral flowers can be anything you want them to be, but the language used to describe them can be a little confusing if you’re not a florist. To help you discuss with your florist which type of funeral flowers you’d like, we’ve made a quick guide to some of the most frequently requested styles.

Why choose plastic-free funeral flowers?

It’s estimated that every year, over 14,670 cubic metres of floral foam and single use plastic are sent to landfill from crematoriums across the UK. That’s the equivalent of 6 Olympic swimming pools.
