Every Farwell Flowers Directory florist offers plastic-free, compostable arrangements, and has promised to include local or UK grown ingredients in every compostable funeral design. They’re all independent businesses, so you’ll need to contact them directly via their websites to explore ideas and what you’d like to choose as funeral flowers.

Compostable funeral flower arrangements will gradually and naturally disappear back into the earth if left in place. All Farewell Flowers Directory florists want to offer designs which work towards solving the problem of plastic waste in floristry.

We want to encourage everyone in the flower industry to work towards improving sustainability. Asking our florists to commit to offering plastic-free, compostable designs and to using some UK grown flowers and foliage all helps to make funeral flowers more sustainable.

We ask Farewell Flowers Directory florists to explain where their flowers come from so please see details on the funeral pages of their websites for more information.

Florists will be happy to listen to your ideas and to discuss what flower and foliage choices may be available to create your chosen funeral arrangement, or to be guided by something as simple as a preference for pastel or bright flowers. To help you understand what florists mean when they talk about different styles of arrangement, you can find helpful terms to discuss arrangement styles here. If you’re not sure where to start, why not take a look at our funeral flowers and seasonal galleries, or read stories inspiring other farewell tributes. Maybe these will spark an idea to inspire the perfect funeral flowers for you.

Please mention The Farewell Flowers Directory in your enquiry and request that your arrangement is made in a compostable way - some florists may offer non-compostable options too so it’s important to be clear what you’re looking for.
