      <image:title>Stories - Memorable and meaningful funeral flowers - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Flowers picked from well-loved gardens and familiar countryside provided the perfect ingredients for Rozanne’s Nan’s flowers. Made over a decade ago, before Rozanne became a flower farmer and florist and at a time when the detrimental environmental impact of floral foam was not widely discussed, foam was the unthinking choice for amateur flower arrangers. Now a working florist, Rozanne uses sustainable mechanics to support flowers in all of her arrangements.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Why start a directory for funeral flowers? - Why we feel strongly about funeral flowers</image:title>
      <image:caption>We’ve both made funeral flowers for years and we’ve seen for ourselves the solace and comfort gained from being able to put ‘just-right’ flowers on the coffins of people we’ve loved. We know that the best flowers are purposefully chosen after a conversation between families, friends and florists rather than being a flower arrangement being picked at random from a funeral director’s catalogue.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Why start a directory for funeral flowers? - Who are we? We’re Gill Hodgson (right, Fieldhouse Flowers, Yorkshire) and Carole Patilla (below, Tuckshop Flowers, Birmingham). We met twelve years ago as members of Flowers From The Farm - the national association of cut flower growers which Gill founded and of which Carole was a co-chair.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We’ve built The Farewell Flowers Directory to help people find gentler, more natural funeral flowers: we want to make it easier to find a more personal type of floral tribute at a difficult time.</image:caption>
