Custom Funerals | Floral Arrangements

Custom funerals have gained in popularity over the years. From motorcycle- and sports-themed, and funerals concluding with butterfly or balloon releases, a memorial can be as unique an occasion as your loved one’s personality.

The details of custom funerals, of course, often include floral arrangements. From traditional sprays and wreaths to sculptures and more, the possibilities seem almost endless. The following are some examples that may inspire new ideas for your family members’ custom funerals:

• If the loved one was an avid baseball fan, flowers could be shaped into a baseball – stitching details included.
• If the deceased enjoyed jet-setting, or was a pilot, flowers could be arranged in the shape of a plane.
• Floral sprays can also contain blooms that were favorites of the deceased. Maybe those that he/she tended to themselves in their own garden.
• Additionally, hobby-related arrangements could simply feature a small object of relevant interest as an accent to flowers – like golf balls, knitting needles, pom-poms, or bookmarks.

• If your loved one ran a company that was their heart and soul’s mission, the flowers could be arranged in the shape of their business’ logo.
• If in the unfortunate case a couple passes away at the same time, having a floral arrangement made up of their initials intertwined would be a unique reflection of their commitment to each other.

Whether planning traditional or custom funerals, sometimes people don’t want to give flowers because they don’t last. However, flower keepsakes have become a popular way to preserve the blooms in a memorable way. Flowers can be made into jewelry beads, and, or paperweights. You can also go the route of silk flower arrangements that can serve in your home as a lasting tribute to your loved one. In any case, our staff can help you make arrangements to include beautiful flowers that will honor your loved one.
