Why People Choose Funeral Flower Keepsakes
Funeral flowers often feel deeply personal. They may have been:
-
placed on the coffin
-
chosen by family
-
part of a tribute
-
brought by friends
-
arranged for a memorial service
Preserving them can offer:
-
a sense of closeness
-
a gentle reminder of love
-
something to hold during difficult moments
-
a way to honour someone’s life
-
a comforting keepsake to pass down
It’s a quiet, meaningful way to keep someone’s memory close.
What Flowers Can Be Preserved?
Most funeral flowers can be turned into keepsakes, including:
-
roses
-
lilies
-
carnations
-
chrysanthemums
-
orchids
-
mixed arrangements
-
petals from wreaths or sprays
-
small sections of floral tributes
Even slightly wilted flowers can be used — they often create soft, natural colours that look beautiful in resin.
If you’re unsure whether your flowers will work, you’re always welcome to ask.
How Funeral Flower Preservation Works
1. You send your flowers
Fresh or dried flowers can be used. If they’re still fresh, I’ll guide you on how to package them safely.
2. Gentle drying
Your flowers are dried carefully to preserve as much colour and shape as possible. Every order is handled individually, with your blooms kept clearly labelled and separate.
3. Creating your keepsake
Once dried, your flowers are set into resin to create a lasting piece. This protects the petals and allows you to keep them close in a form that feels comforting and personal.
4. Your keepsake is returned to you

Can You Use Old or Dried Flowers?
Yes. Dried flowers work beautifully, and older petals can still be used as long as they’re not mouldy.
Many people contact me weeks or even months after the funeral — it’s never too late to ask.
A Gentle Closing Thought
Funeral flowers are part of a moment you never forget. Preserving them allows you to carry a small piece of that love forward — something soft, something lasting, something that feels like them.
