Crafting a Meaningful Funeral: Personal Touches and the Advantages of Choosing a Local Florist
Planning a funeral, memorial or celebration of life is never an easy task. With lots of emotion tied up into proceedings, one of the best ways to make things simpler is to work with local providers.
Considering that 85% of people associate flowers with signs of sympathy, we are sure you will agree that selecting thoughtful arrangements is an important way of adding a personal touch to a service. We are proud to have supported many families in and around Clevedon to alleviate the stress of planning the perfect send-off.
We want to share a few of the benefits of choosing Kimberley’s, a local florist, to help you create poignant and personal touches.
How Can Floral Arrangements Be Used To Add A Personal Touch To A Funeral?
Flowers are the perfect way of sending messages when words are difficult at this time.
Connecting with nature is one of the oldest ways of representing life and all of its tangents. When used for funerals, flowers are a visual display of love and compassion for the deceased.
We believe that funeral flowers can be used to add personality through different styles and florals. One way of doing this is to be mindful of the selected flowers and foliage. By choosing something that represents the missing loved one, a powerful message of respect is shown and deeply connects you with the loved one. Another method of adding a more personal touch is by using letters to represent names. These also come in a variety of styles that can be found on our funeral pages, you can select colours and blooms that are the perfect fit for your wishes.
Thoughtful touches can also be added using floral displays that have double meanings. For example cushion flowers, crosses and bespoke special requests are lovely ways to select a design that is unique to the occasion. Our special requests are completely bespoke to you and your loved one, for example choosing a floral cricket bat as a respectful homage to their sporting passions. This honours the spirit and enthusiasm of the loved one, creating a deeply personal floral touch.
Finally, many floral funeral displays can be finished with different ribbons and/or materials. Ribbons can be personalised with names and selected words that are personal to you and the loved one, in a colour or finish that complements the overall funeral arrangement. Additional materials can be added into the arrangements, for example the addition of rope in our anchor tribute connected the tribute to the loved ones nautical interests. This shows some of the vast ways you can select a style or finish that has a special meaning to the deceased to add even more of a personal touch.
Why Is It Best To Select A Local Florist For Funeral Displays?
Another method of adding a personal touch to funeral arrangements is by selecting a local florist. Choosing a local florist, like ourselves at Kimberley’s, who have a rich 30 year experience of serving funeral flowers to the local area of Clevedon and beyond, means we have a prominent understanding of the local community, strong ties with a wide variety of funeral directors and an expensive knowledge of relevant floral funeral arrangements and tributes.
Local florists can also provide a more personal service, which is important when arranging flowers for such an emotional occasion. At Kimberley’s we have a shop attached to our floral studio, this space is perfect for funeral consultations. We can take the time to discuss floral arrangements in a quiet and personal atmosphere, connecting you one on one with one of our experienced florists. As well as stronger customer service and a more collaborative experience, flowers that have not had to travel for an extensive amount of time will be fresher. This is ideal not only for looking lovely during services, but so that arrangements can be enjoyed in the days and weeks after the occasion as a reminder of the day.
Finally, supporting a local business is extremely important for our local communities. We always appreciate every customer's support at Kimberley’s.
