Flower Laying Service

If you are unable to visit a loved one's resting place for a special occasion, flowers can be purchased on your behalf and respectfully placed at the grave.

A Thoughtful Gesture, from Anywhere

Some dates are difficult to be away from. A birthday, a wedding anniversary, a christening, Mother's Day or Father's Day — the kind of days when not being able to visit can feel worse than usual.

You tell me the date and the sort of arrangement you have in mind, and the flowers are purchased accordingly and placed at the grave with care. A simple bunch, a seasonal pot plant, or something more formal — whatever feels right for the person and the plot.

Photographs can be sent afterwards, so you know it was done, and done properly.

How the cost works

Flowers are purchased on your behalf, so the cost simply follows what you'd like — the flowers, plus a small amount for the visit and placing them. Rather than print a fixed price list, I'd always talk it through first so there are no surprises for either of us.

Remembrance & Christmas

Through the Colder Months Too

Autumn and winter are when plots can start to look tired. Remembrance Sunday, Christmas and New Year are also the times families most often ask for something to be placed.

Poppy wreaths, evergreen arrangements or hardy winter plants can all be discussed — and flower laying can be combined with a tidy-up visit so the grave looks right on the day itself.
