Farewell Flowers

At MaiHaven Flowers, I offer thoughtful alternatives to traditional farewell floristry. This gives families and loved ones the chance to spend quiet, reflective time together, to be involved in choosing flowers or creating tributes themselves, if they wish, and to take part in a meaningful way before the funeral.

Whether you're looking for a simple, hand-picked tribute or a thoughtfully arranged farewell piece, I offer flexible options to suit your wishes, created with care, using flowers grown with love.

I offer flexible options that support you to be as hands-on or hands-off as feels right for you and your family.

Traditional tributes are also available for those who prefer to leave everything in Jo's hands.

Picked For You & Made For You

(traditional farewell floristry)

Traditional farewell flowers with a natural touch. Share your wishes and I will take care of everything. We can discuss your wishes on the phone, or make an appointment for loved ones to come along and discuss while we are viewing the flowers. I will create a seasonal tribute using flowers grown here (and occasionally supplemented from other British growers), designed in a natural, foam-free style. Guide prices for farewell tributes below.

Pick Your Own & Leave With Me to Make For You

Spend time picking your own flowers and leave them with me to create your tribute/s. A perfect balance between being involved and allowing someone else to take care of the details.

Leave your flowers with me to arrange
Collection or local delivery available

You pay for your flowers per bucket as shown above, and for my time in creating your items at £50 per hour, which includes all sundries. We will estimate together how many buckets and how much making time you’re likely to need. Any flowers not used in your farewell items are yours to keep.

Pick Your Own, or Picked For You & Create Here Together (studio session)

Join Jo in the flower studio to pick and arrange the tribute over two days. On day one, you’ll gather the flowers in the paddocks and leave them here to be conditioned. On day two, return to the studio to create your chosen tribute/s with guidance and peaceful space to reflect. Tools, materials, and light refreshments included.

You pay for your flowers per bucket as below and for time in the studio. Studio time is:

£110 for up to 2.5 hours
£40 for each additional hour

You are not charged per item we create. Any flowers not used in your farewell tributes are yours to take home. You can bring up to 6 people with you for the flower picking and studio sessions. There is the option to add professionally made pieces as well. Take the farewell tributes away with you after your studio session or they can be delivered.

Pick Your Own, or Picked For You & Make at Home

Spend time in the flower paddocks selecting your own blooms, or let Jo gather them for you. Although much less frequently done than with wedding flowers, you can create a tribute at home, alone or with loved ones. This can be a peaceful and meaningful time before the funeral.
