Seasonal flowers for sustainable funeral arrangements
By working with seasonal flowers, funeral arrangements automatically become more sustainable. Flowers that bloom naturally at a certain time of year require less energy to grow and also stay fresh longer during ceremonies.
Examples include:
Spring flowers such as tulips and ranunculus – fresh and full of hope
Summer flowers such as dahlias and wildflowers – vibrant and natural
Autumn flowers such as chrysanthemums and berries – warm and rich in colour
Winter flowers such as amaryllis and evergreen foliage – strong and serene
Our local florists carefully adapt each sustainable bouquet or funeral arrangement to the season, ensuring every creation follows the natural rhythm of nature.
“Florist’s Choice” – sustainable funeral arrangements
With products from the “Florist’s Choice” range, you give the florist the freedom to create a funeral arrangement using the freshest flowers available in-store at that moment.
This approach ensures:
Less waste by using flowers already in stock
Reduced transport for sourcing specific flowers
Greater creative freedom to work sustainably
The result is a unique, personal and environmentally friendly funeral arrangement, where the florist’s expertise and creativity truly shine.
Sustainable alternatives to floral foam
Traditional funeral arrangements often use floral foam (OASIS). Today, more eco-friendly alternatives are available, such as Terrabrick, allowing florists to create sustainable arrangements without compromising quality.
These materials are:
Biodegradable or compostable
Largely made from plant-based materials
Just as sturdy and effective as traditional foam
This means you are no longer limited to bouquets when choosing a sustainable option. Our florists can create innovative and environmentally conscious funeral arrangements tailored to your wishes.
Flowers with MPS-ABC certification or sustainably grown
An increasing number of growers are committed to sustainability and have their flowers certified. These labels allow our florists to consciously select flowers that are grown with respect for both the environment and working conditions.
In addition, many producers make strong efforts to grow flowers as sustainably as possible, focusing on:
Water and energy efficiency
Reducing pesticide use
Fair working conditions
Thanks to these conscious choices, you can be confident that sustainable funeral flowers from our local florists are a responsible and meaningful option.
Moving towards sustainable certification
More and more florists within the Fleurop-Interflora network are actively working towards sustainable certification. This includes efforts such as:
Reducing waste
Using more sustainable packaging
Sourcing flowers locally and seasonally
Ensuring transparency in their processes
By choosing sustainable funeral flowers, you are supporting a greener future for the floral industry.
