Above is a 4ft (120cm) double ended casket spray which covered the top of his coffin. The gentleman was a local Norfolk boy, a keen gardener right up to the end, with a love of the countryside and connection to nature. Rather than moss and twine I used marrow and cucumbers from his garden as the base, into which we then slotted the flowers and foliage – all grown here at Stone Cottage Plants.

I understand that this may be a difficult time for you with many arrangements to make. You may wish to choose favourite colours or flowers (where possible) to include in your tribute. I can even visit a much loved garden to collect flowers if you wish, and add personal belongings to the tribute too.
