Funeral Flower Preservation
Funeral flowers hold special significance; they are a symbol of respect, love, and remembrance. However, flowers naturally fade over time. Preserving funeral flowers ensures that their beauty endures and provides a physical reminder of the ceremony and the individual who has passed away.
At The Flower Bandits, we understand the emotional weight these flowers carry. We offer a professional preservation service that transforms these delicate blooms into lasting keepsakes. We can preserve a single rose or a full bouquet, and each flower is handled with the utmost care.
Preserved Flower Keepsakes

Framed Flower Arrangements
One of our most popular offerings is the framed flower arrangement. Using the flowers from the funeral, we create a stunning display within a high-quality frame. You can choose from various sizes and styles, with the option to add a personalised inscription or photograph. The result is a beautiful, lasting tribute that can be hung in your home or given as a gift to family members.

Flower Jewellery
We can encapsulate individual flowers or petals into custom-designed jewellery pieces such as pendants, or earrings. These keepsakes allow you to carry a piece of your loved one’s memory wherever you go. Each piece is unique and handmade with love and care.

Personalised Gifts
In addition to frames and jewellery, we also create personalised gifts such as pressed flower bookmarks, keychains, and cards. These make thoughtful keepsakes for friends and family, allowing them to have a small memento of the funeral service.
Funeral Flower Packages
We offer a range of different packages to preserve your sentimental flowers.
Frankie Package
For those looking to share their preserved flowers with family members, the Frankie package includes a 14" circular frame alongside two additional 8" circular frames. This is a wonderful way to gift a meaningful keepsake to the family of the deceased, creating lasting memories for everyone.
Partial Package
The Partial package offers a more minimalistic approach. A small selection of flowers and foliage from your bouquet is pressed and displayed in an 8" circular frame. This package allows for personalisation with any written details, such as a name, date, or special message, making it a more bespoke option.
Custom Package
This Custom package allows you to request different frame shapes and sizes. Additional items, such as bookmarks and jewellery, can also be included in this package, giving you the flexibility to create something entirely unique and personal.
These carefully designed packages cater to a range of preferences, ensuring that you can find the perfect option to remember your loved one through preserved funeral flowers.
Funeral Flower Preservation FAQs
-
How long does the flower preservation process take?
The process typically takes between 12-14 weeks, depending on the complexity of the arrangement and the selected package. We prioritise memorial flowers and move straight onto framing them as soon as they're fully pressed and dried. We carefully press the flowers to ensure they retain their natural beauty, and this process requires patience and precision.

Can I use flowers from any type of bouquet for preservation?
Yes, we can preserve flowers from a variety of bouquets, including funeral arrangements. Some flowers preserve better than others, and our team can advise you on the best options for preservation. It is important to get the flowers to us as soon as possible to ensure the best results.

Can I add personalisation to my preserved flowers?
Yes, personalisation is available with all of our packages. You can add names, dates, or special messages to your frame, creating a truly unique keepsake.
