Choosing Sustainable Funeral Flowers in Northamptonshire




At Flowers by Iberis, we understand that choosing the right flowers for a funeral can be a deeply personal and significant gesture. As a sustainable florist based in the heart of Northamptonshire, we are committed to providing beautiful, eco-friendly options that honor your loved ones and respect our environment.


What to Send for Funeral Flowers


1. Locally Sourced Blooms:

- Seasonal Flowers: Opt for flowers that are in season locally. This reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and supports local growers.

- Native Plants: Choose native plants and flowers, which are not only sustainable but also thrive naturally in our local climate.


2. Biodegradable Arrangements:

- Natural Materials: Use arrangements that feature biodegradable materials such as natural twine, jute, or recycled paper instead of floral foam and plastic.

- Compostable Wrappings: Select flowers wrapped in compostable or recyclable materials. Avoid single-use plastics and cellophane.


3. Potted Plants and Trees:

- Living Memorials: Consider sending potted plants or small trees that can be planted in memory of the deceased. These living tributes can provide lasting beauty and environmental benefits.


4. Simple, Elegant Designs:

- Minimalist Arrangements: Sometimes, less is more. Opt for simple, elegant designs that focus on the natural beauty of the flowers rather than elaborate, resource-intensive displays.

- Eco-friendly Dyes: If color is important, choose flowers dyed with natural, non-toxic dyes to maintain sustainability.
