A Greener Goodbye: Sustainable Funeral Flowers That Last

Updated: Jul 31

Funeral flowers have long been a way to express love, remembrance, and respect, but traditional fresh tributes come at a high environmental cost. Most fresh flowers used in the UK are imported, used for just a single day, and then discarded. At Forever-flowers.co.uk, we believe there's a better, more meaningful way to honour your loved ones—one that leaves a lasting legacy, not landfill waste.


The Hidden Cost of Funeral Flowers


Over 80% of flowers in the UK funeral industry are flown in from countries like Kenya, Ethiopia, and Colombia. These long-haul imports require:

  • Carbon-heavy air freight

  • Cold storage during transit

  • Water-intensive farming and pesticides

  • Excessive packaging


As for floral arrangements that are used for just one day before being thrown away. This process contributes significantly to waste and greenhouse gas emissions, placing additional strain on an already carbon-intensive industry.


Our Sustainable Solution: A Tribute That Keeps on Giving


At Forever-flowers.co.uk, we offer a unique hire service tailored specifically to the funeral sector, designed to reduce environmental impact while preserving dignity and beauty.


Here’s how it works:

  • Beautiful, Life-like Artificial Flowers

    Our high-quality artificial flowers are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing; elegant, tasteful, and suited for any tribute.


  • Hire, Don’t Buy

    Rather than buying fresh flowers destined for landfill, families and funeral directors can hire stunning floral tributes that are carefully cleaned, reconfigured, and reused.


  • Fully Managed by Us

    We work directly with funeral directors, ensuring seamless delivery and collection. Families can focus on saying goodbye, we take care of the rest.


  • Reconfigurable and Reusable

    After each service, stems are thoughtfully refreshed and repurposed for future tributes. This dramatically reduces floral waste and cuts down the carbon footprint of every arrangement.


A Legacy of Sustainability and Love


Choosing artificial flowers doesn’t mean compromising on quality or meaning. In fact, it can enhance the message of your tribute - a conscious, thoughtful decision that reflects care for the planet and for future generations.

  • A single tribute can be reused multiple times

  • Designs are flexible and customisable

  • No pollen, no wilting, no waste

  • Eco-conscious and allergy-friendly


With Forever-flowers.co.uk, you’re choosing more than flowers. You’re choosing a lasting legacy, a tribute that lives on beyond the day of the funeral.


Choose a Beautiful, Responsible Farewell


As the funeral industry looks to reduce its environmental impact, sustainable alternatives like artificial flower hire are more important than ever. When you choose Forever-flowers.co.uk, you're supporting a greener future, while still delivering comfort, beauty, and heartfelt remembrance.


Say goodbye with grace. Honour with care. Choose a tribute that keeps on giving.
