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.

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:

Hire, Don’t Buy
