FLORAL TIES
We make floral arrangements for each deceased individually, according to what you tell us about him when we prepare the speech: what he was like, what he loved, what he hated - the florist is happy and honest to play with it.
No two bouquets are the same, and what's more, we make them seasonal and from flowers that haven't flown halfway around the world, but are beautiful and presentable - and they'll last.
Ribbons with text are made on request according to the specifications. Ribbons are generally abandoned, especially by the younger generation - it is quite non-ecological.
What is our recommendation?
Do not overdo it, a large part of the guests will bring flowers (it's like bringing a bottle of wine to a visit). So there will probably be plenty of flowers. And sometimes it makes us sad to see them thrown away right after the funeral...
What about flowers after the funeral?
We strive to be sustainable and never throw away flowers after the ceremony. the bereaved can take them home (nothing weird about that) or decorate the grave. If they don't want them, we have arranged for churches that are happy to use the flowers as decorations (except during Lent when churches are not decorated). If our ceremony is in a church or chapel, they will often use the flowers right there. In some churches they can even use mourning wreaths because they have graves right in the church. Alternatively, we can place the flowers ourselves in the cemetery - most cemeteries have a common grave or a large cross... The last option is to decorate the memorials to the fallen, which are found in almost every village.
EXAMPLES OF FLORAL TIES WITH A STORY
-
Bouquet for Mr. Vladimir
Jawa was the brand that played a major role in Mr. Vladirir's life. His love for gardening and nature took over from his father, so we added plants that are commonly found in gardens to the bouquet.
-
Wreath for Mrs. Eva
Cherries, pears, raspberries, poppies, blackberries and who knows what else in a wreath for an enthusiastic gardener Eva from Třebívlice near Lovosice.
-
A flower to the urn for Mr. Jan
Mr. Jan was a trained woodworker and this trade led him to a love of wood. With his family he likes to go on trips to nature and the mountains, so we incorporated wooden elements and meadow flowers into the flower.
-
Binding for Mr. Joseph
Josef was an architect, he liked functionalist austere buildings. The family's request was a farewell without ornaments or golden details and a bouquet to match the concrete urn. The farewell took place in autumn, so we chose earthy colours and natural seasonal elements.
-
A flower for Mr. Bohumil
Mr. Bohumil was a plant doctor, interested in history, liked to listen to music, was sociable and cheerful, travelled and liked to work in the garden. That's why we chose colourful flowers and plants commonly found in the garden.
-
A flower for Mrs. Zuzana
The ombudsman of the Czech Post, Mrs. Zuzana, had a small envelope with a crocheted heart in her bouquet. Because of the cheerful farewell and the planting of the apple tree, we chose wild flowers.
