The poppy represents everything we stand for, remembrance, respect, and gratitude. It’s a symbol that honours all those who gave their lives and the bravery that shaped the world we live in today.

We wear our poppies with absolute pride, as a mark of respect and a promise to never forget their incredible sacrifice. ❤️

Everyone has their own special way of paying tribute to their loved one.

When we asked one family if they’d like any flowers, their reply made us smile, “the only flower he ever loved was a cauliflower!” 🥦

So we took this to our wonderful florist, and they created this incredible bespoke cauliflower wreath in his honour.

It’s unique, personal, and truly fitting, a reminder that we’ll always do our very best to accommodate your wishes and make every farewell as special as the person we’re honouring.
