Funeral tributes,
made with the family

Funeral tributes (casket sprays, wreaths and service arrangements) designed with the family and delivered in coordination with your funeral home across Oamaru.

The service

The main piece deserves the most care

A casket spray or family tribute is the piece everyone sees. It should carry the person inside it. We sit down with the family (in person or by phone), ask who they were and what mattered to them, and build from there: a gardener gets garden flowers, a farmer gets the land's palette, a quiet person gets something quiet.

We work directly with Oamaru's funeral homes on timing and placement, so nothing lands on the family to organise. On the day, the tribute arrives early, is placed properly, and gets photographed for family who couldn't attend.

Family pieces include
  • A design conversation, unhurried
  • Direct coordination with the funeral home
  • Placement at the venue before the family arrives
  • Photo for family who can't attend

How it runs

With the family, every step

Gently, clearly, and at your pace.

The conversation

Who they were, what they loved, what the family wants the flowers to say.

The design

We propose the piece: palette, stems, any personal elements.

Coordination

We confirm timing and placement with the funeral home directly.

The making

Built by Ren the day before, from the freshest stems we have.

The day

Delivered early, placed properly, photographed for absent family.

Who makes it

Made by Ren, start to finish

Family tributes are Ren's work alone. The conversation, the design, the making. It's the slowest work in the shop and deliberately so: the piece that's photographed most is the one she obsesses over most.

She'll also be honest about what grief-budget buys. If $280 does the job as well as $400, she'll say that.

Questions

Tribute questions

Anything we missed? Send it over. A florist answers, not a bot.

Forty-eight hours is comfortable. Less is usually possible, ring us. We hold back our best stems of the week for family pieces, so the short-notice ones still look right.

Yes: garden stems, a piece of ribbon, small mementos wired in. We've included secateurs, fishing flies and a knitting needle over the years. If it matters to the family, it can usually be done.

We do: timing, access, placement, all of it. You give us the funeral home's name and the service time; nothing else lands on the family.

Whatever the family wants. Pieces can travel to the graveside, be separated into posies for family members, or returned to the home. We'll build it so separating is easy if that's the plan.

Let us carry this part for the family.

Ring +64 7 578 3264. Ren answers these calls herself. Or send the details through the form and we'll call you.
