caring
Funeral flowers reflect the person being remembered and the atmosphere of the service.
Some families prefer white and green flowers. Others want "gardeny" looks, softer seasonal colours, or flowers that carry other personal meanings.
Our casket covers are designed for chapel services, churches, private funerals and graveside ceremonies across Sydney. They may be full-length or half-length casket covers.
We match them with pedestal arrangements and accompanying family flowers.
hand made
Full casket covers are designed to sit across the entire length of the casket.
They are generally selected for larger services and where flowers form a central part of the ceremony.
At Susan Avery we use seasonal flowers and foliage arranged with depth and natural movement rather than rigid formal structure.
Colours vary from soft to bold and each arrangement is hand-made in our Woollahra studio.
understanding
We will guide you through flower choices, casket cover sizing, colour palettes and delivery arrangements.
Our reputation for helping simplify decisions during a difficult time is well known.
Our role is to make the process clear and manageable while creating flowers that feel appropriate and meaningful.

PERSONAL
Flowers and colour palettes to reflect personal preferences, family requests or the tone of the service.
I wanted to thank you for the beautiful arrangement you did for my Dads funeral earlier this week.
Not only were the flowers stunning, my family and I were truly touched at the very personal approach that you took - listening patiently to the kinds of flowers and colours that Dad would have liked, and always at our pace.
It's been a very challenging time for our family, but having a floral tribute that was fitting of our Dad was one thing that was absolutely eased by your kind, thoughtful and personal approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. We do this all the time.
Yes. We deliver directly to funeral homes, churches, cemeteries and memorial venues across Sydney.
Yes. Absolutely. We work within your preferred flowers and colour palette bearing in mind the seasonal availability.
As much notice as possible so we can source the flowers for you. Where possible, we recommend ordering at least 24–48 hours before the service. We often assist with shorter notice depending on flower availability and delivery timing.
Yes. All arrangements are specifically designed to meet your needs. We will discuss the suitable options with you.
Yes. We can prepare all that is needed for the funeral venue as well as to dress the casket. This includes casket covers, entrance flowers, memorial arrangements, urn flowers and family tribute flowers. All delivered and installed on time.
Sympathy flowers go to the family, to their home or workplace, as a personal gesture of condolence. Funeral flowers are arrangements sent to the service itself: the chapel, funeral home, or graveside. Susan Avery handles both, and we're happy to talk through which is right for you.
Any time in the first few weeks after a death is appropriate. A lot of people send in the days leading up to the service; others wait until the week after, when things have quietened down and the family is more on their own. Both are thoughtful. If you're not sure, within the first week is a safe guide.
All flowers are appropriate. It's more about the colour scheme and ease of display. We recommend calm colours and sending the arrangements in a vase.
For a home delivery, yes something that arrives in its own vessel is much better than a loose bouquet that needs a vase. A family dealing with a bereavement has enough going on.
Keep it short and use their name. Something direct and simple such as "We're so sorry. [Name] was loved by so many people who knew him/her" says more than a longer message that's searching for words. We hand-write all sympathy cards at the studio, so just give us your message and we'll take care of it.
