Casket flowers
Casket covers are very personal and extra special.
All our funeral flowers, sympathy flowers and casket covers are hand made in our Sydney studio.
We use only the best seasonal flowers to create our bespoke arrangements.
Our designs feel calm and meaningful.
Choosing casket flowers
Casket flowers can be simple and understated or abundant and expressive.
Some families choose classic white flowers, others prefer soft pastels.
We see many people choosing seasonal flowers or flower with personal significance.
We always advise that your choice should reflect the individual being remembered.
Create a tribute which feels both appropriate and meaningful.
Casket flowers or a casket cover?
There is a difference.
Casket flowers are generally smaller arrangements and are placed on the casket.
Casket covers are larger designs and are meant to cover most or all of the casket lid.
There's no right choice.
It depends on the tribute style, the casket size, and the family wishes.
TRUSTED
consider this when ordering
When choosing casket flowers, bear in mind the casket size, the service style, and the venue.
It's your choice whether your want traditional designs, softer colours, seasonal flowers, or natural garden-inspired styles.
Personal preferences and cultural traditions can guide the design.
We'll advise you on appropriate size, flower choices and colour palettes.
We will always make sure your flowers feel balanced, respectful and suitable.
Personal
If you're sure what you want, that's completely fine.
We will talk it through with you and keep things straightforward.
If our talks lead to something minimal, or something fuller, it will reflect the person you love.
Families have trusted our Woollahra studio for over forty years.
We provide funeral flowers for services across Sydney.
Most importantly, we understand the importance of timing, discretion, and making the flowers appropriate.

Funeral flowers reflect the person being remembered.
You may prefer white and green flowers, a "gardeny" look, softer seasonal colours, or flowers with personal meaning.

They might be full or half-length casket covers.
We match them with pedestal arrangements and accompanying family flowers.

Whether they're for a casket or coffin, we hand make them all in our Woollahra studio.

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.
