farewell flowers
Arranging flowers for a funeral is never just another order.
Often it's one of the last things a family can do for someone they love.
It needs to feel considered, calm and right for the person being remembered.
Here, at Susan Avery, we create funeral flowers, wreaths, casket flowers and memorial tributes for services across Sydney.
Our team works from our Woollahra studio using seasonal flowers selected for their beauty, freshness and suitability for the occasion.
Some families know exactly what they want while others come to us unsure.
Both are completely normal.
We will guide you gently through the choices of colours and flowers and help you decide the best for church, chapel, funeral home, cemetery, home or memorial venue.

We have been based in Woollahra for ove 40 years.
Funeral and memorial flowers are some of the most important work we do.
Families come to us because they want elegant flowers, but not showy.
We handle the practical side properly.
When you talk to us, you speak to someone who understands the weight of the day.
Wreath, casket or standing tribute?
Different flowers suit different parts of the service.
A wreath is a traditional circular tribute, often sent by family members, friends, clubs, companies or community groups.
It can be made in white, pastel, bright or native flowers.
A casket cover or casket spray is usually chosen by close family and designed for the casket top. These can be full and formal, loose and garden-like, or very simple.
A standing tribute or pedestal arrangement works well in a church, chapel, funeral home or memorial space where flowers need to be seen clearly from across the room.
