“Gave us all much comfort”

Read the family’s words

Hi Susan,

Thank you so much! The flowers looked beautiful and gave us all much comfort during the service. It certainly was a tough day for everyone but, for me personally, organising the flowers was one of the last things I would ever be able to do for him and I have found much peace in knowing that he had the most wonderful floral tribute to send him on his way.

Thank you for your care and compassion and THANKYOU especially for having such an amazing floristic talent! 🙏

“Finding Susan and her team was a Godsend”

Read the family’s words

Planning a funeral after the sudden death of one’s daughter is dreadful at any time but add to this having to travel to Sydney ( a city I haven’t lived in for many decades) from Canada during Covid restrictions made matters 1000 worse. Much of the funeral arrangements needed to be made whilst myself and older daughter were held in 2 weeks hotel quarantine.

Finding Susan and her team was a Godsend.
Immediately [when] we spoke Susan was warm and friendly, she understood what we were looking for in floral tributes.

My daughter wanted to have a flower frame made for the portrait of her little sister that was to be featured at the funeral. Susan and her lovely husband Charles achieved exactly this, and we were delighted with the results.

The flowers I requested for the casket matched those of the “flower frame” and were generous, beautiful and met my budget.

We recommended Susan to our friends (many international) several have told me they called and like us found Susan and her team very kind and helpful in fulfilling their requests.
So in conclusion if you are looking for a stylish florist, who treats customers with warm individual attention and doesn’t disappoint you can do no better than Susan Avery Flowers and Events.

Remembering a life well lived

Personal tributes,
thoughtfully created

For Bob Hawke, a much-loved former prime minister of Australia, we sourced beautiful Australian native flowers in keeping with his family’s wishes. For a dearly missed client, we created an arrangement of tulips she had previously enjoyed ordering from our store.

For another client, we created a tribute from individual posies, each with its own personal card message. Each posy contained flowers closely associated with the loved one and was given to friends and family as a memento after the service.

Sympathy flowers in Sydney

Finding words during a time of grief can be difficult. Sending flowers to a funeral or memorial service, or to someone’s home, is a thoughtful way to express condolences and let them know you are thinking of them.

From a simple bouquet of roses to a seasonal mixed arrangement or a custom-designed wreath or spray, our florists can guide you towards flowers that suit the occasion and your budget. We can help with a personal message and your choice of colours and flowers, subject to seasonal availability.
