Yesterday a family popped in to our store to discuss funeral flowers for their loved one. They said the last time they used the funeral director, they went with the in-house florist and the finish was underwhelming. We talked it through, and it struck me that many families who are grieving may not think to look elsewhere for their loved one’s final goodbye. So we made this infographic to show where the value is lost and how to keep it in the flowers.
Van Arthur has always been 100% independent and always will be. Relay companies have approached us many times to join, offering to waive fees and cutting initial commission. We always say no. Those fees come from your order, and the truth is; you won’t ever receive the full value that you’ve paid for. Independence keeps your budget in premium stems and fuller, more generous designs.
Here is the truth, simply put:
• No middlemen or referral cuts
• More of your budget in the flowers
• Clear sizing you can trust
• Direct brief with the florist who makes it
• Timed delivery with your funeral director
• Photo confirmation on request
We are a local, independent florist serving Harrow, Pinner, Northwood, Ruislip, and Hatch End. If you are arranging flowers, choose a florist you can speak to directly. Keep your budget in the flowers, not in fees.
