One of the things we hear most often when families are organising funeral flowers is, “I don’t know where to start.”
When someone passes, choosing flowers can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve never had to do it before.
People want to honour their loved one properly, but don’t always know what’s traditional, what’s appropriate or what’s needed.

To make this process clearer and gentler, we’ve introduced a set funeral package that covers the pieces families most commonly ask for.

Each package includes:
• A casket spray
• A wreath
• A posy arrangement

These are the foundations of most funeral tributes and help families feel confident they have everything they need.

Packages start from £329, with a choice of colours and flowers so you can make the arrangements feel personal and reflective of the person you’re honouring.

Our team will guide you through every step, explain the options and help you create something meaningful, beautiful and respectful.

If you need support or have questions, you’re welcome to message us or visit the shop.

We’re here to make this part of the process as simple and thoughtful as possible. You can speak with us at a time that suits you using WhatsApp on +2035833084

❄️ Why do December Flowers Hit Different?

There’s something about flowers in December that just feels different. It could be the cold air outside, or the lights in every window. Maybe it’s the fact that everyone is one minor inconvenience away from saying “I deserve something nice today.”

But December flowers have their own magic. Let’s break it down:

1. Flowers last longer this time of year.
Cold weather is a florist’s best friend. The walk home becomes a natural fridge. Your bouquet lives its best life because the heating isn’t blasting nonstop. (Unless you have Caribbean settings at home. In which case, ignore this.)

2. The colours hit harder.
Deep reds. Winter whites. Soft nudes. Forest greens.
In summer they look pretty. In December they look cinematic.

3. Gifting feels more meaningful.
People don’t just buy flowers. They buy a moment. A pick-me-up. A thank you. A “we survived this year.” A small burst of joy for someone who probably needs it.

4. Homes look better with flowers in winter.
More dinners. More guests. More evenings indoors. A bouquet on the table instantly makes you feel like an organised adult, even if the rest of the house has other opinions.

5. December makes people stop overthinking.
All year we hear “I don’t know what she likes.” In December, people walk in, look around, breathe in the pine and say, “Just make something christmassy.” And that always ends well.

Here’s the truth:
December flowers don’t just decorate a room.
They change the mood of the entire space.

If you need something for your home, your workplace, or someone who deserves a moment of joy, pop in.
The shop is full of fresh winter blooms and every day the deliveries look incredible.

➡️ SWIPE! The wreath on the door is the first thing your guests will see this Christmas. It announces itself before you even open the door. It says you’re ready for the season… even if the rest of the house absolutely isn’t.

A lot of people are surprised when they find out how much work goes into a proper handmade wreath. Every wreath starts with a humble copper frame. From there we build a fresh moss base, it’s added layer by layer, and wired in by hand. The moss holds water and feeds the foliage for weeks, which is why our wreaths last long after the first panic-clean of December.

🍃 Then comes the foliage: blue pine, flat fir, Nordmann, skimmia… whatever winter wants to give us. Again each stem is wired in individually. That’s what gives a wreath its shape, weight, movement and longevity. It takes time, patience and skilled hands to get it looking balanced. Once the foliage is set, we add the details: dried fruit, berries, baubles, cinnamon, ribbon. Little touches that feel festive without drifting into full Christmas chaos. It’s a slow process, but they’re made properly, the traditional way, with fresh materials that hold beautifully through December.

🌲We have 14-inch and 16-inch wreaths available, starting from £60. You can choose one from the shop or have one made for your door. And because each one is made by hand, every wreath is 100% unique. No two look the same…
That’s part of the charm (and occasionally part of the chaos).

🏠 A good wreath makes the whole house feel ready for the season… even if the inside is still pretending.

Right, it’s December 4th. The advent calendars are already missing doors. If you’re still planning to do the whole “drive to a muddy lot, shove a 7ft tree into a hatchback, and vacuum pine needles until Easter” routine... stop.

Honestly, there is no need to cover your children in pine needles just for the sake of tradition. There is a better way.

I have learnt a thing or two in ten years of Nordmann Firs, sap on my hands, and hauling trees around Harrow, that I would like to share with you. We used to do it the old-fashioned way, but a few years ago we realised; the British weather waits for no one, and frankly, your car interior (and your kids) deserve better.

So we switched to the “Doorstep Choice” model, and we haven’t looked back.

If you’ve never used us before, here is the drill:
• You book a slot online.
• ⁠We turn up. Not with just one tree, but a van full of them.
• ⁠You choose. You stand on your driveway and point at the one you like best, and that’s the one you get.
• ⁠We sort the rest. We cut the base and mount it in the stand.

No pine needles in your upholstery and no arguing in the freezing cold.

This is officially our busiest week of the season. The van is out non-stop, so if you want to claim a slot before the weekend rush clears us out, now is the time.

We have a really fantastic and dedicated tree delivery team, who are working their socks off this week to make sure every delivery is perfect. They go above and beyond, and seeing the smiles on your faces (and your little ones’!) makes all the hard work worth it.

We’ve been in North Harrow for more than 10 years now. Long enough to see the station commuters age in real time. Yet people still walk in weekly asking if we “just opened.” So at this point, nothing shocks us.

Today we served an older gentleman who walked in wearing a majestic red suit. He had a fantastic white beard which he was absolutely rocking. He had this calm, jolly energy about him… but also like he was on a very tight schedule.

He wandered around, complimented our Christmas garland, asked what time we close on the 24th (it's 4pm btw), and spent an oddly long time inspecting a poinsettia like it was a rare species. Didn’t buy anything. Just gave it a serious nod.

Anyway, he rushes out… and leaves a single boot outside the shop. A big old polished thing. Looked like it had travelled.

We tried to catch him, but we didn’t get any contact details. He only gave his name as “Nick.” If you know him or see him, please let him know we have his boot in the safely in the shop!

Imagination… Vs. REALITY!
Every December we all picture the same scene.
A family walking through a snowy forest, choosing the perfect Christmas tree, cutting it down themselves and dragging it home like something out of a Christmas movie.

It looks magical.
It feels magical.
But let’s be honest… that is not how London works. At all….

We are not a few minutes from the Highlands.
We are not trekking through pine forests on our lunch break.
And your car does not deserve the trauma of a real tree bouncing around in the back.

Behind the scenes, the real story is very different. Our trees come from proper farms. They are cut, graded, sorted, netted and stacked long before they ever reach your living room. We bring them into our warehouse, handle the stock, prep the deliveries and load the van at sunrise so you don’t have to think about any of that.

That is why we do Christmas trees the way we do.

You pick your tree from your doorstep.
You stay warm.
Your car stays clean.
Your house gets the perfect tree without the chaos.

And when January comes and everyone suddenly remembers how heavy a dead tree is, we offer a full collection and recycling service too. No dragging it down the road. No needles everywhere. No fuss.

Christmas is meant to feel magical.
We just take care of the parts that aren’t.

If you want a tree delivered this year, you can order online now at www.christmasdelivery.co.uk

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.

Need guidance today? Call 0203 583 3084 or message us for a quick call back.

A florist’s choice bouquet isn’t guesswork. It’s graft.

Every single flower that lands in our shop gets stripped, cut, checked. Bruised head? Gone. Bent stem? Gone. Only the strongest, freshest, most beautiful stems make it to the bench. Then it’s down to us; no recipe card, no conveyor belt, just experience, instinct and hours of practice.

We tie bouquets the way chefs plate food. Fresh ingredients in every morning, handled with care, built into something that looks effortless but takes years to master. And we do it by hand, one bouquet at a time.

We’re not a factory. We’re not shipping boxes of “one size fits all.” Every order is personal. Every stem has intent. Every bouquet is one we’d be proud to walk up someone’s path and hand over ourselves.

That’s what florist’s choice means at Van Arthur

Have you ever bought flowers from a petrol station or supermarket and wondered why they barely lasted the weekend? Here’s what most people don’t realise; those flowers have been on quite the journey.

Think of it like buying bread. Fresh from the bakery this morning? Perfect. Sitting on a shelf for a week? Not so much.

The difference is in the supply chain.
Most high street flowers travel through multiple hands - growers to wholesalers to distribution centers to stores. Each stop means more time, more handling, less freshness.

At Van Arthur, we cut out the middleman drama.

🌍 Our flowers arrive fresh from growers around the world - Kenya, Ecuador, Holland, Uganda. Not weekly deliveries that sit around. Not “whenever we get around to it.” Fresh imports based on what’s best that day.

We collect them, bring them straight to our Harrow shop, and keep them in perfect conditions at 6-10°C until they’re arranged for you.

Here’s the Van Arthur difference:
Your flowers were probably growing in their natural climate just days ago. They’ve been properly cared for every step of the way
No sitting in warehouse corners or supermarket stockrooms
Arranged by experienced florists who know how to handle them
After 10 years serving Harrow and the surrounding areas, we’ve learned that freshness isn’t just about the flowers - it’s about the entire process. That’s why our arrangements last longer, look better, and make people smile for days, not hours.

Fresh flowers. Global sourcing. Local care. That’s the Van Arthur way. 🌿
