Thoughtful funeral flowers, inspired by nature
by Unruly flowers

Unruly Flowers was started by Katie Musgrave, inspired by her lifelong love of flowers. Her beautiful studio is situated in The Poetic Garden, next to Poetic Endings in Forest Hill. Katie specialises in using British grown flowers, valuing their vibrancy, textures, colours and scents. Her style is free and wild and she loves playing with colour, letting the flowers speak for themselves. Katie is conscious of how arrangements are made, and only uses methods which are kind to the environment.

Katie will guide you through choosing unique and special farewell flowers. You’ll find some inspiration and ideas below, but Katie also loves working with you to design your perfect tribute, welcoming creativity and individuality in whatever form that takes.

flowers for the coffin

Featured

Coffin spray

A spray goes on top of the coffin as a way to adorn it with flowers and foliage. This arrangement can either be planted in a wicker basket or a natural bespoke base. These designs are at least 3ft with trailing foliage, and created to include your favourite colours and plants.
Recommended size from 3ft to 6ft, depending on the size of the coffin.
3ft - £300
4ft - £400
5ft - £500

Sheaf

A sheaf is like a bouquet, but is hand-tied to allow the flowers to lie flat on the coffin. It can be created with your choice of colours, flowers and scents. It can also be created as three separate tied bouquets wound together, so it can be untied and taken home afterwards.
Simple sheaf (2ft) - £200
3ft - £300
4ft - £375
5ft - £450

Coffin garland

A garland of flowers and foliage to go around the coffin, incorporating your choice of colours and scents.
Please note - garlands are only suitable for natural coffins.
Around £350 (£25 per foot)

Floral/foliage coffin blanket

A coffin blanket is made from a natural flexible frame with flowers and foliage delicately weaved through. It lays on the coffin, and is a beautiful and gentle alternative to sprays and sheaves.
From £400

Bespoke coffin arrangements

If you would like to create something totally unique with flowers or plants, Katie can support you with creativity, imagination and practical know-how.

A few ideas - creating a meadow of flowers to surround the coffin, entwining glittering fairy lights into the coffin spray, taking inspiration from a beloved garden, a cherished painting or favourite fabric.

If it’s possible, Katie will work with you to make it happen.

Flower stems/herbs for rituals

You may want to have a basket of single stem flowers, foliage or herb bundles so everyone can place something onto the coffin, or throw into the grave.

PLANTED ARRANGEMENTS - PLANT AGAIN

Planted arrangements are made up of a variety of seasonal plants and can be made in different shapes - wreath, spray, heart and nest. The arrangements are designed to be planted again. Katie combines plants, bulbs and herbs already in full bloom with other plants, bulbs and herbs that will flourish in the weeks after the funeral.

Plants are wrapped and placed in a way that is easy to remove and plant again. All these arrangements are totally bespoke. The colour and exact plants can be changed to reflect your choices and the season.
