Garden of Grace

Garden of Grace: Funeral and Memorial Service Flowers

Some goodbyes deserve something grand. Garden of Grace is a large, standing tribute of funeral service flowers, a garden-style gather of soft pink king proteas, pink roses, white chrysanthemums, cheerful gerberas and sunny blooms, set in flowing eucalyptus and fresh greenery. Built as a flat-back arrangement, it sits beautifully against a wall or altar at a service, offering comfort and dignity where words fall short. Our florists hand-craft each one in our Claremont studio, and we have been trusted with flowers across Cape Town and Johannesburg since 1999. Find more in our funeral flowers, our wider funeral range and our gentle sympathy flowers collection.

A garden gathered into one tribute. Grand enough to say what words cannot.

What Is in the Arrangement

Garden of Grace is built like a garden in full bloom, with soft pink king proteas at its heart, surrounded by pink roses, white chrysanthemums, bright gerberas and seasonal blooms, all held in flowing eucalyptus and greenery. Because we craft it from the freshest flowers, the exact blooms shift a little with the season while the abundant, garden-style feel stays the same. You will find the star blooms in our proteas and white flowers ranges, with more in our roses. Our gerbera daisy blog is a lovely read on one of its cheeriest blooms.

What Funeral and Memorial Flowers Mean

Funeral and memorial flowers are a way of saying what is hard to put into words, offering comfort, honouring a life, and standing as a mark of respect and love. A grand, garden-style tribute like this speaks of a life richly lived and warmly remembered, which is why so many families choose colour and abundance over something sombre. If you are unsure what to write on the card, our condolence messages guide offers gentle wording to help, and you will find more thoughtful pieces in our sympathy gifts range and our pure elegance bouquet.

A Standing Tribute for the Service

Because Garden of Grace is flat-backed and built on height, it is made to stand at a service, against a wall, beside the altar, or at the graveside, where it reads beautifully from the front. It works as a centrepiece tribute from the family, or a shared gesture from friends and colleagues, and suits churches, chapels, funeral homes and memorial venues alike. For other service and event pieces, see our event flowers, our all-white Tranquility arrangement, and our Heavenly Grace white wreath. Our proteas blog shares more on the meaningful South African bloom at its centre.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day.

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.
