Proudly Remembered is a casket spray built entirely from South African flowers, king proteas at its heart, pink proteas and fiery pincushions around them, softened with cream roses, white snapdragons and fed fynbos greenery. Our florists design each one by hand in our Claremont studio, where we have created funeral and sympathy tributes since 1999, laid long and low to rest gently over a casket.

King proteas anchor the spray, one pale and regal at the centre, others blushed deep pink, long a symbol of courage and lasting memory. Around them sit cerise proteas and bright orange pincushions, the fynbos flowers that survive the fires and return, which makes them a quiet emblem of resilience. Cream roses and white snapdragons bring softness and light, and it is all laid through cedar, leucadendron and fine pink erica, so the greenery feels alive rather than like filler.

They survive the fynbos fires and grow back, so they have come to stand for resilience, courage and lasting memory, which makes them a proud, personal choice for someone who loved this country. They are also hardy and long-lasting, so the tribute holds through the service and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fabulous Flowers and Gifts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48038113149158,"sku":"CEEPORT1976S","price":4965.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/1599\/files\/ProudlyRemembered-FabulousFlowersandGifts1.webp?v=1784898615","url":"https:\/\/www.fabulousflowers.co.za\/products\/proudly-remembered","provider":"Fabulous Flowers and Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
