A Farewell Garden by Driftwood and Daisies
With over 30 years in floristry, my work today is largely centred around teaching and sharing my love of flowers through my flower school. Yet I have always felt a deep connection to creating farewell tributes, and recently I find myself drawn back to making beautiful, full-length double-ended coffin sprays for those final moments of goodbye.
I now dedicate myself exclusively to this one form of tribute, a double ended coffin spray. In doing so I can give each arrangement my complete care and attention. Every design is created with sensitivity and intention, choosing flowers that truly reflect the person being remembered—their character, their story, their life.
Each stem is placed with natural fluidity, allowing the arrangement to move softly and gently as it is carried. I think of each piece as part of a farewell garden, a personal and meaningful tribute where the beauty and life of flowers honour a life lived. Getting this right matters deeply to me—it is a quiet privilege to create something so significant, made with the utmost care, respect, and thoughtfulness.
Below are a selection of tributes I have created over the years. As a guide, a length of 3–5 feet creates a beautifully balanced design, with prices starting from £50 per foot, depending on your choice of flowers. I can dress wicker coffins at their place of rest.
Many flowers are available year-round, so if there is something meaningful you would like to include, please do ask.
Please contact me by phone or email to see if I am available and start discussions.
I hope I can help you say your farewell with love, care, and flowers.

I used Driftwood and Daisies to arrange our families floral tribute for our Aunts funeral casket. We were not local so everything had to be done by email and phone. The service provided by the owner – Jo Parker - was prompt, efficient and very helpful. The flowers were beautiful and the photos of them provided for us as we could not attend the funeral were excellent. Most importantly, Jo patiently and kindly put up with my extra phone calls generated by my panic at having to arrange matters at a long distance. Highly recommended.... M. Blake
Gorgeous funeral and special occasion creations. Very highly recommended. J. Mist
Thank you so much for the flowers for my dad's funeral, they were absolutely beautiful and many people stopped to admire them and even ask where they were from. I can't thank you enough for everything you did including delivering them all the way to Romsey. H Wort
