    About us and why we're promoting plastic-free funeral flowers

    Our directory was set up in May 2024 as a not-for-profit listing service to connect consumers with florists who can provide plastic-free, compostable flowers. Why plastic-free? Plastic floral foam underpins the majority of floral tributes in the UK and its disposal to landfill is both polluting and problematic.
