Keep Funeral Flowers

Transform your funeral flowers into a lasting keepsake with our preservation service, designed to honour and remember your loved one. We delicately preserve each bloom in robins, photo frames, hearts, and ornaments, capturing their beauty with care and compassion. Every piece is lovingly handcrafted, creating a deeply personal tribute you can treasure for a lifetime.

We don't sell funeral flowers. We preserve them.

If you're arranging a funeral, the flowers are one of the few things you get to choose. In a week or so, they'll be gone.

They don't have to be.

Send us a few of the flowers from the service afterwards and we'll preserve them by hand into something you can keep β€” set in resin, handmade in the UK, from the actual flowers themselves rather than a photograph of them.

You don't need the flowers yet

Choose them and use them at the funeral exactly as planned. Afterwards, pick out the ones that meant the most and post them to us.

You don't need to send the whole arrangement. A few blooms is enough β€” keep back the ones that meant the most and post those to us.

1. Order the keepsake you'd like
2. Use the flowers at the service, as planned
3. Post them to us afterwards
4. We photograph them the day they arrive, and keep you updated at each key stage
5. You see photos of the finished piece before we post it back to you

When someone you love passes away, the flowers that surrounded them carry a weight of meaning that's hard to put into words. Funeral flowers chosen with care, placed as a final act of love β€” these blooms deserve more than a bin bag when the service is over.

At Artisan Palace, we gently preserve funeral and memorial flowers into handcrafted resin keepsakes you can hold and treasure for the rest of your life. Every piece is made by hand in the UK β€” with the patience, care, and sensitivity that this kind of work demands.

FAQs

Yes. We preserve wedding bouquets and bridal arrangements with the same care.Β See our wedding flower preservation collection.

Yes β€” we work entirely by post and accept flowers from anywhere in the UK. No need to visit us in person.

Yes, and many people choose to arrange this on behalf of someone else. You're welcome to have the flowers sent from the family's address while you pay for the service separately β€” contact us and we'll help you coordinate it.

Sometimes, yes. Dried flowers can still be preserved in resin, though the result differs slightly from fresh preservation. Get in touch with photos if you can, and we'll let you know what's possible with your specific flowers.

Our memorial flower preservation collection covers a wide range of handcrafted pieces. The most meaningful choices for funeral flowers tend to be:

  • Resin Robin KeepsakeΒ β€” deeply resonant in UK culture, where a robin appearing is said to carry the presence of a loved one. Our most requested memorial piece.
  • Resin CrossΒ β€” a quiet, spiritual tribute. Available in several sizes, with your flowers preserved inside.
  • Tealight HoldersΒ β€” one of our most popular memorial choices. Light a candle through your preserved flowers on anniversaries, birthdays, or quiet evenings. Available in pillar, round, heart, and cylinder shapes.
  • Resin HeartΒ β€” a classic, personal keepsake. Small enough to hold in your hand, meaningful enough to keep for a lifetime.
  • Paperweight or Resin BlockΒ β€” flowers suspended in crystal-clear resin, displayed on a shelf or desk. A permanent, visible presence in your home.
  • Photo FrameΒ β€” combine your preserved flowers with a photograph of your loved one in a single keepsake.
  • Resin JewelleryΒ β€” rings, necklaces, and earrings with real memorial flower petals set inside. A way to carry someone with you every day.

Many families choose to create multiple pieces from the same flowers, so that siblings, children, or grandchildren each have something of their own to keep. This can be arranged at the time of ordering.

You don't need to travel anywhere at an already difficult time. Pack your flowers carefully and send them to us. We prepare and preserve each bloom individually before hand-casting them into your chosen keepsake, and we'll keep you updated at key stages along the way. For shadow boxes, pressed frames and resin tables, you'll see a draft before we begin.

Yes β€” and many families don't realise this is possible until after the flowers have already been discarded. Funeral flower preservation works with fresh flowers sent shortly after the service, but we regularly work with flowers that have been kept in water for longer, or that have already begun to dry. If you're unsure whether your flowers are still suitable, please contact us before sending β€” we'll always try to help, and we'll give you an honest answer.

Sooner is kinder to the flowers β€” ideally within a week of the service, sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery. We work with flowers sent from anywhere in the UK.

Your flowers are carefully dried using silica sand to retain their shape and structure, rather than being air-dried. Once fully preserved, they are arranged and set in resin or framed, depending on your chosen design β€” such as resin blocks, tealight holders, or pressed flower frames. Each piece is created by hand, layer by layer, to ensure a beautiful and long-lasting finish.

Typically 3–9 months, depending on the piece β€” smaller keepsakes are quicker, larger blocks and frames take longer. Every order is handmade in the UK, and we'll email you at key stages so you always know where your flowers are β€” drying, resin creation, sanding and finishing.

Sooner is kinder to the flowers β€” ideally within a week of the service. Fresh flowers preserve best. If it's been longer, please still get in touch; we regularly work with flowers that have already begun to dry.

Yes β€” we preserve flowers from weddings, funerals, and all meaningful occasions. Whether it’s a bridal bouquet or a tribute arrangement, each piece is treated with the same level of care and respect.

Some natural colour changes are expected as flowers dry β€” for example, whites may soften to ivory and brighter tones may deepen. Where needed, we can apply subtle colour correction to restore a more natural appearance while keeping the piece realistic.

Yes β€” you’ll receive updates at key stages, including when your flowers arrive, when they are removed from the sand with photos of the dried flowers and when your piece is completed. You’ll also see photos of your finished item before it is dispatched.

Your item will be sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery, and you’ll receive tracking details as soon as it’s dispatched. We carefully package each piece to ensure it arrives safely.

You are provided with a "Specification Sheet" that allows you to details which flowers go into what item, but we don't allow for design consultation on smaller items like tealights, as they are made upside down in silicone moulds. However items like Tables, you can request to have a draft before we start the work, however most customers allow us creative artistic flair to make meaningful items using our judgement.
