Matters of Life and Death
In an age of “in lieu of flowers” we shouldn’t forget the power of flowers for a grieving family. Especially this time of year, the sensory impact of live flowers can actually add a healing element to the memorial service.

Wreaths are an excellent choice for a ceremony where the urn will be present or families that plan to spread the ashes.
