I would like to say 2 Big Thank you’s today to Luke Warren for fixing 1 of my van’s in pronto time and secondly to DST Shutters who came and rescued me when my key fob decided to close and not reopen my shutters and locked me out.
It’s been the day from hell 😢 and I’m glad it’s home time !!!
The hammer is for smashing the fob to pieces 🤣🤣

Repurposing Funeral Arrangements .

A service I’m going to start offering which I’ve done a few times but never publicised is deconstructing the coffin spray and making into jar arrangements to be given to family afterwards.
I first did this for a family member and gave them to family for them to remember and take home and a posy arrangement taken to a family grave.

There was no waste and the flowers repurposed were warmly received.

If this is something you would like to do when ordering a coffin spray we can discuss your preferences.

I only do this with coffin sprays that I make and there will be a minimal charge for this service.
