This was taken at a crematorium in Dorset.

    That's rather nice and very individual.

    It seems such a shame when someone has gone to the trouble of doing something appropriate like that only to have it put on their compost heap tonight.

    Maybe some of mourners will take veg home with them for supper. 😊

    It's certainly different @Valley Gardener. I like it  :)

    I brought the flowers home from my parents services,  split them up and gave them to the girls.  I feel it’s an awful shame to dump these every night.

    We had sheafs of flowers for my Aged Ps sendings off … and after the ‘event’ the undertaker made them up into vases and took them  to the Lovely Home where they’d been cared for so well.

    I took home the wreath from my fathers funeral and split it into vases. The flowers lasted for weeks and mum really appreciated them. I think it’s such a shame when a lot of flowers are simply left to rot. 

    For my wedding I had a basket of flowers rather than a bouquet so it could be taken to give to my grandmother who could not come to France.

    I think the wreath with veggies is great if the person was a gardener, so appropriate and probably brought a lot of smiles to those attending.
