What we compose

Flowers that suit
Highgate Cemetery.

At a burial the flowers are seen from all sides and stay outdoors, so the pieces that hold up are the ones built on a firm base: wreaths, standing tributes and graveside arrangements. Loose bouquets look right in the hand at the graveside but do not last long once they are laid on the ground.

Every tribute is composed by hand in our Bermondsey studio and delivered in unbranded packaging. The florist who composes the piece is the one who carries it to Highgate Cemetery, so a single person holds the brief from the first email to the moment the flowers are in place.

Before you order

Highgate Cemetery sets its own rules on what may be left after the service — we do not.

After a burial the tributes are normally laid on the grave and left there while they last, and the cemetery clears them once they have gone over. What each venue allows varies, so confirm it with the cemetery on 020 8340 1834 or at highgatecemetery.org, and we will compose to whatever they ask for. Our guide to flower rules at London crematoria and cemeteries covers what usually applies.

No affiliation

We are the florist,
not the cemetery.

Its address and telephone number are published here so you can arrange the service, the timing and the placement with the cemetery directly — and so you can order the flowers from whoever you choose. We simply deliver there, like we do to every cemetery in London.

For anything to do with the flowers themselves, write to us: we do not operate a telephone line, and every brief is handled in writing so nothing is lost.
