Florist News

Only made about 150 casket sprays this year none have gone to ground. As for profit, I produce in an area with it,s share of poverty they still want flowers for there loved ones.I,m proud to do good work for a good price not just take extra profit

OOps sorry Chris, just looked it isn't naylor boards that I use, it's Val Spicer Kasket tops. I love using them because you can literally fill them with flowers and foliage. I only use fresh flowers in my Funeral work as our flowers are guaranteed for 5 days, so these big Kasket tops are perfect for keeping the flowers fresh.

oops only just noticed your post Alan, no offence intended. I just prefer to use the larger caskets oasis which are considerably more expensive than using 4 oasis blocks. The suggestion was not that you are a cheap skate, or a profit mongerer, it was just warning other florists that if they chose to go for a Val Spicer kasket top it would cost them considerably more money which would cut their profit margin. We all know that squeezed as we are the profit margins are pretty narrow anyway.

Re above - on the gallery piccies someone had posted a funeral spray in two halves. Never knew you could do them like this. So each half is a mirro image of the other one and joined together in the middle. I suppose once completed would be heavy so wouldn't slide of the coffin, however, I would hate to see if the funeral cortege had to do an emergency stop one half thrusted to the front and one to the back

No seriously is there another method of doing these than the casket spray.

Birkenhead, eh! My fella's from Claugton Village (the posh part or so he says?),

lulu

but arnt some f.d's careless buggers, grabbing and bashing the flowers that we have taken our creative time to construct !!!!

agree flower! The sorriest sight is a hearse driving past with all the little flower faces pressed up against the windows!

think we should give the fd's care cards....this is how to hold a oasis spray...

I know the F.D,s are hard work but they must hate us.We send all these efin flowers,we expect them to find room for them move them around,put them in cars all nice and pretty, answer all our stupid questions on the phone that we should of asked when we took the order......... all this and more and it was YOU who took the sale off them so they do same work but don,t get their 20%

Hi rainbow no offence how much are they? I sell casket sprays from £10 per foot most people buy at £20-£25-£30 per foot.I don,t sell to any F.D,s but I sell lots all best stuff at best price

Here out FD strap/tie down all coffin sprays, they are like heavy elastic luggage straps which are black and have a flat hook on each end which hooks on to handle of coffin and onto side of tray/base of item
