funerals &
end of life.
There is no single way to remember someone, and their flowers shouldn’t feel prescribed either. We begin with the person themselves - the flowers they loved, colours they wore, garden they tended, season they always looked forward to, or the simple details that feel most like them.
From casket flowers and service arrangements to more individual tributes, April & Fritz creates each piece with sensitivity and intention. Where possible, flowers or foliage from a family garden can be incorporated, adding something deeply personal to the design. Our role is to listen carefully, guide gently and create flowers that feel true to the person being remembered and meaningful to those gathered around them.
FAQs.
-
Every funeral or end of life service will be different.
Based on our experience, we recommend setting aside 10-15% of your overall allocation for flowers.
However, if you wish for florals to be a significant and memorable part of the service, we suggest allocating 25-30% to make an impact.
We encourage you to download our free investment guide to get a sense of what is achievable for you.
Please note we have a minimum spend of $1,500 for funerals.

We send you a short form prior to your consultation to capture logistical details and other important details so we can spend our time talking about the most important aspects of this design. This includes but is not limited to:
Stories - Tell us about your person, their life, their passions, and more. Feel free to share photos.
Inspiration - Any inspiration or mood boards that show colours, styles or designs that person would love (or loathe).
Financial Allocation - Having an allocation in mind is ideal as it steers us to suggest arrangements that align with your expectations.
Once the consultation is complete, we send you a proposal with a design concept, flower suggestions and itemised quote for you to approve before we get to work.

We’re a floristry studio that supports local growers by using seasonal flowers. We’re more than happy to include specific flowers providing that they are in season and available.
While the seasons do give us some predictability, there's never any guarantee that specific flowers will be available.
Our approach is to understand what it was that your person loved about particular flowers - was it the daintiness? The fluffiness? The colour? Or brought back a specific memory?
When we have this information it helps us find substitutes that give the same look and feel if specific flowers aren't available.
As a starting point, we recommend looking at our Seasonal Flowers Guide to see if the flower is in season. We'll then work with local flower farms and growers to get this for you if we can.
