The Posy Pad is a very traditional funeral design yet it is very scalable and can simply be created as a fully compostable design.

This 'how-to' video demonstrated how I put together a wicker basket filled with jars.

This is a new design which uses living plants as well as cut flowers and foliage. The plants can be removed and planted after the funeral

The raffia-tied sheaf is perhaps the most common sustainable funeral arrangement as, other than the flowers and foliage, the only other material required is raffia.

This design is a way to combine two raffia-tied sheafs with an easily removable middle section to create an arrangement which covers the top of a coffin. This is particularly suited to oval shaped coffins.

This design was inspired by Queen Elizabeth II's funeral wreath. It isn't made as a wreath but in an oval shape which fits well on a coffin.

This new design is an excellent way to create an arrangement that can be easily shared after the ceremony. It consists of eight bunches of flowers and a central piece.

This arrangement is probably the design closest to the traditional double-ended spray. My shape tends to be more rectangular than very pointed at the ends but the shape can be adapted to your preferred shape.

The wreath is a frequently requested type of funeral tribute. There are a number of ways to create these without using floral foam. This method uses the copper rings usually used for creating Christmas wreaths.

This video demonstrates two different methods for creating a compostable flower-filled heart. Watch to the end to see a follow-up piece.

This arrangement is one of my most popular. It is made by creating separate modules which then fit together seamlessly to cover the coffin.

This arrangement is the most complex to prepare and create but is a lovely way to share the flowers after the ceremony. It is created as modules and each module contains two jars so is easily scalable.

The construction of this wreath is quite similar to how a Christmas wreath is created but the flowers and foliage are added in a different way in this design.

Although this video can be used as a how-to guide to creating a modular piece to cover a coffin, the primary aim of making this was to compare different types of substrates for use in sustainable funeral arrangements.
