Funeral Tribute Flower Preservation Package

Freeze drying flowers in their natural form Flower preservation of flowers means the extraction of moisture held in the flowers by which the process by which water is removed from a frozen material by sublimation and processes, primary drying and secondary drying. By pre-treating all our flowers before this process, this provides the perfect material of then a preserved flower. All of our flowers are preserved in a 3d form ( not pressed ) but in the same shape as before they go through this process. Please note that when we are extracting the moisture through this process, depending upon the age of the flower, the flower may darken or lighten in colour.

Our process to gently remove all the moisture from the flowers takes a minimum of 14-16 weeks and then further time to design and cast your flowers within the requested paperweight design. It is vital to make sure the moisture is removed slowly from the flowers so they retain as much colour as possible as well as the 3d formation. The flowers are then sent across to the designers to create your flower paperweight.

We recommend keeping flowers hydrated as much as possible during your event to ensure they keep their moisture by placing them back into water as soon as you possibly can.

Ask the venue if they can provide any water to position them in during the event.

We recommend sending them to us within 1-4 days following your event for the best results.

Ideally we would love to have as many flowers as you can possibly spare. We will then preserve the best flowers sent in and use these to create your paperweight or keepsake.

The flowers once enclosed within the paperweight will last forever as no humidity can ever come back into the 100% sealed paperweight.

As advised in each consultation via telephone, face to face or email it is impossible to guarantee the final colour of the specimen as all flowers may react when encapsulated.

We cannot take responsibility for any air bubbles or particles that may become loose once your flowers have been encapsulated, nor a line within the paperweight which is from the pollen from the flowers (as this has nowhere to escape too).

To preserve the natural beauty of your paperweight/s, please do not place them directly in the sun or near a heat source.

Make sure to clean your paperweight/s with a soft, clean cloth, taking care not to scratch the surface and remove any marks and/or fine scratches using a metal polish.

Please do not place your paperweight/s next to or in front of a television screen as prolonged exposure to this form of light can create a heat build-up within your paperweight.

A care leaflet is enclosed with every order.
