Message me for availability and booking as soon as you are able

Flowers need to be dropped off in Acton ME within 2 days of the funeral and picked up within a week upon completion.

I am unable to preserve flowers that have started to wilt or brown.

Preservation time for the flowers takes at least 4-8 weeks and then up to 2-5 additional weeks for keepsake completion depending on my schedule. More time may be needed if this falls in the busy summer months. It is always worth the wait!

Please keep in mind some flowers don't preserve well but I always do my best to save everything I can!

Please decide on which keepsakes you would like by the day of drop off that way I know how many flowers will be needed and how best to preserve them

I realize this can be a very hard time to make decisions and I am more than happy to help answer any questions you have before hand, or the day you drop off to make selecting a keepsake a bit easier! I can offer my best opinion for keepsakes based on the flowers in your arrangement too.

PAYMENT- I do ask for a deposit the day you drop off your flowers. Deposit amount can be between 25-50% down. I am flexible and able to work with you during this difficult time. Final payment due at pick up. Cash, check, Venmo and PayPal accepted. I can also invoice you online if your needing to use a credit card etc.

~Gone But never forgotten~

Let their love live on with a beautiful floral keepsake
