Memorial Pieces: Preserving More Than Just Flowers

At Wren Valley Co, we believe that florals hold stories. Sometimes those stories are joyful — wedding days, celebrations, garden memories — and sometimes, they hold the weight of grief, love, and remembrance. One of the most meaningful ways we’ve been trusted to serve our customers is through creating memorial preservation pieces: tangible keepsakes that honour a life, a love, a goodbye.

A Lasting Tribute

Flowers from memorial services, funerals, celebrations of life, or even blooms saved from a garden a loved one once tended — they each carry deep emotional significance. We’re honoured to preserve those pieces not just as décor, but as heirlooms. These are more than flowers — they are memory, legacy, and comfort.

Whether it’s a single rose from a service or an entire arrangement, our goal is to create something that feels personal, respectful, and enduring.

What Can Be Included

In addition to florals, we can incorporate a range of keepsakes and non-floral items into your preservation piece. Some examples include:

  • Ribbon from the arrangement
  • A handwritten note or card
  • A small piece of fabric or lace
  • Jewelry, charms, or buttons
  • Photos or printed quotes
  • Religious tokens or symbols

We’ll work closely with you to design a piece that reflects your loved one and what they meant to you.

Please note: while we can include many meaningful additions, we do not work with ashes or remains at this time.

Gentle Handling, Every Step of the Way

We know how sacred these flowers can be. Whether they arrive fresh or already dried, we take the utmost care with every single bloom. From the moment they arrive in our hands to the final layer of resin, we treat each piece with care.

Our drying and preservation process is tailored to honour each piece's natural beauty and sentiment. Your memories matter — and they’re safe with us.

 

Creating a memorial piece is a deeply personal experience, and we’re here to guide you through it with compassion and care. Whether you’re looking to preserve flowers into jewelry, functional items or simply something to display, our hope is to create something that brings you a little bit of peace — something beautiful to hold on to when words just aren’t enough.

If you're ready to begin, or if you have questions about what’s possible, we invite you to reach out. We’re here to help you honour what matters most.
