How to preserve funeral flowers?

[Evelyn]

Memories, love, last farewells—these is why funeral flowers are often of emotional value. You can preserve them by drying, pressing, resin art, shadow boxes or memory frames instead of discarding them. Dried flowers can be kept in a jar, or you can use them for your home decor, and pressed flowers can be kept as mementos. By preserving the funeral flowers, families may have a portion of the tribute to keep for many years. If you're seeking remembrance ideas then this question is good for you!

To preserve funeral flowers, start by removing damaged petals and trimming the stems. One common method is air drying, where you tie the flowers in small bundles and hang them upside down in a dry, dark place for several weeks. You can also press the flowers between heavy books or use silica gel to help maintain their shape and color. After preservation, many people place the flowers in frames, shadow boxes, or decorative arrangements as a lasting memory of their loved one.

I totally get wanting to keep those special memories. The easiest way is pressing them in a heavy book, or you could hang them upside down to dry somewhere cool and dark!
