In an earnest endeavor to ease the emotional and financial burdens on grieving families, Peaceful Petals marked its one-year anniversary with a commitment to offering affordable alternatives for fresh funeral flowers.
Founded by Stacey Rotherham in September 2022, Peaceful Petals was born out of her personal experiences and a profound dedication to providing solace and relief during times of loss. Stacey understands the plight of many in Carlisle who may have walked into florists and been quoted exorbitant prices for funeral flowers. It was this realization that led to the creation of Peaceful Petals.
In a tireless effort spanning nine months, Stacey transformed her vision into reality, offering an eco-friendly service that currently operates from her own home.
“I want to help families,” Stacey expressed with deep sincerity. “The last thing you want to do is send someone on their final journey without any floral tributes. It’s about giving people an alternative option that is more affordable when it comes to funeral flowers.”
The past year has been a testament to Stacey’s commitment and the community’s embrace of Peaceful Petals. For her, it’s not about profit; it’s about ensuring that families do not find themselves in the same predicament she once faced.
Stacey emphasized that the nearest similar businesses are located in Newcastle and Edinburgh, underscoring the uniqueness of her endeavor in Cumbria.
Peaceful Petals offers a range of funeral packages and displays starting at £150, ensuring that every family can afford to pay their respects with beautiful floral tributes. These heartfelt arrangements are delivered directly to the funeral director, eliminating the added stress of logistics during an already challenging time. Customers can also choose additional displays, such as the “Heaven’s Gates” arrangement, to commemorate their loved ones in a unique and meaningful way.
As Peaceful Petals celebrates its first anniversary, it stands as a beacon of compassion and support for the Carlisle community, reminding everyone that even in times of loss, there is an affordable and caring alternative for expressing love and remembrance through flowers.
