'Flowers for Funerals' - Thrive Floristry

This brand new quarterly publication instigated by mother & daughter team Liz & Claire Cowling, already well-renowned in the florists' trade, showcases beautiful floral tributes for this very specific side of the industry.

First issue publication date 15th September 2008.

Each year there are more than double the number of funerals than there are weddings - last year 240889 males, 261710 females, against around 250,000 marriages - which makes these traumatic events a vital part of the trade..

Be in contact with a reliable supplier of the basic sundry materials at short notice, with in-depth stocks and immediate next-day delivery - a wide range of products to suit, shapes & designs for every occasion and theme. Have a reliable & local source of fresh flowers & strike up a good relationship with them - your 'Flying Dutchman' might not be round for another week and you don't have time to wait, so your UK based wholesaler just down the road is there to give you the quality when you need it - this means support them in the lean times as well.

Some training in aspects of counselling may also help you to be sympathetic to your client, you're there to be helpful.

Thrive's new magazine, showing beautiful flowers specially for funerals, is a great resource for florists and consumer alike - with your support, it will continue to keep you up to speed with modern trends for years to come, & ahead of the game.
