Funeral Flowers Gosport
Celebrating lives with farewell flowers, thoughtfully crafted and inspired by nature

Sustainable Funeral Flowers in Hampshire
Eco-Friendly, Foam-Free Funeral Tributes by Solent Stems.
At Solent Stems, we specialise in sustainable funeral flowers created with care for both the person being remembered and the natural world. We provide eco-friendly, biodegradable funeral tributes for families across Gosport, Portsmouth, Fareham and the wider Hampshire area.
Our designs are plastic-free and floral-foam-free, making them suitable for green burials, natural burial grounds and traditional services.
Our own seasonal flowers grown at the Solent Flower Patch, nature works in harmony!
Alongside our beautiful blooms, we have hives of honey bees and care for a number of ex- commercial hens who live out their retirement with us, creating a sustainable ecosystem.
The bees tirelessly pollinate our flowers, while our happy hens contribute nutrient-rich waste to our compost bins. We compost all our green waste, returning it to the soil to enrich our plant beds naturally.
Every flower grown here is nurtured by the love of our animals and our commitment to sustainability.
Garden Visits
Should you wish to include flowers from your loved one's garden, we can arrange for flowers and foliage to be gathered from there.

A Thoughtful Alternative to Traditional Funeral Flowers
Many conventional funeral arrangements contain materials that do not break down naturally. Our sustainable funeral flowers are designed to avoid this, using natural techniques and materials that return gently to the earth.
We create funeral tributes using:
Seasonal flowers and foliage
Natural moss, twigs, straw and willow bases
Biodegradable ties and compostable supports
Foam-free construction methods
This approach allows families to choose flowers that reflect values of simplicity, nature and environmental responsibility, without compromising on beauty or craftsmanship.

Garden Style Design
The difference between biodegradable and compostable.
A biodegradable product will eventually break down under the right environmental conditions. However, many biodegradable products do contain plastics.
There may be plastic in the paper coffee cup, it will eventually break down but sadly so,e microplastic residue is left behind.
The composting process takes places far more quickly and all suitable material will turn into organic matter or humus and no micro plastics. If you have ever placed anything into a home compost bin one days it is full to the brim and a few days later it has moved sown the bin.
Everything that is compostable is also biodegradable…. But biodegradable does not necessarily mean compostable. 🌳
