Back to nature
A arrangement has been designed for a natural burial ground that consists of naturally biodegradable materials and can be buried along with the casket. Oasis Terra Brick is clamped between untreated wooden sticks on the casket lid. Leaves of Petasites hybridus (coltsfoot) lie face up on the base and take on its shape as they dry. Delphinium ‘Triton Lavender’ and ‘Bella Andes Azure’ provide the blue hue. Low-profile arrangements of Achillea ‘Red Dream’, Eryngium ‘Magnetar Questar’, and Sanguisorba ‘Red Dream’ add color, texture, and movement. Asparagus densiflorus and Asparagus setaceus connect the floral arrangement to the casket. Vanda orchids are watered via a bamboo reservoir secured with Oasis BioLine twine. After the service, these tubes can be given to the bereaved as a keepsake.
Growing freely on the box
This casket arrangement is, of course, arranged loosely, creating a casual, botanical look. The foliage of Caladium and Alocasia ‘Polly’ provides bold shapes, contrasting with the delicate textures of Asparagus setaceus and Asparagus densiflorus. Low-growing Allium schubertii introduces a graphic interplay of lines to the base; Moluccella laevis, also known as Irish bells, adds vertical lines. The grayish hue of the Asplenium fern complements the casket lid. Panicles of Ammi majus and the soft pink flowers of Paeonia ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ soften the composition. A single flower of Clematis ‘Amazing Kyiv’ provides a subtle finishing touch.
