    Plastic-free farewell flowers

    In this episode, Gill Hodgson and Carole Patilla share their experience of launching the Farewell Flowers Directory as part of their mission to change the world of funeral flowers, one arrangement at a time. One of their main aims is to help move the floristry industry away from its overreliance on plastic, encouraging the use of alternatives to floral foam (Oasis) and 'cellophane'. Their insights highlight how awareness and education around plastic use can drive meaningful change, and they provide many practical tips that consumers, florists and funeral directors can easily follow.   Brought to you by the Natural Burial Alliance (NBA), the Dying to Go Green Podcast explores various elements of natural burial and green funeral practices, guiding and inspiring those who may like to consider this option for themselves or their loved ones.
