Question
I purchased a floral arrangment for my grandmother's funeral and now I am looking for a way to preserve it in it's entirety.  I want to keep it completely in tact, arrangement and color, etc.  Is there a way to do this and how do I do it?

Answer
Hi, Dawn.  The only way I know how to preserve an arrangement as is is to freeze dry them.  To my knowledge, there is no way to do this at home, and it's best to hire a professional.  You would need to drop off the arrangement or overnight it to a facility, preferably within two days.  Here's a link to one company that accepts arrangements via shipping:

We have had people preserve their weddings bouquets, mostly, but all types of arrangements have been done.
