Memorial Flower Preservation
Preserve the Flowers That Honored a Life Well Lived
When someone you love passes, the flowers brought to honor them carry meaning that words cannot fully express. Fossil Flowers transforms those blooms — from funeral arrangements, sympathy bouquets, and celebration-of-life displays — into permanent keepsakes that keep their memory close.
We are Omaha's dedicated flower preservation studio, serving families across Nebraska and nationwide.
What Flowers Can Be Preserved
Almost any flower used in a memorial setting can be preserved, including:
- Funeral arrangement blooms
- Sympathy bouquets
- Flowers from a graveside service
- Celebration-of-life centerpiece flowers
- A single meaningful stem
If you are unsure whether your flowers are suitable, contact us before shipping and we will advise you.
How Memorial Flower Preservation Works
- Drop off or ship your flowers. Omaha-area families can drop off locally. If you are outside Omaha, we provide shipping guidance to get your flowers to us safely.
- We assess and prepare your blooms. Every flower is inspected and prepared using the preservation method best suited to its variety and your chosen keepsake style.
- You choose your keepsake style. Select from pressed flower frames, resin blocks, 3D shadowboxes, jewelry, ornaments, and more.
- We handcraft your piece. Each keepsake is made by hand in our Omaha studio with care and intention.
- Your keepsake is delivered. Finished pieces are carefully packaged and shipped, or available for local pickup.
Timing: We recommend dropping off or shipping flowers as soon as possible after the service — within 3 days is ideal for best color retention.
Memorial Keepsake Styles
- Pressed Flower Frames — Flat, botanical-style artwork that preserves the natural shape and color of your blooms. Gentle and timeless.
- Resin Keepsakes — Three-dimensional blocks, trays, and objects that suspend your flowers in crystal-clear resin. A lasting, tactile memorial.
- 3D Shadowboxes — Dimensional displays that give your flowers presence and depth. A meaningful piece for a home or office.
- Jewelry — Carry a piece of your loved one with you every day. Pendants, rings, and earrings handcrafted with preserved petals.
- Ornaments — A gentle way to remember someone during the holidays and throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon should I send the flowers after the service? Within 3 days is ideal. Keep flowers in water in a cool location until you are ready to ship or drop off. Contact us if you need guidance.
Can you preserve flowers that have already dried? Yes, in many cases. Dried flowers can still be preserved beautifully, though color vibrancy may differ. Contact us before shipping so we can advise on the best approach.
Can I send flowers from outside Omaha? Absolutely. We ship nationwide and will walk you through the process to make sure your flowers arrive safely.
Can I include flowers from multiple arrangements? Yes. Many families combine blooms from different arrangements into a single keepsake. Let us know what you are sending and we will incorporate them thoughtfully.
Is this an appropriate gift for a grieving family? Many of our clients order memorial keepsakes as gifts for family members. It is a deeply personal and lasting way to honor a loved one.
