SPECIAL OCCASION VISITS
Grave Flower Drop-Offs in Chichester & West Sussex
There are many times of year when we wish we could visit the grave of someone we love — birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, or simply a day that holds special meaning. If you cannot visit in person, Harris Grave Tending can help.
We provide grave flower drop-offs in Chichester and across West Sussex, carefully placing fresh flowers on a loved one’s grave on your behalf. Every visit is carried out with care and respect, and we always send photographs afterwards so you can see the flowers and the condition of the grave.
Our grave tending and flower placement service in Chichester and West Sussex is especially helpful for families who live further away or are unable to visit regularly.
If you would like us to place flowers on a grave in Chichester or anywhere in West Sussex or surrounding areas, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
