About this business
About the business
We are here with you during this time of grief, reflection, and remembrance. While we understand that there are no words that can fully honor what you are feeling, we hope you know that you are not alone in this moment. Having experienced profound loss in our own lives, we have dedicated our passion for floral art to the healing qualities of beauty and the symbolism flowers hold during times of sorrow and remembrance. We believe in creating something that feels like a true reflection of a life, the memories shared, and the connection that will remain forever.
Origin story
The roots of Exfolia Botanical trace back to founder Cassandra Stadnicki’s childhood, gathering flowers from her father’s garden to give to their neighbors every spring, and later to a love of growing plants, foraging and art-making that deepened her relationship with the natural world. That lifelong connection inspires botanical artistry that celebrates beauty, preserves memory, and honors life’s most meaningful moments.
Why families choose us
Families choose us because we believe funeral flowers are meaningful reflections of a life, the memories shared, and the relationships that shaped it. We take the time to listen and understand your story, creating thoughtful floral designs that feel personal, natural, and intentional. We are the right fit for families who value unique artistry, a gentle guiding hand, and flowers crafted with presence, care, and love.

Cassandra Stadnicki
Our founder, Cassandra Stadnicki, has experienced profound loss throughout her life and has always found comfort in the quiet, uplifting presence of flowers during times of grief. Their beauty, fragrance, and the stories they carry have the ability to connect us to memories, to the earth, and to one another. Flowers serve as a sacred reminder of the cycle of life, death, and renewal. Creating floral designs for others during difficult times is Cassandra’s way of honoring those connections, offering comfort, and continuing the healing process.
