Help in Preserving a floral arrangement?

[2angelsinheaven]

My grandmother and I both want to save the flowers that we had at my grandfather's funeral but I'm clueless at how to go about this. I want it to be semi-easy as I don't have a whole lot of free time, but also I want it to look nice and I'd like to keep the flowers in the arrangement if possible. Anyone have experience with this... it's now been three days since the flowers were cut, they all still look very fresh.

What kind of flowers?

You will most likely need to take them out of the arrangement to dry and then re-arrange them later. The only flowers I know of that will dry in a vase are hydrangea. The rest either need to hang upside down in a dark place to dry naturally or they need to be put in silica gel (a sand that sucks the moisture out).
