A funeral is always a difficult time, but it’s also a celebration of your loved one’s life, and you certainly want it to honor their memory as much as possible.
One way most people do this is to add a sense of solemn beauty to the funeral area with various flower arrangements.
However, you don’t just want any flower arrangement. You want one that is appropriate for the occasion and would make your loved one proud.
Today, we’re going to go over a few different types of funeral flower arrangements for a funeral setting to make this difficult part of your life just a little easier.
1: Casket Sprays
Casket sprays are not actually “sprays”. They’re flower arrangements that are used to decorate your loved one’s casket. Traditionally, they are laid on top of the casket after the viewing is finished and the casket is closed.
Casket sprays can be purchased in a large variety of colors.
With a casket spray, you want to choose a color and flower combination representative of the deceased’s favorite colors and flowers. This is not something that has to be neutral or atmospheric; it is a way to show the person’s personality and beauty one last time on the top of their final resting place.
2: Standing Sprays
A standing spray serves a similar purpose to a casket spray. It is there to honor the deceased and let some of their personality shine through in this difficult time. As such, you can easily find standing sprays in a large variety of color options.
These differ from casket sprays because they are typically placed on easels with a space reserved for loved ones to place notes to the deceased or condolences to the family.
A standing spray is an excellent way to both honor your loved one and provide a private, respectful, way for guests to share their feelings.
3: Floor Bouquet
A floor bouquet is designed to create an elegant atmosphere around your loved one’s casket during the funeral ceremony. A series of bouquets are placed on the visible side of the casket, or around it entirely depending on the funeral layout, and they help add color to such a sad occasion.
Floor bouquets can be vibrant and add a sense of happiness to the occasion, or they can be more subtle to add a level of reverence to the atmosphere. It’s completely up to you.
4: Urn Arrangements
Finally, with cremation becoming one of the most common burial options due to pricing, “urn arrangements” have become extremely popular as well.
Urn arrangements are typically flower arrangements that are placed around the urn during a memorial service, and they are typically comprised of the deceased’s favorite flowers and color combinations.
This helps you add atmosphere to an otherwise simple funeral setup when there aren’t extravagant items around such as caskets, easels, podiums, and other things that are commonly decorated.
