What to Know About Types of Funeral Arrangements
When purchasing a flower arrangement for a funeral or memorial service, the most important thing is to request something that represents the deceased – something that captures their love of color, their favorite time of year or favorite flower. There are many types of arrangements you can purchase or have sent. Below is a brief summary of what types of arrangements you may request from your florist or terms you may hear them use.
Floral Arrangement: What we typically think of as an fresh flower assortment in a vase, basket or other decorative container.
Wreath: A floral design common for funeral services because the circle can symbolize eternal life
Spray: A floral design often placed on an easel that can be viewed from one side only. These can often be made larger than a typical floral arrangement
Casket Spray: Flower arrangement designed to sit on top of the casket. This piece is usually purchased by the family or the church
