Funeral Sprays

Funeral Sprays are flowers that are sent to funerals to express sympathy. They come in various sizes and colors, typically arranged in the shape of a cross or a heart.

While funeral sprays are not as common as funeral wreaths, they are still a popular way to show support for the family during their time of loss.

Some traditions forbid using certain funeral flowers, such as chrysanthemums, at funeral arrangements. By researching and choosing an appropriate spray, you can show your support and respect for the person who died and their family.

There are many different types of funeral sprays to choose from. Below are some of the most popular options:

Standing Spray: A funeral standing spray is a large arrangement placed on a stand. Funeral standing sprays are typically used as a focal point during the visitation or at the funeral home.

Casket Spray: A casket spray is a large arrangement placed on top of the casket. Casket sprays are usually reserved for close family members like spouses or parents.

Heart-shaped sprays: A heart-shaped spray is a more intimate option typically used by close friends or family members. They go hand in hand with heart-shaped funeral wreaths.

Cross Funeral Sprays: A cross-shaped spray is a religious option often used with casket spray. They can be patriotic funeral sprays, as well.

Wreaths funeral sprays: A funeral wreath is a circular arrangement that can be placed on the floor or hung on a wall. It is a popular choice for memorial services.

Now that you know more about funeral sprays, you may wonder how to pick the right one. Here are a few factors to consider when picking funeral flowers:

The favorite flower of the Deceased

The easiest way to find a spray that people will cherish is to choose one that includes the deceased’s favorite flower.

Everyone has a favorite flower, even if they don’t realize it. If you’re unsure of the deceased’s favorite flower, look at any old pictures you have of them. Their favorite flower will be in at least one of them.

Funeral color scheme

Another essential factor to consider when picking funeral sprays is the funeral’s color scheme.

The family may have already chosen a favorite color scheme for the funeral, so you’ll want to match it.

White is always a safe choice if there is no specific color scheme. Funerals often use white funeral flowers because they symbolize purity, innocence, and reverence.

Size of the spray

Funeral Sprays come in different sizes and shapes; we have funeral flower standing sprays, Hearts, Crosses, and more. When it comes to size, bigger is not always better. The spray size should be relative to the size of the casket.

A large spray might look out of place if the deceased were a small person. In this case, it’s better to go with a smaller arrangement. On the other hand, if the dead is a significant person or if there will be many people attending the funeral, a larger spray may be more appropriate.

Family circumstances

Finally, you’ll want to consider the family’s circumstances when choosing a spray.

The funeral would be more formal if the deceased were the family’s breadwinner. In this case, it’s better to use a more traditional spray, such as a white lily cross.

The funeral would be more intimate if the deceased were a stay-at-home parent. A smaller spray or a spray in the shape of a heart would be more appropriate.

One of the most common questions we are asked is how much a particular funeral spray costs. It isn’t easy to give an exact answer as there are so many variables, including the size of the spray, the type of flowers used, and whether it is being delivered locally or out of town.

A good rule is to budget $150-$250 for a mid-sized spray. Of course, depending on your needs, funeral floral arrangements, and budget, you can always choose cheap funeral sprays or spend more.
