Arrangements
While anything is possible when it comes to floral arrangements,
florists commonly use the following designs for sympathy arrangements.
-
A casket spray
(sometimes known as a casket blanket or cover) is the arrangement
placed on the top of the casket. The family closest to the deceased
usually purchases it.
-
A spray
is the most common arrangement ordered. The flowers are designed for
viewing from one side only. Sprays can vary in shape and size and
are usually displayed on an easel.
-
An inside piece
(sometimes known as an insert piece) is the term used to describe
the small floral designs placed inside the casket (for example,
pillows, hearts or small bouquets). Close family members or special
loved ones usually order this type of arrangement. Ask the family
before ordering anything for the casket.
-
A wreath
is circular in design and considered by many to symbolize eternal
life.
-
A floral
arrangement is a mix of fresh flowers in a vase,
basket or other container.
-
Other floral designs can represent an
organizational tribute
(for example, a Masonic lodge) or a
religious tribute
(for example, a cross). Heart-shaped designs are also quite popular.
-
Plants
are longer lasting tributes that the family will keep after the
service.
