Types of Memorial and Funeral Floral Arrangements

When a loved one has been lost, it may feel like there is not much one can do to comfort a grieving family. Perhaps you yourself are experiencing intense emotions and may feel a bit overwhelmed. Throughout history, flowers have been used as a gesture of love and compassion and to this day, the offering of sympathy arrangements for the memorial services remain one of the best ways to show your care for the deceased's family and friends. When deciding what type of memorial floral arrangement will be proper, it is first important to know what types of arrangements are most commonly given. Casket Spray- At services where the casket will be displayed, it is traditional to have a casket spray, which is normally made of roses and is placed on top of the open or closed casket. Floral Stand- As the name implies, these arrangements are placed on a wire or wooden stand by the floral arranger.  more
