Funeral Sprays
A single-ended spray is a teardrop of fresh flowers, made to lie on top of a coffin, beside it or at the graveside. Each design is made by a local florist and delivered by hand before the service.
What a funeral spray is
The flowers are set into a hidden base and fan out from one end to a soft point, so the shape is a long teardrop rather than a circle. That makes it different from a coffin spray, which is double-ended and reaches towards both ends of the lid, and from a wreath, which is round. People sometimes call either kind a casket spray. A single-ended spray is designed to lay on top on its own or flat on the ground among the other funeral flowers, which is why so many families and friends choose one.
Where it goes on the day
Most sprays go to the funeral director, who places them in the hearse or by the coffin, and after a burial they are often laid at the grave. You can also send one to the family's home if they would like to take the flowers with them. It is a heartfelt tribute from a son or daughter, a group of grandchildren or close friends, and it sits well among the other floral tributes, beside a wreath or a sheaf. If you would rather send something to the home after the funeral, a sympathy bouquet may suit better.
Colours, flowers and styles
We offer a range of colours and styles. The White Funeral Spray uses white roses, lilies, carnations and lisianthus, and the pink and white version swaps in pink roses and carnations. For something bright, the yellow and white spray mixes yellow carnations with white anemones, and the purple spray brings purple gerberas and lilac roses. The spray for a man has white roses, germini and blue statice, and the pink lily spray is made only of pink oriental lilies. Lilies are toxic to cats, so keep that in mind if the spray is going to a home with a cat. A colour they loved is a gentle way to celebrate the life of a loved one.
Sizes and prices
Each design comes in Standard, Preferred and Elegant. Going up adds more stems of the same flowers, so the arrangement keeps its shape but looks fuller. Prices start from £49.49 for the purple and the yellow and white designs, £54.99 for white or pink and white, £76.99 for pink lilies and £82.49 for the spray for a man.
Ordering and delivery
This isn't a florist choice service: you see the design and the flowers before you order. Your florist uses the freshest seasonal flowers they have, and if one isn't available they may swap it for another of the same colour and style, of equal or greater value. Choose your spray, write your card, and give us the address and funeral date. Flower delivery is one charge of £12.49 per order to one address, added at checkout. A local florist brings it Monday to Saturday, from tomorrow onwards, in London and across the country; we can't deliver on Sundays, bank holidays or to AB10 postcodes.
Questions about sprays
How much is a flower spray for a funeral?
Ours start from £49.49 in the Standard size, plus £12.49 delivery per order.
What are the two types of casket sprays?
Single-ended sprays, a teardrop shape, and double-ended sprays, which rest along the top of the coffin. Both are fresh flowers on a hidden base.
Do funeral flowers have to be white?
No. White is traditional, but many families choose the colour the person who died liked best. See our white funeral flowers if you want an all-white tribute.
Can I send a spray to the family's home?
Yes. We deliver to the funeral director or the family's home, whichever you choose.
