Ordering funeral sprays: appropriate flowers for a farewell
Flowers often play an important role in a funeral. A funeral spray is a floral arrangement specifically created for this occasion. It is laid flat, arranged in floral foam, which helps keep it fresh and beautiful for a longer period. Funeral sprays are typically placed near the casket, the grave, or in the ceremony hall, and contribute to a dignified and personal farewell.
At Topbloemen.nl, you’ll find a wide selection of funeral sprays, ranging from simple and modest arrangements to luxurious pieces in special shapes like a heart or teardrop. You can choose from various styles, colors, and price ranges. Our florists carefully craft each arrangement and ensure timely and discreet delivery to the right location.
Whether you’re looking for a classic white piece, something in soft pastel tones, or vibrant colors, we’re here to help you make a fitting choice.
What is a funeral spray? Explanation and meaning
A funeral spray is a floral arrangement designed specifically for a funeral, memorial service, or burial. Unlike a bouquet, the flowers are arranged in water-soaked floral foam. This provides a stable base and extends the freshness of the flowers, maintaining their appearance for several days.
Funeral sprays come in many shapes, such as oval, teardrop, round, or symbolic forms like a heart. They are suitable for placement by the casket, at the grave, or at a memorial site.
Why choose a funeral spray?
A funeral spray is a respectful way to say goodbye and is often chosen for the following reasons:
- It stays fresh longer than a hand-tied bouquet.
- It lies flat and remains stable.
- The shape and choice of flowers can carry symbolic meaning.
- It takes a central place during the ceremony.
In contrast to hand-tied bouquets, which appear looser, a funeral spray offers a more formal and refined look. This makes it particularly appropriate for classic or ceremonial funerals.
Which flowers are suitable for a funeral spray? Popular choices and their meanings
Flowers in a funeral spray are chosen for their durability, appearance, and symbolism. Common choices include:
- Lilies – represent peace and purity
- Roses – symbolize love and respect
- Chrysanthemums – widely used for their longevity
- Carnations – stand for dignity and loyalty
- Gerberas – convey simplicity and strength, and add a touch of color
- Foliage – such as eucalyptus or greenery, adds volume and calmness
White flowers are most commonly used due to their serene and neutral appearance, but other colors like soft pink, pastels, or deep red are also possible.
Funeral bouquet or funeral spray? The differences explained
A funeral bouquet is a hand-tied bouquet designed to be laid flat, such as on a casket or memorial spot. Unlike a regular bouquet, it’s not meant to be placed in a vase.
A funeral bouquet differs from a funeral spray in that it is not arranged in floral foam. This gives the bouquet a looser, less compact form, and it is often smaller and more budget-friendly. Keep in mind that since it doesn’t have a water source, it won’t stay fresh as long.
A funeral spray, on the other hand, is a compact floral piece with a sturdy base of floral foam that contains water. This keeps the flowers hydrated longer, maintaining their shape and freshness for a more polished and enduring look. However, even the foam has limited water, so its lifespan is still finite.
Funeral sprays are often given on behalf of a group, such as family or colleagues, and are usually part of the official ceremony. Both types show sympathy but differ in form, price, and presentation.
Custom funeral spray – a personal tribute
Can’t find exactly what you’re looking for in the standard selection? Consider a custom-made funeral spray. This option is perfect for creating something that reflects the unique personality of the deceased—whether it’s using a specific flower, a special shape, or meaningful symbolism.
Here’s how it works:
- You set the budget.
- Clearly describe your preferences in the ‘Notes’ field (e.g., colors, flower types, style, or a specific shape like heart, teardrop, or oval).
- Please note: custom orders must be placed at least three working days before the desired delivery date.

What to write on a funeral ribbon – ideas for personal messages
A funeral spray can be made even more meaningful with a ribbon bearing a personal message. This might be a simple farewell, a Bible verse, a personal sentiment, or a reference to a shared memory.
A ribbon typically includes two lines:
- A message line
- The name(s) of the sender(s)
Examples:
- In loving memory
- Your light will keep shining
- Forever in our hearts
- Thank you for who you were
- Farewell, dear [name]
- Rest in peace
You can provide your text while placing your order. We’ll ensure the ribbon is professionally printed and respectfully added to the arrangement.
Funeral spray delivery: locations, timing, and tips
Timely and accurate delivery is essential when ordering a funeral spray. Each arrangement is carefully prepared and can be delivered to locations such as:
- Funeral homes and crematoriums
- Churches or chapels
- Private addresses
- Cemeteries (by arrangement)
You’ll select your delivery date during the order process. To ensure your funeral spray arrives at the right place and time, please provide:
- The name of the deceased
- The delivery address
- The date and time of the ceremony
As funeral sprays are often custom-made and handcrafted by our florists, they require a slightly longer delivery time than standard bouquets. Also, because the floral foam has a limited water supply, we recommend scheduling delivery at least three days before the funeral. This helps ensure the arrangement remains beautiful and presentable at the time of the farewell.
