-
Round Wreath
For a round wreath of funeral flowers, you will need round-shaped foam with a hollow in the middle. This will serve as the base for the design of the flowers. The wet floral foam should be firm and not too soft so that it can hold the flowers firmly. It is like a sponge previously soaked in water with flower preservatives that will help prolong the life of the flowers. If you have the foam ready, the next step is to cover it with green foliage from the front part to the back part. No part of the foam should be visible. The next step is to cover the foam with the flowers you choose for the funeral flower arrangement. There are filler flowers that you can use to make the arrangement more attractive.

Cross Wreath
A cross wreath is a perfect choice if you want to bring something meaningful and symbolic of faith and religion to the funeral. If you want to show respect to the deceased person or if you want to convey your condolences to the family, this is a nice shape to make for the funeral wreath. For the wreath, you will need a base in cross shape using plastic containers or wire. To keep the foam in place, you may want to glue its surface to the container. Cover the base with short-stemmed green leaves or foliage and fill the entire shape with white flowers. You can also use pink flowers or other colored flowers depending on the style you want. Rose and Carnations are perfect for this arrangement.

Casket Spray
A casket spray is a design intended to be placed on the casket for adornment. The sprays can be double-ended to fully cover the coffin or half-couch spray to cover the half part of the coffin. The base of the floral arrangement is the floral foam in its container. The container should not be too heavy. For the covering of the foam, a large foliage would do. In case there are gaps in between the foliage, you can use small foliage or leaves. You can be creative with the foliage by creating a layered effect. When you start to add flowers, it is best to start filling the foam from the center outward to the left side and to the right side. Use filler flowers like Baby’s Breath to fill in the gaps. Do not forget to keep the foam hydrated so that the funeral floral arrangement can last throughout the week.

Standing Spray
A standing spray for funerals is a thoughtful floral arrangement perfect to express your condolences and to make the room peaceful and calm. The presence of the white flowers on easel creates a display that comforts the soul. To make a standing spray, a wooden easel is a useful item. It will hold the flowers in place. When you create the design, you may choose the types of flowers that the deceased person liked most or the most symbolic flowers that express sympathy and comfort to the bereaved family. Cover the base part with greenery and foliage. When you add the flowers, you may start at the center by adding large blooms going outwards using smaller blooms. The large flower arrangement requires flowers with longer stems for better hold. When you make a standing spray, keep the easel firm and strong to prevent from falling. A personalized funeral flower is sure to convey your prayers and wishes for peace and comfort.
