Often the smallest details in planning for a funeral in Palm Beach, FL, become a challenge to the loved ones left behind. While many people plan the major part of their memorial service and discuss this with their loved ones, they may not talk about all the details, such as the types and styles of floral arrangements they want at the service.
Many funeral homes are now providing people with advance planning checklists and tools. This can be helpful to choose all aspects of the funeral details, including the floral arrangements for the memorial service.
Casket Sprays
Typically the immediate family chooses the casket spray, but this is not always the case. This arrangement of memorial flowers is placed on the casket either at the service or at the gravesite, depending on the preferences of the family and the type of service.
These tend to include colors and flowers that were favorites of the deceased. These sprays of flowers can be large and elaborate or simple and elegant.
Standing Sprays
A popular choice for those sending memorial flowers, standing sprays are typically set on a wire or a wooden pedestal or stand. They can be used to frame the entrance of the building or to sit on the sides of or behind where the casket is positioned, and the service is held.
These sprays can be designed in specific shapes, with crosses, hearts, and wreaths being very popular options. Flowers can be traditional or custom designed to match the casket spray or other arrangements.
Bouquets
Many people in Palm Beach, FL, send bouquets of memorial flowers to the home of the family. These are often selected to be flowers that are favorites of the deceased or of the family members and are designed to express deep sympathy, condolences, and support at this very difficult time.
