What is a funeral spray or wreath? Funeral spray deliveries are large floral arrangements designed to stand on an easel. A funeral wreath is a circle, cross, heart, basket, or other custom shape or letters, such as "MOTHER" made of flowers that hangs near the departed. In both instances they are an arrangement of fresh-cut flowers on a wire stand and traditionally positioned near the casket to show support, love, and respect. They typically only appear at the wake, funeral, cemetery, or memorial service, not in the home. A lovely spray of flowers is a beautiful and touching tribute to the deceased.

At a funeral, purple can signify dignity, honor, respect, and admiration, representing a life that was special and well-lived. It also carries meanings of sorrow, mourning, and spiritual or religious significance, especially in traditions like Lent where it symbolizes penance and reflection.

Yellow flowers at a funeral symbolize friendship, joy, remembrance, and hope, bringing warmth and celebrating the happy memories and radiant spirit of the deceased, rather than just focusing on sorrow, with options like sunflowers, lilies, and roses representing strong bonds and a life well-lived. They're a way to show deep regard and offer comfort, often used to highlight the positive impact the person had.

The most traditional color is white, followed by pale pinks, and red roses.
