There are a lot of different terms for casket sprays. Some refer to them as floral casket blankets. Others call them funeral casket sprays. We try to simplify the options for our customers by categorizing a casket spray as either a full, or half casket spray. The first thing to know is that there's no rule about which you should send—half or full. It all depends on the person who's being buried, what their preferences were during life, and what their family wants. The second thing to know is that there are two types of casket sprays: full and half.
Full Casket Sprays
A full casket spray works well when the family has chosen to go with a closed casket viewing and / or service. Full sprays are really large and generally cover much of the top of the casket. These sprays can be designed in different styles. They are often made with flowers like lilies or roses, and placed at the head of the casket as part of the funeral service. There might also be other items added to this type of arrangement, like candles, crosses or a script with a parting message.
Half Casket Sprays
A half casket spray is smaller than a full casket spray because it doesn't include any other items besides flowers. Half casket sprays are used as part of a memorial service instead of during a funeral service because they're less expensive and easier to transport than full caskets (which are often large enough that they often must be transported in pieces). Half casket sprays work well when families have opted to go with an open casket viewing and / or service. A half spray can easily be repositioned on top of the casket to allow for the lid to be opened or closed. Full casket sprays are more difficult to reposition, given their size and the fact they can often cover much of the surface of the casket.

Sympathy flowers can be a wonderful way to express your condolences. When someone you know has lost a loved one, it's important to let them know that you're thinking of them.
The best sympathy flowers are those that will last the longest. Some people like to send flowers in their own vase, so make sure to check with the recipient before sending an arrangement that won't stay fresh for as long as they need it. If you're unsure what kind of vase the person will use, choose a bouquet that includes a vase or pot for easy care and display at home.
You may also want to consider sending an arrangement that includes greenery and foliage because it's more natural looking than flowers alone and can help give the grieving family a sense of peace during this difficult time. This type of arrangement is often referred to as an "arrangement" rather than a "bouquet," because it includes more than just blooms!
Funeral casket sprays and standing sympathy sprays are another way people express their condolences when someone has passed away. These arrangements often include white lilies or roses (or both) along with other seasonal flowers like tulips or daisies. We offer a really nice selection of sympathy flower bouquets on our website. If you don't see the exact design you need on the site, please contact our flower shop. The award-winning floral design team at Mayfield can custom design the perfect sympathy arrangement for your needs.
