Casket Spray
A large, elegant arrangement designed to rest on top of the coffin during a funeral service. Casket sprays are typically the centrepiece tribute from immediate family.
A casket spray, also known as a coffin spray, is a large floral arrangement designed to be placed on top of the coffin during a funeral service. It is traditionally the centrepiece tribute, most often provided by the immediate family — a spouse, children, or parents. The casket spray holds a position of honour and is usually the most prominent floral display at the service.
Casket sprays are long, elegant arrangements that can span the full length or half the length of the coffin. Full-length sprays typically measure 4 to 5 feet and create a dramatic, cascading display. Half-length sprays, around 3 feet, are placed at one end of the coffin and offer a more understated but equally beautiful tribute.
The flower choices for casket sprays in Cheltenham often reflect the personality of the deceased. Classic combinations include white lilies and roses for a timeless, peaceful display, or rich red roses for a tribute filled with love. Many families choose bright, mixed flowers to celebrate a vibrant life — sunflowers, gerberas, and seasonal blooms create a joyful, colourful farewell.
As the principal tribute, the casket spray requires careful coordination with the funeral director. Our team at Nat's Funeral Flowers works closely with Cheltenham funeral homes to ensure the spray is delivered at the right time and fits beautifully on the chosen coffin. We take immense care with every detail.
