A spray of mixed seasonal flowers in shades of bright yellow, gold, cream and white

Your florist will make you a beautiful arrangement called a “spray”, the freshest flowers of the season arranged into florist foam. The foam holds water meaning that your tribute will arrive at its destination in perfect condition. The shape is roughly a teardrop shape, tapering to a point at one end. This is both a traditional and natural looking display, with the flower stems being left a little bit longer than on say a wreath or posy style funeral arrangement.

Many varieties of flowers can be used, often including oriental lilies, longi lilies, lizianthus, roses, carnations, spray carnations, statice, wax flower, september flower, solidago, eryngium, hypericum berries, eucalyptus, ruscus, parviola, leather leaf, aspidistra leaves, palm leaves, twigs, pussy willow and bere grass strands.
