What can I use instead of casket spray? ›

Vegetable coffin sprays

As a quirky alternative to a traditional funeral spray, using vegetables can be just as colourful and attractive, making a lovely centrepiece that tells a story to the people attending the funeral.

Funeral flower etiquette dictates that members of the family (including the children of the deceased, their siblings, and grandchildren) take care of the spray that covers the coffin.

What happens to flowers after the funeral? If the funeral is a burial, the flowers will typically stay in the grave once the plot has been 'made good'. If a cremation, it can be harder to know what to do.

The most traditional funeral flowers center around the lily. The lily can be a powerful symbol of the spirit of a loved one that offers hope and encouragement to a grieving family. White is a good color to send for a faith-based or religious service. Carnations are a very popular choice for sympathy flowers.

Many funeral homes actually smell like flower shops since there are often flowers all over the place. These aren't just any flowers, either. There are some very specific flowers that people will usually send to a funeral home following a person's death.

The average cost of a funeral spray is between $100 and $300. Of course, the final price will depend on the size and complexity of the arrangement, as well as the number of flowers used. If you are looking for a way to save money on funeral flowers, you may want to consider making your own casket spray.

Simple arrangements, such as bouquets or sprays, usually start around $50 to $100.

If the deceased has no spouse, the children have the honor of the casket flowers. For other services, children may provide sprays or funeral baskets of flowers; Grandchildren often wish to recognize their grandparent in the form of a single piece to represent them all.

The deceased's face is sometimes covered before the casket is closed to protect it from the inside lid of the casket. If the face does not need protection, it may still be covered at the funeral as a gesture of comfort, out of respect for the body, or due to Catholic tradition.

Can you touch the deceased at an open casket? ›

For open casket viewings family members are often given private time to view the body to allow them to grieve. Generally, you are not allowed to touch the body or make any comments about the person's appearance.

The coffin is placed into the cremator with the deceased inside and cremated until the process is complete.

Purple flowers represent respect, sorrow, sympathy and admiration. Yellow flowers signify friendship, warmth and hope. Pink flowers represent grace, compassion and innocence.

In the context of a funeral service, white roses symbolise purity, humility and innocence, whereas red express love and respect and pink represents gratefulness to the deceased. A yellow rose is often given by friends to denote their deep ties, while the traditional dark crimson rose suggests deep sorrow and grief.

Hyacinths

Much like roses, different colors of hyacinths have different meanings, but the purple hyacinth is a popular symbol of sorrow and regret. Sometimes, a simple acknowledgment of the family's grief is enough. These beautiful flowers let the family know that you are aware of their suffering and that you care.
