At Spearwood Florist, we focus on both beauty and logistics. For a standard casket, we typically design the spray at a height of 26 cm to ensure it fits comfortably inside the hearse during transport. Before we begin crafting, we liaise directly with your funeral director—whether it’s Seasons, Bowra & O'Dea, Oakwood, or Chipper Funerals—to confirm dimensions and placement. We offer both full couch sprays and half couch sprays to accommodate your specific service needs, ensuring your family's tribute is perfectly secured well before the service begins.
1) What is a casket spray?
A casket spray is a large floral arrangement designed to sit on top of the coffin or casket during the service.
2) How do I choose the right size?
Sizes vary based on coffin/casket dimensions and whether the spray is full-length or half-length. If you’re unsure, we can recommend a suitable size—just share the funeral director’s details and service location.
3) Do you deliver casket sprays directly to the funeral home?
Yes. Please provide the funeral home name, service time, and the deceased’s name so we can coordinate delivery timing.
4) Can I request specific colours or flowers?
Yes. We can tailor the colour palette and flower selection where seasonal availability allows.
5) Who is a casket spray appropriate for?
By tradition, the casket spray (or coffin topper) is ordered exclusively by the immediate family (such as the spouse, children, parents, or siblings). It serves as the central focal point of the service, sitting directly on top of the coffin. Etiquette note: If you are a friend, colleague, or extended relative, we recommend choosing a wreath or sheaf instead.
6) What is the"difference between a "Full Couch",“Half Couch" and "Standing Sprtay"?
7) How do you ensure the flowers fit inside the hearse?
This is a critical logistical detail that many overlook. At Spearwood Florist, we design our standard casket sprays with a specific height profile (typically 26 cm) to ensure they fit comfortably inside the hearse without being crushed during transport. We prioritise both beauty and logistics so the tribute looks perfect from the chapel to the graveside.
8) Do I need to coordinate with the funeral director?
No, we handle that for you. We liaise directly with your funeral director—whether it’s Seasons, Bowra & O’Dea, Oakwood, or Chipper Funerals—to confirm the exact dimensions of the coffin and the delivery time. We ensure the tribute is delivered and securely placed well before the service begins.
9) How early should I order a casket or coffin spray?
Order as early as possible to secure the best flower selection and coordinate with the service time. At least three working days’ notice is preferable. Same-day orders may be difficult.
