Meet Dan & learn how to choose funeral flowers

Funeral & Sympathy Flowers is one of Dan's Specialties.

Dan takes the time to listen, to learn about the person who has passed, their personality, their favorite flowers or colors, and what they meant to those around them. While designing, he keeps the person and their stories at the heart of his work.

From traditional casket sprays and standing sprays to custom funeral wreaths, Dan works closely with families to create a tribute that feels exactly right.

FUNERAL FLOWER GUIDE
funeral home shop by color palette family

Prefer to shop by Color Palette?

The immediate family members usually decide on the casket spray, standing sprays, wreaths, and altar arrangements. A unified color palette ties these pieces together. It provides a polished, intentional backdrop that brings a sense of order and calm.

Agreeing on a color palette allows extended family, friends, and coworkers to order independently while ensuring their final pieces will coordinate perfectly on the day of the service.

Casket Cover Sprays

A Casket Cover Spray is a large floral arrangement designed to be placed directly on the casket. It is typically selected by the closest family member(s). It rests directly on top of the casket lid. Half-Size Casket sprays rest on the lower portion, covering roughly 3 feet of the casket. It is best for open-casket viewings. Full-Size Casket Sprays extend across the entire length of the lid. Best for closed-casket services. All featured half-sized casket cover sprays can be made into full-size. Call the shop for pricing.

Cremation Urn Wreaths

An Urn Wreath is a beautiful way to create a meaningful focal point for a cremation service. This specialized floral arrangement gracefully encircles the base of the urn, highlighting its presence on the altar or presentation table. By framing the vessel in flowers, it transforms the display into a dignified, prominent tribute that beautifully honors your loved one's memory. Typically, the immediate family member(s) order the urn wreath.
