Casket Sprays Designed to rest on top of the casket, these lush arrangements can be full-length or half-size. Our designers ensure each casket spray is beautifully coordinated and delivered on time.
Urn & Cremation Flowers For cremation services, we create custom urn wreaths, garlands, and accent arrangements featuring orchids, roses, lilies, and other meaningful blooms.
Wreaths & Crosses Wreaths symbolize eternal life, while cross-shaped designs are traditional in Christian services. Both can be delivered to the funeral home, church, or cemetery.
