Standing sprays

Standing sprays and easel pieces for a Muskogee funeral

A standing spray rests on an easel near the casket or urn. It is one of the most common ways friends, coworkers and churches send flowers to a service.

Muskogee Flowers is a free referral line. Your order is taken, arranged and delivered by an independent local florist.

Why people choose a standing piece

At most services in Muskogee, the front of the chapel is lined with flowers on easels. Standing sprays are tall enough to be seen from the pews, and the card stays with the piece so the family can see who sent it later.

Common shapes include a tall one-sided spray, a round wreath, a heart and a cross. Groups often go in together, such as a Sunday school class, a team at work or a graduating class. If your group wants to sign the card with one name, decide on the wording before you call.

Because these pieces are big, they need a little lead time. Call as soon as you know the service time. Our funeral flower etiquette guide covers who usually sends what.

Ideas

Before you order

  • Confirm the place

    A service at a church may need the flowers there instead of the funeral home. Tell the florist.

  • Plan the card

    For group gifts, use the name the family will recognize, like Your friends at work or the Muskogee High Class of 1985.

  • Think about afterward

    Easel pieces are hard to take home. Some people send a smaller sympathy plant to the house as well.

Questions

Good to know before you call

Can a standing spray go to a church?

Yes, if the service is at the church. Give the florist the church name and service time.

Do I need to bring an easel?

No. The florist delivers the piece ready to stand.

What colors are appropriate?

Anything that suits the person. White and soft colors are traditional, but bright colors are common now too.
