What would be the best thing to do in this situation? Send flowers? After a quick and simple online search you will be able to find a vast amount of information on what kind of flowers to send and how. Flower arrangements symbolize different things. Below are the meanings behind some of these arrangements.

Spray/Wreath: As far as sprays go, you can have a half couch, which would be used on an open casket or a full couch that can be used on a closed casket. In the case where there isn't a casket, or just a memorial service is being held, a wreath is usually placed. These are filled with flowers of all sorts of colors and types, also depending on the deceased favorite. These are used at the visitation, service and also at the grave site. They can be placed on a tripod stand and displayed after the service is over, in a home.

Fireside Basket: This is a low handled basket which is normally placed low on the floor near the casket at the service. This is sent to the funeral home or church.
