Funeral standing sprays in Columbus and Central Ohio
A standing spray is a large floral tribute displayed on an easel near the casket or urn at a visitation, funeral or memorial service. Milano's UpTowne Florist, family owned in Columbus since 1935, designs each spray by hand and delivers it directly to the funeral home or church.
Standing sprays are often sent by family members, close friends, or a group of coworkers or neighbors who want to make a visible tribute.
Choosing a standing spray
Spray, wreath, heart or cross
A spray is one sided and designed to be seen from the front. Wreaths, hearts and crosses are shaped tributes that are also displayed on easels; choose with the family's beliefs and the tone of the service in mind.
Color
White and soft colors are traditional, while a favorite color or bright mix can celebrate a life well lived.
A ribbon
A ribbon banner with a short title such as Mother, Grandpa or Friend can often be added. Confirm the exact wording when you order.
When to order
A standing spray must arrive before the visitation or service begins. Include the deceased's full name, the funeral home or church, and the visitation and service times.

When should funeral flowers be delivered?
Funeral flowers should arrive before the visitation, viewing, service, or memorial begins. Provide the deceased's name, funeral home or church, date, and exact service or visitation time. Earlier ordering gives the florist more time to confirm details and design appropriately.
Can you deliver flowers before a funeral or visitation?
Yes, when the order is placed with enough lead time and the service details are accurate. Funeral deadlines receive special attention, but same-day feasibility depends on design complexity, flower availability, distance, and the funeral home's receiving schedule.
Can you add a funeral ribbon or banner?
Ribbon banners may be available for relationship titles or brief tribute wording. Text length, spelling, capitalization, ribbon color, placement, and lead time should be confirmed with the shop.
What is the difference between a wreath, heart, and cross?
These are shaped sympathy tributes displayed on easels. A wreath often symbolizes continuity, a heart expresses love, and a cross reflects Christian faith. The design should be chosen with the family's beliefs and the tone of the service in mind.
What funeral flowers should an immediate family member send?
Immediate family members often select casket sprays, urn flowers, large standing tributes, or coordinated family pieces. Because these designs require service details and family coordination, order directly with the florist rather than relying only on a generic online product.
