A casket spray is the floral tribute placed on the casket itself, and it is usually chosen by the immediate family. Milano's UpTowne Florist, family owned in Columbus since 1935, designs each casket spray by hand and delivers it directly to the funeral home or church.
Sprays can be designed in classic whites, soft pastels, patriotic red, white and blue, garden-style colors, or a palette built around a loved one's favorite flowers or faith tradition.
Choosing a casket spray
Full or half
A full casket spray covers more of a closed casket. A half casket spray is smaller and is used when the casket is open during the visitation or service.
Flowers and greens
Designs may include roses, lilies, carnations, orchids, hydrangeas, mums, snapdragons, stock, delphinium and seasonal blooms with fresh greenery, depending on availability.
Help deciding
If you're unsure what to order, our florists can recommend a design based on the type of service, the casket, colors and budget. Call 614-889-1001.
Funeral homes we commonly serve

Where we deliver
We deliver to funeral homes, churches and graveside services in Columbus, Worthington, Dublin, Powell, Upper Arlington, Westerville, Lewis Center, Delaware, Hilliard, Clintonville, Plain City, Bexley, New Albany and Galena. Include the funeral home, service date and time, and the name of your loved one so the spray arrives before the service.
The casket spray is normally selected by the closest family members or the people coordinating funeral arrangements. Check with the family or funeral director before ordering so there is one coordinated design and the correct casket type, dimensions, colors, and service schedule.
What is the difference between a full-couch and half-couch casket spray?
A full-couch casket spray is designed for a closed casket or a service where the full lid remains covered. A half-couch spray is sized for an open-casket presentation where part of the lid is raised. Confirm the casket configuration with the funeral home before ordering.
How early should I order casket flowers before a funeral service?
It is best to order casket flowers as early as possible so our florists have time to source the flowers, design the arrangement, and coordinate funeral home delivery. For urgent needs, call Milano's UpTowne Florist at 614-889-1001 to confirm availability and timing.
Can casket flowers be customized?
Yes. Casket flowers can often be customized by color, flower type, style, size, or theme. Families may request favorite flowers, meaningful colors, patriotic designs, garden-style flowers, elegant whites, soft pastels, or another design direction that reflects the loved one.
What information do you need for funeral home delivery?
For funeral home delivery, please provide the funeral home name, complete address, service date, visitation or funeral time, recipient family name, the name of the loved one, and any special delivery instructions. Accurate details help ensure the flowers arrive at the right location and time.
Can you help me choose appropriate casket flowers?
Yes. If you are unsure what to order, call Milano's UpTowne Florist at 614-889-1001. Our florist team can help you choose casket flowers based on the service type, family preference, color palette, budget, and delivery timing.
