Sympathy Tribute Styles Available from First Glance Florist

Standing Sprays and Easel Arrangements

Standing sprays are one of the most common tributes at a funeral service. They display upright on a wire easel and can be positioned near the casket, altar, or entrance. First Glance Florist offers a range of sizes to suit both intimate family services and larger gatherings.

Funeral Wreaths and Rings

A circular wreath carries a quiet, enduring significance at any service. Its form speaks to continuity and remembrance. Wreaths work beautifully at a graveside service or displayed at the funeral home entrance as a dignified tribute to the person being remembered.

Casket Flowers and Sprays

Casket flowers rest directly on the casket and are among the most personal tributes a family can choose. First Glance Florist designs both full-casket and half-casket sprays using fresh flowers in colors and varieties that reflect the personality and spirit of your loved one.

Sympathy Bouquets and Vase Arrangements

Sympathy bouquets and vase arrangements offer a softer, more personal way to express condolence. These are sent to the family home rather than the service, and their gentler scale makes them a meaningful gesture in the days and weeks following a loss.

Memorial and Tribute Pieces

Some families want something created specifically to honor who their loved one was. Donna Labordeworks personally with families to design custom memorial arrangements that reflect a life lived. These pieces go beyond the standard tribute to tell a personal story through flowers.
