Standing Sprays
A standing spray is a large, one-sided arrangement displayed on an easel at a visitation or service, designed to be seen from the front. Bentley Florist creates and delivers standing sprays across Burton, Flint, and Genesee County, and we are glad to help you choose one that fits the room and the person.
What a standing spray is
A standing spray is a tall floral tribute built on an easel so it can stand on its own at the front of a visitation room, chapel, or graveside. Because it is meant to be viewed from one direction, designers arrange it as a one-sided piece — full and finished from the front, flat against the easel at the back. This shape lets it make a strong impression without taking up floor space that the family and guests need. You will see standing sprays near the casket, beside a photo display, or flanking the room, quietly framing the space where everyone gathers to remember.
Who usually sends one
Standing sprays are a natural choice for people close to the family but outside the immediate household — extended relatives, close friends, coworkers, congregations, and organizations often send them. They read as a significant, visible tribute, which is why groups sometimes pool together for a single spray rather than sending several smaller pieces. The immediate family typically focuses on the casket spray and largest arrangements, so a standing spray from you complements those without overlapping. If you are unsure whether a spray suits your relationship, tell us who you were to the person and we will point you to a fitting size and style.
How ordering and delivery work
Call us at 810-742-3174 or order online, and keep the obituary nearby if you have it. We will ask for your loved one's name, the funeral home or church, and the service date and time, then confirm the delivery window directly with the venue so the spray is standing in place before guests arrive. Let us know a favorite color or flower and we will work it in. Same-day delivery is available for orders placed before 2pm; if the service is sooner than that, call us and we will tell you honestly what is possible in the time available.
How to Choose Well
- Standing sprays are one-sided — perfect for the front of a room or graveside.
- A good fit for close friends, coworkers, and groups sending together.
- One shared spray often carries more weight than several small pieces.
- Soft whites suit any service; a favorite color makes it personal.
- Include the service time so we place it well before guests arrive.
- Tell us the venue and we coordinate the easel placement for you.

Common Questions
What is the difference between a standing spray and a casket spray?
A standing spray sits on an easel and is viewed from the front, while a casket spray rests on top of the casket and is chosen by the immediate family. Standing sprays are the more common choice for friends, coworkers, and extended family.
Who typically sends a standing spray?
Extended family, close friends, coworkers, congregations, and organizations most often send standing sprays. Groups frequently combine into one larger spray, which makes a meaningful shared tribute.
Will it be ready before the service?
Yes — we confirm the visitation and service times with the venue when you order and deliver ahead of schedule so the spray is standing in place before anyone arrives. Same-day delivery is available for orders placed before 2pm.
