A large based cross could be an alternative to a Casket Spray.
Smaller crosses are also a lovely tribute from grandchildren or siblings.
The cross has been described as the “sign of signs”. In Christian religion it is a symbol of sacrifice and salvation in reference to the crucifixion of Jesus on the Cross.
The base is traditionally formed in double white chrysanthumums with your choice of colour spray and ribbon or foliage edge.
