A Single-ended funeral spray is a teardrop shaped floral arrangement that is rounded at one end and tapers to a point at the other. Designed to be viewed from one side, it features a flat base so it can lay perfectly flat on a coffin, grave site, or memorial plaque.

A Double ended funeral spray—often called a casket or coffin spray—is a symmetrical, elongated floral arrangement designed to lie flat. Tapering to points at both ends to form a diamond or kite shape, it is traditionally placed on top of the coffin as a primary tribute.
