Evermore

Evermore: Coffin Flowers in Deep Red and Ivory

Some loves do not end; they simply change where they live. Evermore is a medium casket spray of deep red and ivory roses resting in olive leaves and soft fern, made for the family who wants the last word to be love. Our florists build each one by hand in our Claremont studio, as they have built coffin flowers for Cape Town and Johannesburg families since 1999, with steady hands and great care. It belongs to the same quiet family as our wreaths, farewell flowers and Heartfelt Moments collection.

At a Glance

• A medium coffin spray in deep red and ivory, designed to rest on the casket
• Velvet red roses and ivory roses set among olive branches and fern
• Made by hand to order in our Claremont studio
• Traditionally chosen by immediate family, often with both colours carrying meaning: love and honour
• Delivered with care to funeral homes, churches and chapels across Cape Town and Johannesburg
• From the florists families have trusted with their farewells since 1999

Red for the love that stays. White for the peace we wish them. Green for the life that goes on.

What Is in the Evermore Casket Spray

Deep red roses carry the love, ivory roses answer with peace, and the two alternate across the spray the way a long marriage alternates passion and calm. Olive branches, an ancient symbol of peace, weave through leather fern and glossy greenery so the spray rests naturally across the casket. Every spray is made to order and blooms shift gently with the seasons; the meaning does not. If you would like the palette adjusted, softer pinks or all white, phone the studio and our florists will make it so.

What Do Red and White Funeral Flowers Mean?

Red flowers at a funeral speak of enduring love, courage and respect; white flowers speak of peace, honour and a life completed. Together they are the traditional choice for a spouse, a parent or a grandparent: a declaration that love and honour travelled the whole road together. Flowers placed on the coffin itself are the most personal tribute at any service, chosen by those who knew the person best.

Choosing Coffin Flowers for the Service

The casket spray is usually chosen by immediate family, while friends and colleagues send wreaths and memorial flowers or standing pieces for memorial events. If you are supporting the family rather than arranging the service, a farewell gift or farewell gift box sent to the home often lands more gently than anything at the service itself. Our Inara grief support candle and Soy Lites Gratitude candle are quiet companions to a note in the weeks that follow.

Delivery to Services in Cape Town and Johannesburg

We deliver casket sprays directly to funeral homes, churches and chapels across Cape Town and Johannesburg, and we coordinate timing with the funeral director so the spray is in place before the family arrives. Because each spray is made to order and services keep fixed times, please order ahead and share the venue and service time at checkout, or contact our team and we will arrange it personally. For the home afterwards, our flower bouquets, gift boxes and gift hampers are there when the family is ready, and gentle pieces like the Tranquil Snow vase and Love's Language arrangement say what visits cannot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the flowers on a coffin called?

A casket spray or coffin spray: a long, low arrangement designed to rest on top of the casket. A full-length spray covers the whole casket, while a medium spray like Evermore covers roughly half and suits both burial and cremation services.

Who chooses the coffin flowers?

Traditionally the immediate family: a spouse, children or parents. It is the most personal floral tribute at the service, which is why friends and colleagues usually send wreaths or arrangements instead of a second spray.

What flowers are best for a coffin spray?

Roses are the most traditional choice, and red and white together carry the fullest meaning: love and peace side by side. Lilies, chrysanthemums and carnations are also common. Evermore keeps to roses and greenery for a reason; some statements are strongest unmixed.

How big is a medium coffin spray?

Evermore is designed to cover roughly half the length of the casket, generous enough to be seen from the back of the church without overwhelming the setting. If you need a full-length spray or something smaller, contact our team and we will make it to measure.

How much are coffin flowers?

It depends on the size of the spray and the flowers chosen, so we would rather you see the options than guess. Our team will talk you through what suits the service and the season; phone the studio and we will help you decide in a few minutes.

How do I time delivery to the service?

Give us the venue, date and service time at checkout, or phone us and we will liaise with the funeral home directly. We deliver ahead of the family's arrival across Cape Town and Johannesburg, and if the day's plans shift, we adjust with them. If words for the card are hard to find, our 200 flower quotes may help, and a rose from the spray can be kept afterwards; our guides to drying flowers and where to get flowers are there for the practical parts.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day.

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.
