I can\u2019t really say this was a pleasure to do but I can say knowing how much she would have loved it kept me motivated. I decided to make our Oma\u2019s casket spray for her funeral in July of 2015. My sister did the arrangements around the casket<\/p>\n

I took some of her favourite flowers from her actual garden at the cottage, and mixed them with some light tones; Mostly white and blue hydrangeas, Casablanca lilies, lisianthus, snapdragons, and some beautiful snapdragons<\/p>\n

I added the white ribbon with \u2018Oma\u2019 and \u2018mom written on the sides for greens I used mostly salal leaf which is my absolute favourite filler. I also put in some bear grass just give some height and we used willow branches cut fresh from her trees (after stripping the leaves)<\/p>\n

The arrangements were based on actual birch stumps from our cottage. We hollowed out the top about 5 inches into the stump. We then lined the inside with a thick plastic and stuffed a pre-soaked oasis foam inside. Tape kept this secured and we were able to arrange our flowers as needed<\/p>\n\n\n
