Tropical Paradise Mache

This mache grew out of a simple idea: red and white can carry as much feeling as an all-white design, without losing any of the respect a service calls for. The ribbon was the last touch, a small detail that makes the piece feel finished rather than just assembled.

This mache raises a few practical questions about size and timing.

What's in This Funeral Flower Basket: Red anthuriums and white carnations lead the design, with button and fuji mums adding texture and a ribbon finishing the edge. Green foliage fills any remaining gaps so baskets like this look complete from every side.

Red and White Contrast: This pairing reads bolder than an all-white design without losing the traditional, respectful feel a service calls for. It's a fitting choice for family members who want color without straying too far from convention.

Standard, Deluxe, and Premium Sizes: Premium includes the fullest count of blooms at the highest price, Standard the most modest and gentlest gift, and Deluxe sits in between. The flower selection and the ribbon detail stay consistent across all three.

Who Typically Sends This: Neighbors, extended family, and close friends often choose this piece when they want to mark a death with something more personal than a simple bouquet. It suits a wake, a viewing, or a graveside gathering, much like our floor baskets collection.

Delivery to the Funeral Home: Share the service date and the funeral home's name at checkout, and our team times when we deliver so this mache arrives ahead of guests, in most areas nationwide.

• No water or extra care is needed once it arrives, not live plants.
• The floral foam underneath keeps everything fresh through the service.
• Ahead of the Service: If there's a gap of a few hours before it needs to be on display, keep it out of direct heat.
• For an Outdoor Service: This mache travels fine to the cemetery or a graveside gathering, though a warm, sunny afternoon will shorten how long the blooms stay fresh.

• If a specific mum or carnation variety runs short, our designers substitute one of equal or greater value while holding the red-and-white color story steady, a small mourning tradition kept intact.

What flowers make up this mache?

Red anthuriums and white carnations lead, with button and fuji mums for texture and a ribbon around the edge. Small substitutions can happen depending on the week.

How does a mache differ from a casket spray?

A mache stands on its own near the casket rather than resting on top of it, similar to other floor baskets but rounder, paired sometimes with casket sprays.

Can several people go in on one order together?

Yes, neighbors or relatives often split the cost of a single piece like this rather than sending several smaller ones.

What separates the three sizes?

Premium and Deluxe carry more blooms for a fuller look, while Standard keeps a smaller, simpler shape. All three use the same flowers.

Can this arrive before the service starts?

Yes, add the service time at checkout and our team plans the delivery window around it.

Is this suitable for an outdoor graveside service?

Yes, it holds up well outdoors, though we'd suggest shade if the service falls on a hot afternoon.
