Coffin flowers (also known as coffin sprays) are floral arrangements designed to sit on top of a coffin during a funeral service. The term “casket flowers” is often used interchangeably, particularly in modern funeral settings. At Lillypad Florist Melbourne, both refer to bespoke tribute arrangements designed with care to honour and celebrate a loved one’s life.
Yes, we specialise in fully custom coffin and casket flowers across Melbourne. Each arrangement is individually designed using your choice of flowers, colours and style. Whether you prefer elegant white lilies, classic roses, native Australian blooms or soft pastel tones, we create meaningful floral tributes tailored to your loved one.
We recommend ordering coffin flowers 2–5 days in advance where possible. This ensures access to the freshest blooms and allows us to carefully prepare flowers at the correct stage of opening for the service. However, we understand funeral arrangements can be urgent and always do our best to accommodate short-notice requests.
Yes, Lillypad delivers directly to all funeral homes, churches and memorial venues across Melbourne. We coordinate closely with funeral directors to ensure timely delivery and respectful placement before the service begins.
Popular choices include white roses, Oriental lilies, chrysanthemums, orchids, carnations and seasonal native flowers. White flowers are traditionally used to represent peace and remembrance, while coloured designs can reflect personality, love and celebration of life.

Pricing varies depending on size, flower selection and design style. Smaller coffin sprays generally start from a few hundred dollars, while larger premium casket arrangements using luxury blooms may cost more. We always work within your budget while ensuring a beautiful and respectful result.

Yes, we can design coordinated funeral flower sets including wreaths, heart tributes, crosses, vase arrangements and memorial pieces. Many families choose matching designs to create a consistent floral theme throughout the service.
Yes, this is very important. If the coffin or casket has a curved or domed top, we must be informed at the time of ordering. Curved casket flowers require a specially constructed base and internal framework so the arrangement sits securely and follows the natural shape of the casket. At Lillypad Florist Melbourne, we custom-build these designs to ensure a seamless, elegant and balanced tribute for the service.
