Funeral wreaths and standing sprays are typically ordered and delivered before the wake or while the deceased's remains are still at the mortuary. These memorial flowers are then placed beside the casket or in a prominent location where mourners can view them during the wake, whether held in a home, chapel, or funeral home, as well as during the church service.

The immediate family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, or even public figures like politicians may order these standing sprays and wreath arrangements online from providers like Sympathy Flowers Philippines, which offers same-day delivery of affordable funeral flower packages to the family, schools, churches, or funeral homes.
