My 89 year old mother is planning her funeral. She wants the casket spray to look like Jackie’s. I can’t find an image of it anywhere on the web. Did anyone find an image?

Can someone please identify the specific type of greenery or ferns that were used on Jackie Onassis’ casket spray? That was one of the most unusual casket arrangements…very plain and very unusual. But the greenery surrounding the lily of the valley cross is different than anything I’ve seen before. Does anyone know the exact type and name? Thanks.

WE use Lily of the Valley especially spring time. They
grow easily in UK. I once scoured for small glass vases to put lilies and every table I used, I placed a small rounded mirror so the flowers reflect.

I love Lily of the valley lotion from Crabtree and Evelyn.

The thousands of lilly of the valley stems on Jackie’s casket arranged on an oasis shaped cross were flown in from Alsmeer and arranged by Robert Isabel. Her funeral was organized by George Trescher, now himself deceased, the prefered event planner of NYC’s old guard. Weddings, funerals, benefits, etc. all need the same skills, right? Just a little aside for Jackie fans.

Not sure where the name comes from… but you are SO BLOODY lucky that you have them in the garden. What a wonderful way to welcome the Spring season and herald the forthcoming summer. May I ask what country you live in?

I know the name but didn’t know, pardon my ignorance, that it was lily of the valley what we have in the garden that shoots up every Spring. Didn’t bother to look it up in the dictionary. Why the name Lily of the Valley? Anyway, we never cultivate them but they don’t forget to to show up every year, each time taking over a portion of the garden . Maigloeckchen (literal translation: Little May bells) is how we call them. Thanks.
