What is the purpose of a casket saddle in floral arrangements?

The purpose of a casket saddle in floral arrangements is to hold the arrangement above the casket. This specialized piece of floral design equipment is crafted to securely hold arrangements in place while creating an aesthetically pleasing appearance during memorial services. The saddle gently cradles the floral arrangement, allowing it to be displayed prominently on top of the casket without obstructing the viewing of the deceased.

The design of a casket saddle also typically allows for easy attachment and removal, facilitating the placement of flowers at the service or event. While the arrangement might also serve a decorative function and support the weight of the flowers, the primary purpose is its ability to effectively hold the arrangement above the casket in a respectful and visually appealing manner.
