My Dad is supposed to bring a sprig of flowers to a funeral. Does anyone know what that is?
What is a sprig of flowers mean?
A sprig is usually just one small stem, not a bouquet at all. If it is to lay on a casket, then the custom is to bring just a single beautiful flower, i.e., one rose, or one lily, or one stem of anything pretty from your garden, or one of the deceased's favorite flower, whatever that may be...
