Product Information
Full details
The Oasis Foam Casket Tray is an essential tool for professional florists and DIY event planners who need a reliable, long-lasting foundation for large-scale floral displays. While specifically designed to provide a secure and stable base for memorial casket sprays, its 90cm size and moisture-retentive properties make it equally effective for centerpieces at weddings, birthdays, and seasonal celebrations; however, users should note that the tray is intended for single-use functionality due to the degradable nature of the foam.

FAQs
Can I reuse the foam tray?
Oasis foam is designed for single-use applications. Once flowers have been removed, the foam structure is typically compromised.
How much water can this tray hold?
The tray is designed to hold sufficient water to keep a full arrangement hydrated for several days, depending on the ambient temperature and flower species.
Does this tray fit all casket sizes?
The 90cm length is a standard industry size that fits most adult casket tops comfortably.
Can I use this for silk flowers?
Yes, this tray works well for silk or dried flower arrangements, though you will not need to soak the foam in water for these materials.
Is the plastic tray recyclable?
Check your local municipal recycling guidelines, but in most areas, the rigid plastic base can be cleaned and recycled after the foam is removed.
What is the best way to transport the finished tray?
Always transport on a flat, level surface. Ensure the arrangement is secured with floral tape if you expect movement during transit.
Troubleshooting
Foam has dry spots after soaking
Ensure you let the foam sink into the water naturally. Forcing it creates air pockets. If a dry spot is found, use a syringe to inject water directly into that area.
Flowers are drooping shortly after arrangement
Verify that you used flower food in the soaking water and that the stems were cut at a 45-degree angle to increase surface area for hydration.
The tray feels unstable on the display surface
Ensure the surface is level. You can use a small amount of non-slip matting or floral adhesive putty under the tray to increase grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your arrangement, begin by soaking the foam tray in water treated with flower food to maximize the longevity of your blooms. Once fully saturated, lay the tray on a flat, stable surface. Cut your stems at a 45-degree angle before inserting them into the foam to ensure better water uptake.
For care, keep the arrangement out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources like radiators or air vents, which can accelerate the wilting of flowers. While the tray is compatible with all standard floral types, ensure that heavier stems are inserted vertically through the center of the foam for maximum stability. When the event concludes, the foam can be removed and disposed of, and the plastic tray may be cleaned and recycled according to local guidelines.
