A Lasting Tribute: What to Write on Funeral Flowers?
If you want to express your sorrow, regret, and longing in words, let them be words that come straight from the heart. Check what farewell sentences to put on the funeral sash.
Floristry Tips & Tricks Introduction
When sending funeral flowers, it's important to include a message that expresses your condolences and respects the memory of the deceased. The funeral sash is a traditional way to add a personal touch to the flowers, and it consists of two "arms" of similar length.
The first ribbon contains the content addressed to the deceased, indicating your relationship with the person and emphasizing your affection for them. It may also include a short sentence or a characteristic saying that reflects their personality or the relationship you shared. On the other "shoulder" of the ribbon, we place the signature of the person or persons laying the flowers, so the recipient knows who sent the flowers.
It's important to keep the message short and sweet, as the florist may need to write it in tiny letters, so it fits on the ribbon. If the message is too long, it may become unreadable or look cluttered. Alternatively, the florist can add another ribbon to cover the flowers, making them less visible and giving more space for the message.
Using surnames on the sash is not recommended, as it may cause confusion if more people in the family have the same name. Instead, consider including the city of the person sending the flowers, as it adds a personal touch and helps distinguish the sender. For example:
"With love and fond memories - Katie from London".
Remember that the message on the funeral sash should express sympathy and respect, while also reflecting the personality and relationship with the deceased. It's a simple but meaningful way to show that you care and to honor their memory.
What to write on the first part of the funeral ribbon?
The first ribbon should be short and concise, as space is limited. It should include the name of the deceased and indicate the relationship between the sender and the person who has passed away. You can also include a short phrase or sentence that conveys your feelings towards the deceased or a shared memory you have with them. Here are some examples:
- In loving memory of our dear auntie Mary - from John and family
- Remembering our dear friend Katie - with love from the Johnson family
- With heartfelt sympathy on the loss of father Thomas - from the Smith family
- Rest in peace, our dear friend - from your colleagues at XYZ company
What to write on the second part of the funeral ribbon?
The second part of the ribbon should include the name or names of the people or group who are laying the flowers. This can include family members, friends, or colleagues. Here are some examples:
- From daughter Sophia and family

- From Liam and Emma, with the love and support of the family
- With deepest sympathy, from all of us at ABC company
