In moments of loss, a personalized message can offer profound comfort and express a love that words alone often cannot. While funeral flowers are a beautiful tribute, a banner on funeral flowers adds a deeply personal final word, a tender farewell attached to the floral arrangement. This small but significant detail transforms a beautiful gesture into a unique and heartfelt message, traditionally sent by those closest to the departed.
This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about choosing a banner for funeral flowers. From understanding their significance to selecting the perfect words and design, this resource will help you create a meaningful tribute during a difficult time.
A funeral flower banner is a ribbon, typically made of satin, that is inscribed with a short message and attached to a floral arrangement like a funeral spray or wreath. It serves as a visible, personal note from the sender, making it one of the most intimate tributes at a funeral service. Unlike a card, the banner’s message is displayed for all to see, becoming an integral part of the floral tribute itself.
Funeral banners are deeply significant because they represent the most personal sentiments of the immediate family. The message on the banner is a final, public declaration of love, respect, and remembrance. Traditionally, the closest family members—such as the spouse, children, parents, or siblings—are the ones who provide the main floral tribute, and the banner is their collective voice.
While other mourners send beautiful arrangements, the tribute with the banner is often considered the central piece from the family, making the choice of words and design especially important.
Understanding what others search for can help clarify options. Common search terms include:

The visual aspect of the banner is just as important as the words. The color of the ribbon and its pairing with the flowers contribute to the overall tone of the tribute.
Many florists offer options to customize the banner beyond the standard choices. You might be able to select a specific font, a less common ribbon color, or even add a small, simple graphic like a cross or a heart. This level of personalization ensures the tribute is truly unique and reflective of the person being honored.
