Guide to choosing the right funeral letters tributes

Funeral letters or funeral letter tributes are a personal and visually meaningful way to pay respects to someone special. Whether it’s a name, a family role, or a meaningful word, these floral arrangements offer a heartfelt tribute at a funeral or memorial service.

What are funeral letters tributes?

These floral tributes are arranged in the shape of letters, often used to spell names like MUM, DAD, or GRANDAD. Others may choose words such as LOVE, PEACE, or a nickname that holds personal meaning. Typically placed near the coffin or at the front of the service, they form a focal point for remembrance.

Design options

Letter tributes can be fully customised to reflect the life and personality of the person being remembered. Options include:

• Lettering: Any word, name, or phrase that feels appropriate.
• Flower types: Choose favourites such as roses, lilies, carnations, or seasonal blooms.
• Colour palette: Soft and traditional, bold and bright, or anything in between.
• Style: Either a neat based design (often edged with ribbon) or a looser, more natural look.

We can also incorporate small personal touches if there’s something you’d like to include.
