Funeral Ribbon Wording: We Bring You the Largest List of Texts for Family, Friends and Colleagues.
A funeral ribbon is the voice of your floral tribute. While flowers express respect and the transience of life, the ribbon carries your personal message, a final thank-you and farewell. But what exactly should you have printed on it to keep it dignified, fitting and legible?
We've put together an extensive list of texts for you to draw inspiration from. Our recommendations come from years of hands-on experience at our KvětinyExpres.cz branch by the Strašnice crematorium, where we help bereaved families find the right words every day.
Advice from our specialist Jana (Strašnice florist):
„Customers often worry the text might be too long. Remember that a funeral ribbon has two tails. We typically print the message on the left tail (e.g. ‚With love, we remember‘) and the signature on the right tail (e.g. ‚The Novák family‘). To keep the wording legible even from a distance in the ceremonial hall, I recommend choosing shorter, more striking texts. Our thermal-transfer printing technology ensures the lettering comes out beautifully gold or silver and won't smudge, even in the rain.“
