Advice From Specialist Jana (Funeral Floristry):
"There's a big difference between text for a ribbon and text for a condolence card. For a ribbon, choose short, striking texts (max. 3–5 words), so they're legible even from a distance in the ceremonial hall. Longer, more personal messages belong on a paper condolence card or in a letter."
