Nan Funeral Wreath: A Floral Tribute in Lilac and White

What is in the nan funeral wreath

Lilac roses and lilac carnations form the ring, with white daisies and clouds of white gypsophila between them. Soft and airy, it is a loving tribute to a cherished grandmother. It is displayed flat at the funeral, and its unbroken circle is a quiet sign of eternal life and remembrance. The florist uses the freshest stems available that week. As for flower care, a fresh wreath keeps best out of direct sun and heat if the family takes it home or leaves it at the grave.

One tribute from all the grandchildren

Grandchildren often want to contribute, and many families send one larger funeral tribute from everyone rather than several small ones. One person can collect the money and buy it, and all your names go on the same card, whether she was Nan, Nana or Nanny to you. The Elegant size gives a fuller nan tribute to share, a way for a cherished family to honour her together.

Many florists make funeral letters that spell NAN, one letter at a time on a base edged with ribbon, but we don't make letter tributes or other personalised tributes of that kind; this is a fresh-flower design, and your words on the card make it personal.

Which colours suit funeral flowers for her?

Soft lilac, pink and white are the most popular choice for a grandmother, because they feel warm and kind. If she loved a brighter colour, yellow is just as suitable; on such a sad occasion, flowers that reflect her mean more than any rule. The Pink and Lilac Funeral Wreath pairs carnations with lilac iris, white daisies and lisianthus, and the Yellow Funeral Wreath brings gerberas, carnations and chrysanthemums in yellow and cream. Our nan funeral flowers page shows them all in one place.

Adding a spray or a basket

A wreath is often sent alongside a spray, a teardrop of flowers laid on the coffin, beside it or at the graveside. The Purple Funeral Spray, in purple and lilac, sits well beside this ring, and an all-white spray with lilies and lisianthus suits any colour scheme. For the family home, a lilac sympathy basket of lilies, carnations, lisianthus and chrysanthemums is a kind arrangement they can keep. If colleagues want to send corporate flowers to someone who has lost their nan, a basket for the home is often a better fit than a wreath.

Sizes and flower delivery

Larger sizes add more stems of the same flowers, so the floral tribute looks fuller. Due to the seasonal availability of flowers, our skilled florists may substitute flowers or individual stems from those shown for others similar in style and colour, keeping the same quality and value or better.
