Funeral Flowers for Auntie: A Tribute in Her Colours
An auntie is often a second mum, a confidante or simply the one who made every visit fun. Here are the tributes nieces, nephews and the wider family most often choose to honour an aunt, each handmade by a local florist with care and attention to detail, and delivered before the service.
Choosing funeral flowers for auntie
The Auntie Wreath is a cheerful design of peach gerberas, apricot and coral carnations, cream chrysanthemums, peach roses and lilac lisianthus. If she loved pink or lilac, the Pink and Lilac Funeral Wreath is a lovely alternative, or the Purple and White Based Wreath: a base of glossy laurel and moss with a cluster of purple roses and lilies on top. A sheaf such as the Pink Funeral Sheaf of pink roses and lilies is tied with a blush ribbon, and a pink posy is a small floral tribute suitable for a younger niece or nephew. You can explore the whole collection in our funeral tributes.
Some shops offer a heart or a funeral tribute that spells AUNTIE; we don't make hearts or letters, only fresh flowers.
Colours that suit her
Think of the colours she wore or grew in her garden, and select a design that will show who she was. Soft peach and apricot feel sunny, pink feels tender, and lilac looks calm and respectful. Each product comes in Standard, Preferred and Elegant sizes; the larger sizes add more stems of the same flowers, a good choice if cousins share one special tribute.
What to write on the card
A short message will personalise the flowers and make them meaningful: "To the best auntie, thank you for all the fun. Love always". Most people write to the deceased, but you can address her family instead, and add a memory as a final touch. See our guide on what to write on funeral flowers for more.
Funeral delivery
A florist working locally will arrange and deliver your order to the funeral director, the church, the crematorium or another venue, Monday to Saturday from tomorrow onwards, with no Sunday or bank holiday deliveries and none to AB10 postcodes. Delivery is £12.49 per order to one address. Due to the seasonal availability of flowers, the florist may substitute flowers of a similar colour and style, of equal quality and value, so the exact blooms may differ slightly from the picture.
Questions about flowers for an aunt
How much does the Auntie Wreath cost?
It starts from £60.49 in the Standard size, plus £12.49 delivery per order.
Can I send flowers to her home instead?
Yes. A bouquet, a basket or an orchid plant from our sympathy flowers is a thoughtful gift and a quiet act of remembrance. Lilies are toxic to cats, so if her family have one, choose the pink basket or the orchid.
Should the flowers come from me or the whole family?
Either is fine. Cousins often share one larger tribute and all sign the message together.
