Funeral Flowers for Nan
Gentle pinks, lilacs and creams for the gran or grandma who held the family together. Each funeral tribute is made by a local florist and delivered to the funeral director or the family home.
Choosing funeral flowers for nan
Start with what she loved. If she grew roses in the garden, a rose sheaf or posy feels right. If lilac or purple was her colour, the Nan Funeral Wreath mixes lilac roses and carnations with daisies. Soft shades suit a granny who was warm and gentle, while an all-white floral tribute is calm and traditional.
We don't make letter tributes that spell out her name, so we offer wreaths, sprays and sheaves in the flowers she liked instead.
Which tribute suits the service
- Coffin spray: usually sent by her children, resting on the coffin lid.
- Wreath or sheaf: a lovely choice from grandchildren, placed by the coffin or at the graveside.
- Posy: a small, round funeral flower tribute from one grandchild or a great-grandchild.
If her daughter or son is also looking, our funeral flowers for mum share the same soft palette, so the tributes sit well together.
Flowers for the family home
A lilac sympathy basket or a vase arrangement is a kind gesture for your grandad, or for a mother who has lost her own mum. Sending flowers to the house brings comfort in the quiet days after the loss, and the flowers stay as a reminder of a happy memory long after the service.
The card message
A short, heartfelt line is enough to express love and respect. "Thank you for everything" says a great deal. Our card message guide has more ideas, including lines for a wife or a grandmother.
Ordering and flower delivery
Choose the funeral date at checkout. Flower delivery is £12.49 per order, Monday to Saturday from tomorrow onwards. Larger sizes add more stems of the same flowers. If one is not available, the florist may substitute a flower of the same colour and style, of equal or greater value, so availability never changes the look of the design.
