What to write — and what to avoid
Keep it short, name the person if you can, and acknowledge the loss directly rather than trying to explain it away.
Avoid clichés that can feel dismissive to someone grieving: "they’re in a better place", "everything happens for a reason", "stay strong", or "at least they lived a long life". A simple, specific memory almost always lands better than a grand statement.

FAQ
- What do you write on a funeral flower card?
- A short, sincere line that names the person if possible and acknowledges the loss — for example, "Margaret’s kindness stays with everyone who knew her. Thinking of you today." Keep it brief so it fits the card.
- What should you not write on a funeral flower card?
- Avoid phrases that minimise the loss, such as "they’re in a better place", "everything happens for a reason", or "stay strong". They can feel dismissive to someone grieving.
- How long should a funeral flower card message be?
- One to two short sentences is ideal. Flower and wreath cards are small, so a concise, heartfelt line works better than a long paragraph.
