{"id":23,"count":7,"description":"<h1><strong>Funeral Tributes<\/strong><\/h1>\r\nFuneral tributes \u2014 also known as named or letter tributes \u2014 are floral pieces that spell out a relationship or a name in solid blooms, typically displayed at the head of the casket or carried in the hearse. They are among the most personal expressions of grief and love, naming the bond between the deceased and the family member who chose them. Every letter tribute in our collection is composed by hand by our network of trusted local florists across Greater London.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_208\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"182\"]<img class=\"wp-image-208\" title=\"Red MUM funeral letters tribute\" src=\"https:\/\/sympathyflowers.london\/florist\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/sfl-tr-03.webp\" alt=\"Red MUM funeral letters tribute\" width=\"182\" height=\"221\" \/> MUM Red Rose Funeral Letters[\/caption]\r\n<h3><strong>Choosing a Funeral Tribute<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe most common letter tributes are MUM, DAD, GRANDAD, NAN and BROTHER or SISTER, but we compose any name, word or short phrase to brief \u2014 including short messages such as REST IN PEACE or simply the deceased's first name. Each letter is built on a foam frame and packed with blooms in a single colour or a coordinated palette so the word reads cleanly from a distance.\r\n\r\nThe standard letter height is around 9 inches, suitable for transport in the hearse and for placement in chapels of rest. Larger pieces of 12\u201318 inches are available for graveside services and outdoor venues, where their scale befits the occasion.\r\n<h3><strong>Symbolism of the Blooms<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Red Roses:<\/strong> Deep love and lasting devotion \u2014 the most chosen for partner and parent tributes.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>White Chrysanthemums:<\/strong> Honour, loyalty and lasting friendship.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Pink Carnations:<\/strong> A mother's love and remembrance.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Mixed Seasonal Blooms:<\/strong> A celebration of a colourful life, often chosen for grandparents and friends.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Cream Roses with Eucalyptus:<\/strong> Quiet elegance for formal services.
