Nan Letters

Product Details

Funeral Flowers for Nan – Letter Tribute A tribute spelling "Nan" in fresh seasonal flowers, each letter built individually on a secure frame. About 3ft across in total. Two working days to prepare. Delivered direct to funeral homes, churches, crematoriums, and graveside locations. Letter tributes are one of the more personal choices in funeral floristry. A wreath or a spray says someone was loved. A name says exactly who — and in this case, who sent it. "Nan" identifies the relationship clearly, which is often what makes it the right tribute for a family to choose: it marks not just the loss but the specific people doing the grieving. The arrangement Each letter sits on its own frame, covered fully in flowers. The three letters are made to balance and proportion so the word reads cleanly at a service, from a distance and from different angles. Up close, the surface has real texture — the combination of flower types, foliage, and the way the stems are set into the foam gives each letter depth rather than a flat even coverage. Roses, chrysanthemums, and carnations with fresh foliage are the typical flowers, chosen for how they hold across a letter surface and how they look throughout a service. The specific combination depends on what's in best seasonal condition when the tribute is made. Colours and personalisation Soft pastels — pinks, warm creams, lavenders. A popular choice for this tribute, and a palette that tends to feel warm and personal rather than formal. Whites and creams — traditional and dignified. Works alongside any other tributes at the service. A favourite colour — if she had one, use it. Whether that's a particular pink she wore in her garden, the colour of her favourite flowers, or something else entirely, include it when ordering and the florists will build around it. Specific flowers can also be requested — something she grew, something associated with her, something the family connects with her. Ribbons and finishing details can be added. Mention anything that matters when ordering. A note about Nan specifically "Nan" is one of the most ordered letter tributes. It tends to come from grandchildren — sometimes adult grandchildren who knew her for decades, sometimes younger ones who are experiencing loss for the first time. The tribute works for all of them because the word itself does the work. It doesn't need a long explanation or a card to tell the family at the service who it's from and what it means. If she was known by a different name — Gran, Nana, Grandma, or something else entirely — the same tribute can be made to any name or word. A first name, a nickname, or a word that captures something about her. Get in touch and the florists will advise on what works with different letter counts and lengths. Other letter tributes The same format is available for Mum, Dad, Grandad, and any name or relationship. Custom names and words can also be made — contact the shop to discuss.
