What to Write on Funeral Flower Banners in Traditional Chinese

Sending flowers to a Hong Kong funeral is often accompanied by a condolence banner. These messages are short, formal, and written in Traditional Chinese. Common phrases include:

  • 永遠懷念 (Forever in our memory)
  • 深切哀悼 (Deepest condolences)
  • 安息主懷 (Rest in the Lord’s embrace – for Christian funerals)

A florist offering personalized wedding baskets may also provide calligraphy services to ensure your message is beautifully presented.

Avoid overly personal or poetic messages unless you are very close to the deceased. Inappropriate phrases or slang could be seen as disrespectful in this solemn context.

Most banners are printed vertically and mounted above or alongside the floral arrangement. Ensure correct character alignment and font style. Traditional brush-style calligraphy is preferred.

For business or corporate senders, it is common to include the company name or department. This formal recognition provides clarity for the family and adds a level of professionalism to the tribute.
