No flowers, no wreaths: a final gesture that carries meaning
May 2026
When a loved one passes away, words often fall short. And gestures, too, can be difficult to get right.
More and more families today are choosing a different way of paying tribute, by including the phrase “no flowers, no wreaths” in death notices.
Those few words point to a simple idea, namely to turn a moment of remembrance into an act of solidarity by inviting relatives and friends to support a cause that mattered to the deceased.
Giving meaning to a final tribute
The phrase “no flowers, no wreaths” expresses a simple wish: to replace an ephemeral gesture with an action that endures.
Whereas flowers fade within days, a donation can provide tangible support to a cause and, in a sense, extend the values of the person who has passed away.
It is also a way for loved ones to come together around a shared gesture, one that carries meaning and continuity.
A simple way to proceed
This approach is very straightforward.
