Inscriptions on tapes

A mourning ribbon is not only an obligatory attribute of a funeral ritual, it is an opportunity to add individuality to a wreath or basket of flowers. Mounting is possible on wreaths made of fresh and artificial flowers, on compositions of any shape and size, including funeral baskets with flowers, wreaths made of pine needles and leaves. The ribbon can be decorated with a standard inscription or a unique text printed according to your wishes - words of love, sorrow, memory of the deceased.

Not so long ago, text was applied to tapes using paints and brushes; today, inscriptions are made using a plotter, then the cut out letters are pasted onto the material. As a rule, the length of the inscription does not exceed 10 words; longer text cannot be positioned on the tape so that it remains clearly readable. Therefore, the compilation of mournful phrases should be taken carefully.

It is not necessary to come up with an individual text, even if the deceased is yours close person. You can choose a tape with standard words that most fully express your grief. As a rule, the words “We mourn”, “I remember” are written on the tapes. I love you,” indicate who exactly presented this wreath to the deceased – “From relatives,” “From neighbors,” “From friends.”

The text is placed depending on the shape of the wreath and how the ribbon will be attached. If it is supposed to be fixed in the middle, then this place is left empty; if the ends of the tape are used for fastening, then the inscription should be in the center, and empty space is left on the sides.

Mourning ribbon color

According to tradition, the mourning ribbon on the wreath should be black; it is also possible to combine it with other colors - red, blue, burgundy, white. Each color carries a certain meaning: black speaks of grief, red and burgundy are symbols of tragedy, heartache, white indicates the sinless life of the deceased, most often wreaths with white mourning ribbons are presented to clergy.

Inscriptions on funeral wreaths are a ritual tradition that helps express pain and sorrow for the deceased.

Purpose

Mourning ribbons play an important role during the burial ceremony; they are attached to wreaths or baskets of flowers. They carry a special mysterious meaning when saying goodbye to loved ones. With the help of these accessories, people want to express what they may not have said before, to express their respect.

The use of mourning paraphernalia for funerals has come to us from the distant past.

Each ritual action has its own purpose.

What are they made from?

The tapes are made of durable material that is resistant to different weather conditions. After all, they must withstand rain, snow, sunlight and not lose their appearance in a short period of time, therefore, well-proven satin is used for their manufacture. Ribbons for wreaths are longer than for baskets, since the wreaths are larger in size.

Color and lettering

The color of the ribbon has its own meaning. The traditional color of mourning ribbon is black, which symbolizes sadness and loss. It is also acceptable to use red and white. A red ribbon denotes tragedy and pain, a white ribbon denotes the spiritual purity of the deceased (they are most often used at funerals of clergy).

At the mourning ceremony of the military, ribbons with national and state symbols are used.

People often ask the question of what can be written on mourning ribbons, and whether it is possible to write the names of loved ones from whom the wreath is. There are no specific rules for writing sayings. Everyone can subscribe at their own discretion according to the dictates of their hearts. There is a small unspoken rule: on the left side of the tape they write to whom the words are spoken, and on the right side - from whom.

The inscription can express any words of sympathy, conveying all the pain of loss.

Sayings can be unique, standard, or in the form of poetry. Usually they write the words: “I won’t forget”, “I remember”, “We mourn” and indicate from whom it is intended: “From colleagues”, “From friends”, “From brother”, “From relatives”. The church also does not prohibit indicating names (from whom) in the inscriptions on ribbons.

Carrying out the inscription

The inscription has its own location rules and usually does not exceed 10 words, because this amount fits well on the fabric. The place where the mourning ribbon will be attached remains without an inscription. The phrase is made using a plotter, then the letters are cut out and glued to the fabric - this is more modern method. Previously, the method of application with a brush and paints was used.
