Ice-blue funeral card with hand-lettered name

A soft, airy funeral card

A farewell announcement that lives on a web page rather than on card stock is an online funeral card: it is shared in one message, it opens on any screen, and it remains available for anyone who wants to check the details again. Here that page is as airy as it can be without becoming thin.

The palette is almost nothing: a whisper of ice blue in a near-white ground, a deep plum for the name, a greyish mauve for the italic opening line and soft mauve for the section headings. What gives the card its warmth is the name in narrow hand-lettered capitals and the wide photograph beneath it, which stretches nearly edge to edge and lets a landscape breathe. Tiny outlined leaves float along the sides, and the text, set in a plain, friendly sans serif, is centred throughout.

Send the link as soon as the time and place of the farewell are known; a card like this can also be placed on social media or forwarded in a family chat. Everyone who wants to attend can add the farewell to their calendar with one tap, which quietly keeps the date from slipping away.

Frequently asked questions

Can the card be ready at short notice?

Yes. You fill in the texts and upload a photograph, and the link can be shared the same afternoon. That matters especially after a sudden death, when there is little time between the news and the service.

How do people show their sympathy through the card?

In the condolence register attached to the card, where messages remain readable for the family. Recipients can also open the route to the farewell and save the date, so they arrive on time without having to call anyone.

Which photographs work best in the wide frame?

Landscape pictures taken outside, with space around the person, suit this design best: a field, a shoreline or a garden. Because the page itself is so pale, the colours of the photograph become the colour of the whole card.

What can I change in this template?

All texts, the photograph, the colours and the pattern can be adjusted, and you can add or remove sections below the family names. More ideas for a farewell card can be found among the funeral designs in the portfolio.

Are there costs per recipient?

No. The card can be shared as widely as you like without paying for extra copies, stamps or envelopes, which keeps it well below the cost of print. The pricing page shows what a card includes.
