Dharma wheel funeral card in burgundy

A calm Buddhist funeral card

More and more families choose an online funeral card: a death announcement on a page of its own that opens on any phone and keeps every detail of the farewell together. Without a printer or the post, it reaches everyone who needs to know in a short time. This design is meant for those saying goodbye within the Buddhist tradition.

The palette is small and calm: burgundy for the symbol, the name and the headings, dark brown for the text and off-white for the card itself, which rests on a soft grey, lightly dotted ground. The dharma wheel at the top sets the tone at once, and the line on impermanence below it puts that tone into words. Then come the name in large, clear letters, the dates and a personal text, all aligned to the left. No photograph, no decoration: the card leaves room for silence, as befits a ceremony with chanting.

Guests who plan to attend can open the location and route on their own phone, whether the ceremony is held at a crematorium, a temple or a meditation centre, and nobody needs to call the family for directions.

Frequently asked questions

Can the card be sent at short notice?

Yes. Buddhist ceremonies sometimes follow soon after a death, and then every day counts. Because the layout is ready, all attention goes to the content; many families share the card within an hour.

How do recipients respond to the card?

Through the condolence register on the page they leave a message the family can reread later in peace. The route to the ceremony and a calendar entry are included too, so no one has to ask for the details.

Does the design work without a photograph?

It works well. The dharma wheel and the verse take the place a portrait would otherwise fill, and the open space suits the restrained mood. Many Buddhist families prefer to show the photograph at the altar during the ceremony rather than on the card.

Can I list several generations of family?

Yes, the left alignment keeps even a long list of names clear. What else an online funeral card can contain, from dress notes to a time for condolences, is set out on that page.

Are there costs per recipient?

No. You can share the card with as many people as you like, with no paper or postage, which stays more economical than a printed run. The pricing overview shows what is included.
