Send a charcoal funeral card with portrait

A deep, heartfelt funeral notice

An online funeral card is a single page that announces a death and invites people to the farewell, shared through a link instead of the mail. This design is deep and heartfelt: a charcoal card, a name in flowing ivory script, a wide autumn portrait in the middle and a warm text below. The amber of the headings echoes the golden trees behind her, so the dark card never feels cold.

Picture the many people who will open it: her children and grandchildren, her sisters and brothers, neighbours who knew her for years. They see her face, read in a few lines what she meant to them and can add the date to their calendar with a tap. Afterwards they leave a message for the family, even when they cannot attend in person.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this card today?

Yes. Choose a photo, enter the name, the dates and the farewell details, read everything through on your phone and share the link. Later changes are made on the same link.

Can relatives abroad respond?

Yes. The condolence register is open to everyone with the link, wherever they live. All messages arrive in one overview.

What makes this design suitable for a large family?

The clear order, with name, photo, story and details, helps many people find what they need at a glance. The larger type on the dark card stays readable for every generation.

How do I make sure everyone receives it?

Share the link in family group chats and by email, and remind people who have not opened it. A QR code on a printed note helps too.

Which photo works best in this design?

A recent portrait in which the person looks natural, preferably taken in daylight and sharp enough to show the face clearly. Choose a photo that family members recognise immediately; that matters more than perfect quality.
