Restrained online funeral card for a solemn service

When holding back says more than decoration

An online funeral card doesn’t need colour to say something. This one keeps to charcoal and white, and the only image is the portrait photo you add. The dark background gives the page gravity, and it is easier on the eyes when the news is read late in the evening. The text uses a sturdy classic letter, the name a plainer one, so the whole stays composed.

Recipients open the route to the crematorium or church and add the date to their calendar without searching for details. Anyone who wants to share a memory can write it in the condolence register, where the family finds all messages together. For something softer, look at our other online funeral cards.

Frequently asked questions

How soon can it be sent?

Half an hour. The design is finished, so the time goes into agreeing what the announcement should say.

What can recipients do?

They leave a message of condolence, open directions to the service and note the date. The messages arrive together, which the family can read at a moment of their own choosing.

Does a dark page print or forward well?

It is made to be read on a screen rather than printed, and it holds up when forwarded through messaging apps. On a phone in a dim room the pale text sits comfortably, which is when most people will open it.

Can it be lightened?

Colours, typefaces, the photograph and every line can be changed, so a light version is a few adjustments away. The portfolio also holds designs that start light.

What does it cost against printing?

No print run and no postage. A correction after sending costs nothing either, which is the part families notice in the days before a service.
