Understated online funeral card for a wide circle

Reaching colleagues and neighbours at the same time

An online funeral card is an announcement that lives at a link, which means the circle it reaches is no longer limited by the addresses the family happens to have. Colleagues, neighbours and old friends all open the same page. This design was made plain on purpose, so that it sits well with all of them.

Dark grey type on pure white, one open sans serif from the name down to the last practical line, and nothing else. No border, no flourish and no background tint. The effect is quiet and current, and it avoids the two things a broad audience notices most: an old-fashioned card, or one that tries too hard.

One link goes to the family, the neighbours and the office, and anyone can pass it on. Recipients leave a message of condolence, open the route to the service and note the date, which spares the family a hundred separate questions about the time. If a warmer page suits this death better, our other online funeral cards range wider.

Frequently asked questions

How soon can we send it?

Half an hour, including the time it takes to agree on the wording. The layout itself asks nothing of you.

What can the recipients do?

They leave a message of condolence, open directions to the service and note the date. The messages arrive in one place, which is easier for the family than a hundred texts across four phones.

Is a design this plain suitable for a funeral?

Plainness is what makes it readable to everyone from a grandchild to a former colleague. The photograph at the top carries the personal weight, and the layout deliberately stays out of its way.

Can we change how it looks?

Colours, typefaces, the photograph and every line of text can be adjusted. The portfolio shows warmer and more traditional designs.

What does it cost against printed cards?

No print run and no postage, and no reprint if a detail turns out to be wrong. When an announcement goes to two hundred people, that last point counts for a lot.
