Lilac funeral card with olive branches

A calm, delicate funeral card

A death announcement that lives on a web page rather than on paper is known as an online funeral card. It is shared in one message, read on any screen and remains available for anyone who wants to look up the time or the address again. This version wraps that page in lilac and olive branches, calm enough for a formal farewell and soft enough to feel personal.

Three shades set the mood: a pale grey ground with a light scattering of olive sprigs, a lilac card on top of it, and deep plum lettering throughout. The heading line is small and set in italics, almost a whisper, so the name below it, in a stately serif, is the first thing the eye rests on. The rest of the text uses a plain sans serif that stays legible on a small phone screen, with bold headings for the funeral, condolences, flowers and the online message. Everything is centred, which gives the card a composed, symmetrical calm.

Once the arrangements are known, the link can go out through any channel the family already uses. Relatives and friends who plan to come can add the service to their calendar directly from the card, so the date is not lost among other messages in the days before the funeral.

Frequently asked questions

Can the card be ready at short notice?

Yes. The design is complete, so only your own words and details need to go in. From the first edit to a shareable link is a matter of minutes, and no printer or post office is involved.

What do guests find on the card besides the announcement?

A condolence register for personal messages, a route button that opens their maps app, a button to save the service in their calendar and the option to let the family know they will come. It gives people something to do with their sympathy.

What does the olive pattern add to this design?

A quiet layer of meaning. The olive branch has long stood for peace and reconciliation, which suits a card for someone who died peacefully. Because the sprigs only appear on the background, they frame the card without distracting from the text.

Can I keep the colours but change the layout?

Colours, texts and sections can all be adjusted, and a photo can be added above the name if you prefer. If you would like to compare other funeral designs first, see the funeral cards in the portfolio.

Are there costs per recipient?

No. You can share the link with as many people as the family wishes, which makes it more economical than printing and posting cards. The pricing page sets out what a card includes.
