When the family organises everything themselves
An online funeral card puts the announcement, the times and a guestbook on one page, reachable by anyone who has the link. There is no printer and no deadline in the middle of it. Families who are arranging a farewell without a funeral director tend to want exactly that kind of directness.
A heading in an open sans serif sits above body text in a warmer serif, dark grey throughout on a very light ground. The two typefaces do two different jobs: the name announces, the rest explains. It suits a farewell in a hired room, a woodland burial or a service the family put together themselves.
Put the link out as soon as you have a date, and fill in the rest as the arrangements firm up. Recipients leave a message of condolence, open the route to the location and note the time, and everyone who opens the page later sees the current version. If something more traditional is wanted, our other online funeral cards include it.

Frequently asked questions
Can we send it before everything is arranged?
Yes, and most families do. The name, the dates and whatever is known go out first, and the page is completed afterwards without a new link.
What can recipients do?
They leave a message of condolence, open directions to the location and note the time. The family reads the messages in one place, which is easier than collecting them from three phones.
Why two typefaces on one card?
The name is set in an open sans serif so it reads at a glance, and the explanatory text is in a serif that stays comfortable over several lines. It is a small distinction, but it is what keeps a page of practical detail from feeling like a form.
Can it be changed?
Colours, typefaces, the photograph and all wording are adjustable. Browse the portfolio for a different starting point.
Is it cheaper than printing?
There is no print run and no postage. What matters more is that a change of time or place costs nothing, which is common when a family is arranging things without help.
