Sage online funeral card with beach photo

A muted, earthy funeral card

A digital death announcement that people receive as a link and read on any screen is known as an online funeral card. It carries the same content as a printed card, name, dates, the words of the family and the details of the farewell, and remains available after the service for anyone who wants to reread it. This design lets one large photograph tell part of the story: a man on the beach, walking on at his own pace.

What you notice first is the image, set across the whole width of the card, with its soft sky, pale sea and long stretch of sand. Around it, the card keeps to muted olive and sage, on a grey-green background that is lighter still. Above the photo, a line of gratitude and the name in a strong slab serif in forest green, followed by two short lines with birthplace and date and place and date of death. Below the photo, the family text, the names of relatives and the arrangements for the service are centred in a straightforward sans serif. The mood is serene and unpretentious.

Families often send the card at once to relatives far away, former colleagues and friends from clubs or the neighbourhood. Those who want to attend can add the service to their calendar in one step, which keeps the date from getting lost among other messages.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to prepare this card?

Minutes rather than days. You edit the texts, upload a photograph if you want a different one, check the preview and send the link. Because nothing is printed, a correction after sending is still possible.

Can guests find the venue and leave a message?

Yes. The card includes a condolence register for personal messages, a route that opens in any maps app and a button to save the service in a calendar. Everything happens on the card itself, so nobody needs to ask the family twice.

Does a wide landscape photo work on a phone?

It does. The photograph scales to the width of the screen and stays in proportion, so the horizon and the walking figure remain recognisable even on a small display. The centred layout means the text above and below the image reads comfortably when scrolling.

What can be changed in this template?

All texts, the opening line, the headings, the photograph and the order of the sections. To compare with other options first, the portfolio brings together many more designs.

Are there costs per recipient?

No. There is no paper, no postage and no charge for each extra person who receives the link, so sharing widely costs nothing more. See the pricing page for what is included.
