Rose funeral card with monochrome portrait

A gentle, stylish funeral card

A death announcement that lives on a web page instead of on paper is an online funeral card: shared in one message, readable on any screen and still there for anyone who wants to check the time or place again. This one borrows the dignity of a formal printed card and keeps its warmth.

Its palette is small and harmonious: a pale rose card, a deeper rose background, burgundy and dark reddish brown for the lettering. The portrait, in black and white and with rounded corners, takes the left half of the upper part; the right half holds an italic opening line, the name in an elegant flowing script across two lines and the dates written out in words. Beneath, all practical details are centred in a classic serif, each section introduced by a burgundy heading.

The card suits a cremation or burial with a moment to offer condolences before the service. Guests can open the route to the location straight from the card, which is especially welcome for older relatives travelling from further away.

Frequently asked questions

Can the card be ready at short notice?

Yes. The layout is finished, so only your own words and a portrait are needed. From the first change to a shareable link usually takes an afternoon, without waiting for a printer.

How do people show their sympathy through the card?

In the condolence register below the announcement, where messages remain readable for the family. The card also offers the route and a way to save the date, so recipients arrive on time and well informed.

Why is the name set over two lines?

Splitting the name gives both first name and surname their own weight and lets the flowing script breathe beside the portrait. It also balances the column next to the photograph, so text and image appear equally tall and the upper half feels composed.

What may be changed in this template?

The portrait, the name, the dates, each text block and the colours, and sections can be added or removed below the family names. Other designs, in other colours and styles, are shown in the portfolio.

Are there costs per recipient?

No. The card can be shared as widely as the family wishes, without extra copies, envelopes or stamps. What a card includes is set out on the pricing page.
