Online funeral card with wide polder sky

A natural, Dutch funeral card

What is an online funeral card? It is a digital version of the traditional death notice: one link that shares the news, the date and place of the farewell and the family’s wishes with everyone at once. It can be read on a phone, a tablet or a computer and stays available until after the funeral. This version pairs that practical role with a view of open, quiet land.

A photograph of a Dutch-style polder fills the top of the card: a big sky with long bands of cloud, a still ditch reflecting the light and a single broad tree on the right. Under the image the card turns a soft ivory, framed by sand-coloured edges. An italic line of gratitude leads to the name in a strong slab serif in dark brown, followed by the dates in a light grey. The service, the condolences and the online stream each have a small ochre heading in capitals, which gives the long text a clear rhythm. It suits a family that wants a card that feels warm and natural rather than formal.

Share the link through messaging apps, email or social media once the plans are fixed. People who cannot attend can still leave a message in the online guestbook and read what others have written, so the card becomes a small place of remembrance in its own right.

Frequently asked questions

Can this card go out on the same day?

Yes. You fill in the details, check the text and send the link immediately. Nothing needs to be printed or delivered, which helps when the funeral is only a few days away.

What can people do once they open the card?

They can express their sympathy in the condolence register, look up the route to the crematorium or church and add the ceremony to their calendar. If the service is streamed, the card can also mention where to follow it.

Why are the headings in capitals and a golden brown?

Because the card contains several separate pieces of information. Small capitals in a warm tone mark each part without shouting, so readers find the time of the service or the condolence hour at a glance while the photo and the name remain the focus.

Can I replace the landscape with a portrait?

Of course. The image slot takes any photograph, and texts, headings and dates are all editable. For other starting points, the portfolio shows a wide range of designs.

Is sending the card expensive?

No. It is more affordable than printed cards and postage, with no extra costs per recipient. The pricing page lists what is included.
