Tender online funeral card for close family

Softness on the page when words are hard

This online funeral card is tender rather than formal, meant for a farewell among close family. A wide portrait fills the top, here of a woman mid-laugh, so the first thing people see is the person as she lived. The background is a very pale pink, warm without being sweet. The name follows in a graceful, classic letter, with the rest centred beneath it in calm, simple lines. There is room for a verse or a short prayer too.

Relatives and friends leave their messages in the online condolence register, where the family can read them together. Guests also find the route and can save the date and time with one tap. Looking for something plainer? Our other online funeral cards are more restrained.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to prepare?

Half an hour is plenty. The layout is finished, so the time goes into choosing the words and the photograph.

What can the people who receive it do?

They leave a message in the online guestbook, open directions to the service and note the date. The family reads those messages together, later, when there is room to.

Does the soft colouring undercut the seriousness?

The background is muted rather than bright, and the text is dark enough to hold its weight. The card reads as gentle, not as cheerful, which is a distinction the palette was chosen to keep.

Can the design be adjusted?

Colours, typefaces, the photograph and every line of text can be changed. The portfolio holds soberer designs if this is too soft.

Is it less expensive than printing?

There is no print run and no postage. It also means a correction after sending costs nothing, which printed cards can never offer.
