Tender online funeral card for close family

Softness on the page when words are hard

An online funeral card gathers the announcement, the practical details and a place for condolences into one page that travels as a link. Nobody has to be found by post. This design is the gentle end of the range, meant for a farewell where the circle is small and the grief is close.

A muted rose backs dark grey text set in one calm sans serif, and the corners of the card stay soft rather than sharp. Nothing about it is stark. It fits a mother, a sister or a young woman, and it works when the family wants the page to feel like a hand on the shoulder rather than a formal notice.

Send the link when the arrangements are settled, and let people forward it to whoever else should know. They leave a message of condolence, open the route to the service and note the date, and the family reads everything on one page. When a plainer announcement is needed, 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.
