Funeral card with sunflower and golden stars

A bright, hopeful funeral card

A web page that announces a death and shares the details of the farewell is what we call an online funeral card: sent in one message, read on any device and available for anyone who wants to look up the time or place again. It carries everything a printed card would, without the wait. This design brings warmth to that page with a single sunflower and a scattering of golden light.

The card itself is a quiet, almost white surface on a warm greige background, with small golden stars drifting down the edges. On the right, a watercolour sunflower rises on a slender green stem, its petals glowing yellow. The name appears on the left in an informal handwritten script, large and personal, with the years of life in small grey figures beneath it. A short, gentle opening line sits above the name. Below, the family text and the arrangements follow in a friendly sans serif, each section introduced by a heading in muted olive brown.

Next to the announcement, recipients find the online guestbook where they can leave a memory or a word of support. For parents and siblings, those messages from friends are often something to reread long after the service.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to prepare this card?

A few minutes. You type the texts into the editor, look at the preview and copy the link. Because nothing is printed, a correction after sending is still possible, for example when the venue or the time of the farewell changes.

Can guests find the venue and leave a message?

Yes. The card combines a condolence register, a route that opens in any maps app and a button that adds the service to a calendar. People do not need to contact the family for practical details.

Does the handwritten name suit a formal announcement?

It does. The handwriting gives the card a personal, youthful touch, while the calm layout, the pale card and the clear body text keep the announcement dignified. For someone who died young, that balance often feels right.

What can I change in this template?

All texts, the opening line, the headings and the order of the sections, including a block about flowers or a donation to a cause. What else an online funeral card can do is explained on that page.

Are there costs for each recipient?

No. There is no paper, no postage and no charge per person, so sharing the card widely costs nothing extra. See the pricing overview for what is included.
