Pale funeral card with a painted lighthouse

A soft, maritime funeral card

A painted lighthouse and a lot of quiet space: that is what this online funeral card is built around. The pale greige border and the soft off-white card leave room for silence, and the watercolour brings depth into that calm, with a beam cutting through mauve and slate-grey clouds above still water. The lettering follows the painting. A classic, formal letter in deep aubergine carries the name, and small rosy capitals mark the headings.

Beside the announcement, the card gathers messages of sympathy in an online guestbook, where friends can write a few words even if they cannot attend. If the time of the farewell shifts, you update the card and the link stays the same, so nobody works from old details.

Frequently asked questions

Can the card be ready at short notice?

Yes. Everything but your own content is already in place, so filling in the texts, checking them and sharing the link is usually a matter of an afternoon. No printer or post office is involved.

What can people do besides reading the announcement?

They can offer condolences in the register, find the route to the service and store the date in their calendar. Because this card invites a reply, they can also confirm their attendance on the same page.

Does the watercolour dominate the text?

No. The painting sits at the top, fading into the paper at its edges, and the name below it is set large and dark enough to hold its own. The rest of the card is text only, so the image introduces the card rather than competing with it.

How far can I personalise the card?

Change any line, replace the lighthouse with another image or a portrait, and rename the headings to fit your arrangements. The portfolio shows further designs if you would like to compare before deciding.

Are there costs beyond the card itself?

No paper, no postage and no charge per recipient, so sharing widely costs nothing extra compared with a printed run. The pricing page explains what belongs to a card.
