Ivory funeral card with watercolour lilies

A floral, restrained funeral card

A digital announcement of a death, shared as a link and readable on any screen, is what we call an online funeral card. It replaces the printed card without losing its content: name, dates, the words of the family and the details of the farewell are all there, and the page remains available long after the service. This version pairs that practical form with a traditional flower of mourning.

What catches the eye first is the watercolour bouquet of white lilies on the right, painted with soft edges and sage-green leaves that seem to fade into the ivory card. The card itself rests on a calm grey-green background. On the left, the name is set in a stately serif in deep teal, with the dates small and grey beneath it and a short line in small capitals above. The remaining text uses a friendly, well-rounded sans serif, and the subheadings pick up the teal of the name, which ties the whole card together in a single, peaceful tone.

Families often send the card to relatives abroad, former colleagues and neighbours at the same moment, so that everyone learns the news first-hand. Those who want to attend can add the service to their calendar in one step, which keeps the date from getting lost among other messages.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to prepare this card?

Minutes rather than days. You change the texts in the editor, preview the result and send the link. Because nothing is printed, a mistake discovered later can still be corrected after the card has gone out.

Can guests find the venue and leave a message?

Yes. The card includes a condolence register for personal messages, a route that opens in any maps app and a button to save the service in a calendar. All of this happens on the card itself, so nobody has to ask the family twice.

Does the design suit an older person as well as a younger one?

The formal typography and the classic lilies make it especially fitting for someone who lived a long and caring life, but the calm colours keep it from feeling old-fashioned. The opening line can be rewritten to match the person you are remembering.

What can be changed in this template?

All texts, the opening line, the headings of each section and the order of the information. If you would like to compare it with other options first, the portfolio brings together many more designs.

Are there costs per recipient?

No. There is no paper, no postage and no charge for each extra person who receives the link, so sharing it widely costs nothing more than sharing it with a few. The pricing page shows what is included before you begin.
