A thoughtful way to share the news of a loved one’s passing.
Our Funeral Announcement Cards, also known as 'Death Announcement Cards' make it easy to let family and friends know . Choose from our elegant templates and personalise them with names, dates, service details, and any special requests — all designed to help you share important information with care and clarity.
While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there is a subtle difference between Death Announcement Cards and Funeral Announcement Cards.
Death Announcement Cards are typically used to inform friends and family that someone has passed away. These may be sent shortly after the death and can be used whether or not a funeral has been arranged.
Funeral Announcement Cards, on the other hand, usually include details of the upcoming funeral or memorial service—such as the date, time, and location—so that recipients can attend if they wish.
In many cases, one card can serve both purposes, announcing the death and providing funeral details at the same time. The choice of wording and content will depend on your preferences and circumstances.
Do I need Announcement Cards for a Funeral?
Letting friends and family know that a loved one has passed can feel overwhelming—especially when there are many people to contact and details to share.
A Funeral Announcement Card makes this task easier. With space for names, dates, service information, and any special requests (such as dress code, donations, or post-service gatherings), it ensures no important detail is missed.
Unlike a typical postcard, which often lacks space, our templates include an optional second side at no extra cost—giving you room to include everything with clarity and care.
Most importantly, these cards allow you to share all the key information in one place, giving peace of mind that nothing has been forgotten during a difficult time.
