Black Paper Flowers and a Cross for a Religious Funeral
Layered black and grey paper style flowers and leaves frame the top and bottom of this card, set on a pale grey watercolour background. Thin grey lines form a tall oval in the centre. A black cross with curling scroll ornaments sits at the top of the oval, above placeholder dates and an arched black and white photo of an older man. The name, David Collins in the sample, runs in a black script, followed by a row with MONDAY, APR 27 and 00:00 PM, and an address.
A Monochrome Card for Formal Services
The card is 5 x 7 inches, portrait, a standard size for funeral cards and invitations. The black, grey and white palette feels solemn and formal, which suits church funerals and traditional services.
Dates, Service Row and Address
The dates are XX placeholders, and the service row shows Monday, Apr 27 at 00:00 PM. Type the real day, date and time, and check that the weekday matches the date in your year. Replace the address with the church or chapel where the service will be held.
Preparing the Religious Funeral Card
- Add the photo.
- Type the name and dates.
- Set the service day and time.
- Type the church address.
- Print on matte card.
A Cross for Christian Services
The ornate cross makes the card suitable for Christian funerals, requiem masses and church memorial services. For other faiths, replace the cross with a symbol that is meaningful to the family, or remove it for a secular service.
Adding a Verse or Prayer
There is space between the dates and the photo for a short scripture verse or prayer line. Choose one the person loved, or ask the officiant for a suggestion that suits the service.
Printing Black Paper Flowers
The paper flowers have soft shading that prints well on matte card at high quality. Avoid glossy paper, which can make the black areas look streaky.
Using the Card as an Order of Service Cover
The design also works as the cover of a folded order of service. Print it on the front of a folded 5 x 7 card and add hymns and readings inside.
Checking Names and Dates With the Family
Names and dates on funeral cards matter a great deal. Ask a close relative to proofread the card before it is printed.
Keepsakes for Mourners
Many mourners keep funeral cards in a Bible or prayer book. A clear photo and a short verse make the card a lasting keepsake.
Using the Religious Funeral Card
Print enough copies for everyone expected at the service.
