Send a Sympathy Card Online
A gentle way to offer condolences -with your words, a photo, and shared memories. On your own, or as a card from everyone.
Make a Sympathy CardA sympathy card online lets you offer condolences with a personal message, a photo and shared memories, sent as a quiet link the family can open whenever they feel ready. It asks nothing of them and waits patiently until they're able to look.
When someone has died, the right words are hard to find -and a single line on a shop-bought card can feel too small. A digital sympathy card gives you room to write properly, to include a photograph or a memory, and, if you wish, to gather messages from many people into one card. It isn't a replacement for being there, but it is a sincere way to say: I'm thinking of you, and I remember them too.
What you can include
A photo of them
A photograph of the person who has died, or of a moment shared. Often more comforting than any words.
Shared memories
Space to write about who they were and what they meant -the small, specific things families hold onto.
A gentle message
Room for a proper message across as many pages as you need, rather than a single line on a card.
A card from everyone
Share a link so friends, family or colleagues each add a memory, and the family receives one card from all of you.
A quiet video message
If words on a page feel too small, a short spoken message can mean a great deal.
A lasting tribute
The card stays at its link, so the family can return to it whenever they wish, for as long as they wish.
Ways a digital sympathy card can help
A card from a group
Friends, family or colleagues can each add a memory or message, so the family receives one card carrying many voices.
When you can't be there
If you can't attend the service or live far away, a card with your words and a photo lets you be present in the way that matters.
Gathering memories for the family
Collecting memories from people who knew them -stories, photos, small moments -can be a real comfort in the weeks that follow.
When you're not sure what to send
A quiet, personal card asks nothing of the family and waits at its link until they feel able to open it.
How it works
Choose a gentle template
Calm, simple designs, all fully editable. The aim is warmth, not decoration.
Add your words and memories
Write your message, add a photo or a shared memory, and -if you'd like -invite others to contribute a page.
Share it gently
Send the link by message or email, whenever feels right. It opens in any browser, with nothing to download.
What to write in the card
Sincere and simple is almost always right. Acknowledge the loss, say something true about the person if you knew them, and offer specific help rather than "let me know if you need anything." For gentle message ideas -and a note on what's best left unsaid -read the full sympathy message guide.
The card is free to make, including text, backgrounds and a permanent link. If you'd like to add your own photos, a video message or music, there's a one-time A$3.99 for the card -no subscription.
Questions
Does the family need an account or app to view it?
No. They simply click the link and the card opens in their browser on any device. There's nothing to download and nothing to sign up for.
Can several people contribute to one card?
Yes. One person creates the card and shares an edit link; friends, family or colleagues each add their own page, message or photo, and the family receives a single card from everyone.
Is there a cost?
The card is free to make, with full text editing, backgrounds and a permanent link. If you'd like to add your own photos, a video message or music, there's a one-time A$3.99 for the card. There's no subscription.
Can the card be printed for the family?
Yes. You can download the finished card as a PDF, so the family can keep a printed copy alongside the link.
How long does the card stay available?
The card remains at the same link permanently, so the family can return to it whenever they wish, for as long as they wish.
