What Is the Purpose of a Funeral Card?
It serves the same purpose as an invitation card wherein it announces what particular event will take place, along with other details such as when it's going to happen and whom it's being held for. This specific type of card is meant to point out everything regarding a funeral that will be held. Those who receive it can use the card as a guide for the funeral program, ensuring that those who wish to participate are able to properly do so.
How to Make a Funeral Card in Adobe Photoshop
1. Provide a Picture of the Deceased
The majority of funeral cards have pictures of the person that has recently departed. When choosing the one you want to use, it has to present the deceased in an appropriate and respectable manner. As for the quality, you need to go with one that has a high resolution as you do not want it to look pixelated.
2. Think on the Card's Design
Aside from implementing a picture, you'll want to think of other ways to make the card look attractive. When it comes to funeral cards, their design is usually simple or minimalistic. The majority usually have bright background colors but how you go about it is entirely up to you. If you want a good idea of how you should go about in the design, then you can always look for samples of funeral cards online. You can also use card templates that already have premade designs if you want to make it even easier on yourself.
3. Place Information About Him/Her
Start by having the deceased's name at the front of the card. Make sure to include his/her first name, last name, and middle name or initial when writing it down. You may then provide the year in which he/she was born and the year of passing; you can be more specific by also providing the month and day for both if you feel that it's necessary. In the card's body, you can provide a short paragraph that describes the deceased's accomplishments.
4. Put in Details of the Funeral Service
Start by pointing out the venue. Is it going to be at a church or will it be held in another establishment that's appropriate for funeral services? Where exactly is it located? What time exactly does the service start? When are flowers and prayers going to be offered? How does one get in contact with the organizer of the service? These are the types of questions that your card will need to answer. So basically, you just need to make sure that the card covers everything that participants of the service will want to know about.
5. Utilize Adobe Photoshop

It has many tools and options available to help you enhance photos and remove flaws, guaranteeing that whatever card you make will look absolutely stunning.
