A calm, clear obituary notice with the details family and friends need
An obituary template is a ready-made starting point for a death notice: the name, the dates, one short line about the person, and the service details. Here, a template opens with a prompt already written for a quiet design, and you change the name, the dates, the line, and the style before you generate.
Families and funeral directors make one for a newspaper, a funeral program, a memorial service, or a message to relatives. The design holds the name, the dates, one short line, and the service time and place. Write the full obituary text separately, and check the paper's own form first. Want a different style? Browse every card template.
How to make an obituary:
Step 01
Choose a card template
Browse card templates and pick the design closest to the occasion, from watercolor birthday cards to minimalist thank-you notes. Each template opens with a prompt already written for that design.
Step 02
Edit the prompt and generate
Change the message, name, colors, and illustration style in the prompt. Put the exact words you want on the card in quotation marks, and add the shape you need: 3:4 for a printed card, 1:1 for a text or WhatsApp message, or 9:16 for Instagram Stories. Hit "generate."
Step 03
Download your card
Download your card to print or send. To fix a single word or remove a stray detail first, open it in the AI image editor.

One notice for the printed program and the family message
A notice usually travels two ways: printed on cardstock and sent to relatives by message. Generate the same design at 3:4 for print and at 1:1 for a text or WhatsApp thread, so the name and dates sit where they read in each shape. Try "In loving memory of Eleanor Marsh, 1941 to 2026" in a quiet serif on soft gray.
The name, the dates, and one line, set in solemn lettering
On a notice the words carry everything: the full name, the dates, one short line, and the time and place of the service. Put each in quotation marks, ask for a plain serif, and check every spelling before you download. If one letter is wrong, correct it in the AI image editor rather than starting again.
From a printed notice to a tribute for the service
Print the notice on cardstock, and run the file through the image upscaler first if it looks soft at full size. For the service itself, the memorial video maker can turn photos into a tribute slideshow to play in the room or share with family.
FAQ
An obituary template is a fixed layout for a death notice: the name, the dates, a short line about the person, and the service details. To make one with VEED, open a template, edit the prompt that is already written, add a ratio such as 3:4, and generate. Re-prompt anything close but not right, then download.
A notice is accurate when a second person checks every name, date, and time before it is shared. In the prompt, put the exact words in quotation marks and keep the design to the name, the dates, and one short line. The full obituary text belongs in the program or the newspaper's own form. Fix a single wrong letter in the AI image editor.
Many notices include a photo beside the name and dates. The templates generate new designs, so for a photo of the person, open it in the AI image editor and describe a simple, respectful change, such as a plain background or a soft border. Keep the picture itself natural and recognizable.
A printed notice goes on cardstock, and the printer, the paper, or the funeral home sets the final size. For a 5 × 7 card, generate at 2:3 and trim about half an inch off the height. A 5 × 7 print at 300 DPI needs 1500 × 2100 pixels, so run a smaller file through the image upscaler first.
Most obituaries name the person, give the dates, and then say a little about their life, their family, and the service. Newspapers set their own format and length, so check with the paper or the funeral home first. On the design, keep to the name, the dates, one short line, and the service time and place.
AI image generation is credit-based, and the card maker works the same way. You can sign up without a credit card. The credit cost depends on how many images you generate, and the generate button shows it before you commit. See pricing for current plans, or start from a blank prompt in the AI image generator.

More than an obituary maker
An obituary notice is often one piece of something larger: a funeral program, a memorial service, a message to relatives who cannot travel. VEED is an AI video creation platform, so the same place can generate a quiet scene from a written prompt or a script in the AI video generator, add a voiceover, and refine the cut until the pacing holds, while the notice is re-prompted or corrected in the AI image editor. Keep the fonts and colors consistent so the notice and the video look like they came from the same hand, then export to share with family. For the service, that can be a tribute slideshow built in the memorial video maker, or a recorded eulogy for the relatives who cannot be in the room.
