Condolence cards
Condolence cards
The loss of a loved one always brings immense grief, incomprehension and intense emotions for the relatives. Although there seem to be no words that can truly provide comfort, you can still express your sympathy and compassion and comfort the relatives with a sensitive condolence card. It is a beautiful, loving gesture to communicate and let the family of the deceased know that you are there for them. In such moments, mourning and condolence cards can be a valuable support.
Our range includes condolence cards for adults, star children and children. Many of the mourning cards can be personalized with the name of the deceased. With a loving, personalized card, you can express your sympathy much better than a standard card from the supermarket ever could.
Why are deceased children called star children?
The term "star child" is used when a child died before birth. This poetic term reflects the idea that these small children went back to heaven before they could see the light of day. In common parlance, people also speak of star children when children die at a very young age.
"While other children learn to walk, ours learns to fly with the angels."
Mourning stationery for star children
The worst thing that can happen to parents is the loss of a child or baby. For the parents affected, it is irrelevant whether the baby dies in the first weeks of pregnancy or after birth. They have to deal with the immeasurable pain of letting their beloved child go before they even had the chance to get to know it properly. The endless grief is hard to imagine and the funeral of a star child is particularly painful. In this difficult moment, it is important that the parents are surrounded by loved ones who give them support and are there for them.
At Funkenbunt, we therefore place particular emphasis on mourning stationery for star children, babies and children. Our sensitive, loving motifs provide comfort and express your sympathy and concern without many words.

Some souls come to this earth only for a short time, but they leave traces in our hearts that remain forever.
Sometimes an angel stays with us for just a short time, touches our hearts and then quietly disappears back into heaven.
A star shines brightest when it is dark.
Some angels only exist in heaven, they have never touched the ground. Yet they leave traces in our hearts that remain forever.
As your little heart stopped beating, a star began to shine brightly.
