Antim Sanskar card (अंतिम संस्कार सूचना कार्ड)
An Antim Sanskar notice is the fastest card a family makes. It goes out within hours, so it carries only what people need to be there: who has passed, when the Antim Yatra leaves, and where the cremation will be.

Designs that suit a antim sanskar card
The five lines it needs
- The name, with स्वर्गीय or the prefix your family uses
- Date of passing
- Where the Antim Yatra begins, and at what time
- Name of the shamshan ghat or cremation ground
- One mobile number that will be answered
Keep it short, then follow with a second card
Rituals such as Terahvi or Uthala are often not fixed on day one. Send the Antim Sanskar notice now and make a separate Terahvi or prayer-meeting card once the pandit has confirmed the dates. That way a forwarded card never carries a date that later changes.
Choosing a design
For a notice that is read in a hurry, a plain white or cream design with a small photo is clearest. Save the saffron and marigold designs for the invitation that follows.
