This custom was widespread throughout Catholic Europe and is still today practiced in some areas. In a broader sense, death cards are also death notices that were once distributed in a town or sent by post. Their purpose, as is similar today, is not only to inform the family, friends, acquaintances, and the public in general about the passing of a particular person, but also to ask for remembrance of the deceased in pray.
