About Us

We started Smartass Support Cards to offer an authentic alternative for those navigating grief, loss, or life's tough challenges.

After losing close family members, I (Shawn) found the most healing messages weren’t traditional condolence cards—they were irreverent, unexpected laughs from friends. We created this brand to offer an alternative: a reason to smile when it’s needed most.

Humorous sympathy or loss cards are rare in the industry because they’re incredibly difficult to write with the right balance of empathy and comedy.

We believe our business fills a vital niche that’s both necessary and uplifting. Over the years, we’ve been sending these kinds of cards to our friends and family. We thought, why not share it with the rest of the world.
