The making of Death Cards was a common practice, particularly for catholics in Germany during the 19th and 20th century. When a person died the family would commission these cards to let family and friends know of the death.

In Apocalypse Now members of the American Air Cav are shown putting "death cards" on the bodies of people they had killed because "it lets Charlie know who did this".
