There is an interesting ebay buyers guide to WWI and WWII German Death Prayer Remembrance Cards here:

Here is a snip from the guide referencing some of the (far) more expensive and desirable ones :

Especially interesting are when multiple family members appear on one card. I have seen 5 brothers on one WW2 card. That had to be especially tragic for the poor family. I have seen a father and a baby girl (father killed on Russian Front & baby killed at home in a bombing raid) on one card. I have seen father and son on a single card. I have seen a widow and late husband on a single card (she died 1950's & he died during the war). I have seen WW2 uniformed veterans pictured on cards from the 1960's.
