Many families choose to collect charitable donations in memory of their loved one. Some request donations instead of flowers as a way to reduce environmental impact, while others welcome both donations and floral tributes. You can nominate up to three registered charities. We’ll handle all the administrative work, so you don’t need to worry about the details during an already difficult time. We can help facilitate donations in several ways.
Online Donations
We can set up a dedicated online memorial page on our website, which includes: service details that can be shared with family and friends; a donation page linked directly to your chosen charity; and the option for people to leave messages and share photos. This service is provided free of charge and makes it easy for people to donate quickly from anywhere. The online total is kept separate from any cash or cheque donations we collect.
Donations Box
We provide a donations box for cash or cheque donations at the service. This can be used instead of, or in addition to, the online option.
- Cheques should be made payable directly to the charity
- Donations can be handed to us on the day or posted to our office
- We keep a record of all donor names for your information
- We forward the total amount to the charity on your behalf
If you’re collecting for multiple charities, these will be divided according to your instructions.
Setting Up Donations
Just let your funeral arranger know during the arrangements if you’d like to collect donations. We’ll discuss:
- Which charity or charities you’d like to support
- Whether you’d prefer online donations, a donations box, or both
- Any specific wording you’d like on the memorial page
- How you’d like us to share the donor information with you
