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. We can help facilitate donations in several ways.
Online Donations
We can set up a dedicated online memorial page through Funeral Guide, which includes:
- Service details that can be shared with family and friends
- Photo tributes
- A JustGiving donation page linked directly to your chosen charity
- The ability for people to leave messages and condolences
This service is provided free of charge and makes it easy for people to donate quickly from anywhere. The online total is kept entirely separate from any cash or cheque donations we collect.

We can process online donations for up to three charities.
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.
How It Works
- 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, we can provide separate boxes or a single box with the donations divided according to your instructions.
Choosing Your Charity
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.
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
