Learn MoreA Tribute Fund is a wonderful way of reflecting on the happy times you shared, and inviting family and friends to join in with their own precious memories too. You can create a Tribute Fund before your loved one’s funeral, provide a link to it in the Order of Service and send it to those unable to attend in person. If you choose to set up the page later, we’ll help you add funeral gifts to it if you wish. As the years pass, you can use your loved one’s page to remember them on special family occasions, anniversaries or birthdays. You can add more photos, thoughts and music, and of course donate in their memory, whenever you wish. When the time is right, you or your family might like to raise funds to keep the tribute growing. If any of you decide to take on a personal or sporting challenge, for example, an existing JustGiving page can be linked to your tribute. A page is yours to use however feels right for you and your family, and for however long you wish, to honour the life of the person you loved. Create a Tribute Fund in memory of a loved one.
