Many families choose to remember their loved one with donations in lieu of flowers. This guide will explain how to arrange charity donations for the funeral.
HOW TO SELECT A CHARITY AND ASK FOR DONATIONS
There may be a specific charity that was important to the person who has sadly died, so make sure you take this into consideration when choosing where the money will be donated.
Funeral donations can be made in several ways. At Dignity, we can make all the necessary arrangements and send the money to your chosen charity following the funeral service.
FUNERAL DONATION BOX
You may opt for a funeral donation box, allowing guests to make donations at the end of the funeral service. This can be arranged and collected by your chosen Funeral Director. We will either give you the donations before the wake or send it to the charity of your choice four to six weeks after the funeral, allowing for further donations to be made.
At Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) we know that donating to the cause you care about benefits more than just the charities and those they support – it can be deeply rewarding for you too. CAF’s World Giving Index 2022 found that record numbers of people globally chose to give to charity in 2021, and more than 3 billion people reported having helped a stranger. Millions give to charity on a regular basis to support causes they believe in, as well as for the positive effect it has on their own lives.
