Donations

Should you prefer family flowers only, more and more people are opting for charitable donations in memory of their loved ones in lieu of flowers.

We will set up a charitable account for any donations received, hold this for several weeks and then inform you of the raised amount. We will write to both you and ask the charity to confirm the amount received.

We will also set up a MuchLoved account for you which can inform people of both the funeral service arrangements as well as donations which can be made through the website allowing more flexibility for those who wish to donate by card/online or after the service has taken place. The amounts received are viewable at all times by you with the link through our website or the MuchLoved page.
