Give in memory
The current Covid-19 pandemic may mean that it is difficult to say goodbye and commemorate a loved as you would wish.
If all family and friends are unable to attend a loved one’s funeral this can be extremely upsetting. However, there are still ways that friends and family can work together to remember and commemorate a loved one.
Set up an online Tribute Fund
By setting up an online Tribute Fund, you can share memories, pictures and stories about your loved one, as well as raise funds and receive donations that may otherwise have been collected at a funeral. These pages last forever and you can visit them at any time.
