Frequently asked questions

How do you word a request for donations instead of flowers?
Keep it gentle, clear and free of any sense of obligation. A simple, widely-used form is: 'In memory of [name], the family would be grateful for donations to [charity] in lieu of flowers,' followed by how to give (a collection on the day, a JustGiving-style page, or details from the funeral director). Choosing a charity that meant something to the person, or that reflects their illness or interests, makes it especially meaningful. It's perfectly fine to welcome both flowers and donations — just say so. There is no wrong choice here. Grief is hard, and support is there if you need it: Cruse Bereavement Support runs a free helpline on 0808 808 1677, and you can speak to your GP. If you're struggling to cope, the Samaritans are available any time on 116 123.
