    We were overwhelmed by how much money was raised at dad's funeral collection. He had a triple heart bypass at 59 and was always grateful to the BHF.

  • In memory collection envelopes
    Our collection envelopes are a convenient way to collect donations at a funeral or memorial service. Each envelope has information about us, an option to donate by card or cheque and the opportunity to Gift Aid your donation if you're a UK tax payer. Family and friends can also include a message in memory which we will ensure reaches you.

    To order envelopes email us or phone 0844 847 2787.  Whilst we will always try to ensure your donation envelopes arrive before the day of the service, please give us as much notice as possible.

If you are a UK tax payer, please Gift Aid your donation, which will add 25p for every £1 you donate at no extra cost to you.

We always try to thank supporters as quickly as possible, but unfortunately we are currently experiencing delays in processing donations. Please accept our sincere apologies if you experience a delay, but rest assured we will thank you.
If you would like to check we have received your donations please contact us or call 0844 847 2787. Thank you for your patience and for your vital contributions, they are very much appreciated.

Your donation

Thank you for thinking of us at this time.

Once we've received your donation, we'll send you a letter of thanks. We'll also send a letter to the next of kin (if details are provided), which lists all of the donors and the total amount raised in memory of their loved one. Please be assured that individual gift amounts are not disclosed.

Celebration of Life

On Saturday the 3rd of December we held our third annual Celebration of Life event at St Marylebone Parish Church in London.

This was a chance to remember those we have lost and think about hope for the future. There was an amazing choir, moving speeches by Helen, a BHF supporter, and Dr Mike Knapton, one of our medical directors as well as a touching candle lighting moment too.
