Support after bereavement
Saying goodbye to a loved one is hard. There’s no right or wrong way to feel. We offer coping strategies and contacts for more support.
Funeral and memorial collections
Collecting donations at a funeral or memorial service is a wonderful way to remember someone and continue their legacy. We can help you to collect donations in person and online.
How a funeral collection works
You can follow these steps to organise a successful funeral or memorial collection.
STEP 1
Choose how you want to collect donations
You can set up an online tribute page to collect donations in memory. Or you can collect money in-person at the service. You can discuss this with your Funeral Director.
STEP 2
Share your collection with friends and family
It's important to tell people about your collection. You can share your tribute page on social media, hand out money envelopes or install a collection box at the service.
STEP 3
Donate what you have collected in memory
We'll receive donations from BHF tribute pages automatically. If you want to donate money collected in-person, simply make a one-off donation to us in memory.
What your support means
Here are just a few of the ways your donations could help to save and improve lives:
-
70% of every £1 donated funds lifesaving research.
-
£1 billion will be spent on research in the next 10 years.
-
£133 million was invested in our lifesaving work last year.
