Funeral Collections
Donations instead of flowers
Thank you for thinking of our Hospice during this difficult time. When someone dies, there is so much to organise and it can feel overwhelming. Many families choose to ask for donations instead of funeral flowers to honour their loved one and support hospice care in Pontefract, the wider Five Towns.
Your gift in memory helps us care for local people when they need us most.
Ways to give
We can provide personalised donation boxes with your loved one’s name and photo.
These can be used at the funeral, church service, crematorium or wake so guests can easily give in memory.
If guests do not carry cash, we can also provide contactless card machines.
These are simple to use and make it easy for people to donate on the day.
You can also set up an online funeral tribute page. This page allows you to share the funeral details, receive messages and collect donations in memory online.
