Giving in memory

Online tribute pages

You will get a unique link that you can share with friends and family for them to view and contribute to the page. An example can be found here.

Much Loved send the donations directly to us, so there’s nothing further for you to do. And if you have some people who would prefer to send a cheque directly to us, we can add this to the Much Loved donations and keep you updated on the total raised.

We can also support you with setting up the Much Loved page if you require this. Just email fundraising@willowfoundation.org.uk or phone 01707 259 777.

Funeral collections

Many funeral directors are able to collect donations on your behalf and send the money directly to us. Or, if you’d prefer to manage it yourself, or your funeral director does not offer this service, we have both donations boxes and envelopes that can be sent to you, or you can collect cheques.

You can send the money as it is, or collect it all together and make one payment. Please always include “Funeral collection in memory of…” and the name of the deceased.

You can send it by cheque made payable to “Willow” or using our online donation service, where there is also a place to write the reference. Please email fundraising@willowfoundation.org.uk or call 01707 259 777 pressing option 2 to request envelopes or boxes.

The Hope and Memories Willow Tree

Another way of remember a loved one is by dedicating a leaf on the Hope and Memories Willow Tree. Purple, Bronze, Silver and Gold leaves can be ordered by donating annually or on a rolling monthly basis and are also offered to tribute fund holders. For more details see the Hope and Memories Willow Tree page.

Cheques

Cheques should be made payable to “Willow” and sent to:

Willow, Gate House, Fretherne Road. Welwyn Garden City, AL8 6NS

Please ask everyone to write “In memory of…” and the name of the deceased on the back of the cheque or corresponding letter. This is so we can keep you updated on how much has been raised. If the donor would also like to be sent a thank you, please ask them to send their contact details with the cheque.

Online donations

Donations can be made online here. As with cheques, as long as the reference “In memory of…” and the name of the deceased is given when making the online donation, we’ll be able to thank the donor and keep you informed of hte total amount raised.

Additional Support

We know arranging a funeral can be an overwhelming time, so please don’t hesitate to give us a call if we can support you with any of the above. We are always here to help. Alternatively, there are some wonderful charities who can provide emotional support.
