A warm Irish landscape at golden hour with a family walking together, representing remembrance and in-memory giving

What's included

Built for tributes, not generic fundraising

Bereavement fundraising deserves more than a standard donation page. Every part of the experience — the wording, the imagery, the moderation — is designed for families remembering someone they love.

And for your charity, each tribute becomes a gentle introduction to a whole circle of new supporters.

Ways to remember and give

The core tribute experience supporters can create in minutes.

In Memory tribute pages

Supporters create a beautiful, lasting page for someone they loved in just a few minutes — with a photo, their story and a fundraising goal.

In Honour & celebration pages

Birthdays, recoveries, retirements and milestones. In lieu of gifts, friends and family give to your cause instead.

Light a candle

A gentle, low-barrier act of remembrance that introduces new supporters to your charity — and a natural moment to invite a donation.

Wall of Messages

A shared public wall of tributes and messages across the site, showing every visitor a living community of remembrance.

Tribute Book

Every page collects messages, photos and donations into a downloadable keepsake book the family can print and keep.

E-cards

Donors can send a personalised in-memory, in-honour or celebration e-card with their gift — a thoughtful alternative to flowers.

A page that feels like yours

Storytelling, branding and safeguards built around sensitive giving.

Photos & storytelling

Rich hero imagery, life stories and galleries make each page feel personal rather than transactional.

Built to be shared

Clean, shareable links with social previews for every page, so tributes travel naturally through families and friends.

Your brand, end to end

Your logo, colours, tone of voice and domain — the whole experience feels like part of your own website.

Recent pages & momentum

Recently created pages, candle counts and totals raised give visitors social proof and encourage them to start their own.

Respectful by design

Sensitive copy, moderated messages and privacy-minded defaults — built specifically for bereavement fundraising.

Pet tributes

Optional pet memorial and pet celebration pages for animal charities and supporters honouring a much-loved companion.

How it works

Three simple steps from a supporter's first tribute to a lasting relationship.

1

Supporter creates a page

They choose In Memory or In Honour, add a name, a photo and a few words.

2

Friends give, light candles & leave messages

Every interaction is a gentle invitation to support your cause.

3

You gain lifelong supporters

New donors, new stories and a keepsake the family will return to for years.

How is this different from a normal fundraising page?

In-memory giving is built around remembrance, not targets. Candles, message walls, e-cards and keepsake tribute books give families a place to gather — the donation follows naturally.

Can we brand it as our own?

Yes. Your logo, colours, tone of voice and your own domain, so supporters never feel they've left your website.

Are messages moderated?

Yes. Moderation and privacy-minded defaults are built in, so sensitive content can be reviewed before it appears publicly.

What is the Tribute Book?

Every page collects its messages, photos and donations into a downloadable keepsake book the family can print and keep.

Do you support pet tributes?

Optional pet memorial and pet celebration pages are available for animal charities and supporters honouring a companion.
