Funeral and Memorial Collection

Some people choose to hold a collection, or request donations in lieu of flowers at the funeral service of their loved one. These crucial funds ensure we are able to continue offering our vital care and support to the people in our local communities who need us.

If you wish to offer an alternative to a traditional cash collection, you may consider adding a QR code to the Order of Service or creating an online MuchLoved page where friends and family can view details of the service and make a donation if they wish. This page can be used not only for donations, but as a space for reflection and remembrance, where messages, memories and pictures can be shared.

You can create your page through MuchLoved or by completing the form below.

For information on how to pay in your collection, please contact our Fundraising team on 0131 551 1381, or email fund@stcolumbashospice.org.uk.

Support

We understand that after the loss of a loved one, there will be a lot to process as well as a number of practical tasks which require your attention. For further advice, please visit our Family support page.

Funeral Directors

If you are a Funeral Director organising a collection for a family, we can offer discreetly branded collection boxes and/ or Gift Aid envelopes to assist with cash collections. Alternatively, if the family wishes to offer a virtual collection, you may wish to offer to include a designated funeral collection page link on orders of service.

Please contact our Fundraising team to arrange this, or for any more information: 0131 551 1381, fund@stcolumbashospice.org.uk
