Remembering a loved one by helping others
When someone we love dies, flowers are often sent as a beautiful way to express sympathy and pay tribute. While flowers bring comfort and create a beautiful setting for a funeral or memorial service, they are, sadly, temporary and will eventually be taken away and disposed of.
Many families now choose to ask friends and relatives to donate to a charity close to their hearts instead of, or alongside, sending flowers.
A funeral donation is a simple but incredibly meaningful way to remember someone. It creates a lasting legacy from a moment of loss, helping a charity continue its work and making a difference to the lives of others.
Choose donations in memory of your loved one
If you would like to ask for donations to the John King Brain Tumour Foundation in memory of your loved one, we can help make the process as simple as possible.
You can let family and friends know that, rather than sending additional flowers, you would be grateful if they would consider donating to the Foundation. Donations can be made in memory of your loved one, ensuring that their name and the reason for the donation are remembered.
Every donation, whatever its size, can make a difference.
Why choose donations instead of flowers?
Flowers are a traditional and thoughtful gesture, but a charitable donation can have an impact long after the funeral has taken place.
A donation can:
- Create a lasting tribute to someone you love.
- Help support a cause that was meaningful to them and your family.
- Turn a time of sadness into something positive for others.
- Help fund vital projects, equipment and support that can improve people’s lives.
- Give family and friends a meaningful way to honour and remember someone.
- Create a legacy that continues long after the funeral.
For families who have been affected by a brain tumour, choosing the John King Brain Tumour Foundation can be a particularly meaningful way to remember someone.
Your donation can help make a difference
The John King Brain Tumour Foundation supports the Neurosurgery team and patients and families at St George’s Hospital. Funds raised help provide vital equipment, support improvements to the hospital environment and create spaces where patients and their families can find comfort during an incredibly difficult time.
From helping to provide state-of-the-art neurosurgical equipment to creating gardens and spaces for patients and families, every donation contributes towards making a difference.
A donation made in memory of someone special can therefore become part of something lasting – helping other patients and families at a time when they need it most.
