Donations in lieu of flowers

Over the years people have told us that they would rather have donations made to the Trust than flowers at their funeral. It does not mean that there will not be any flowers at the funeral, just that floral tributes are limited to immediate family and others are invited to make a donation to the Trust.

All donations that the Trust receives are recorded to the memory of your loved one and are acknowledged with a personal thank you letter. If the person organising the funeral contacts Marcia McKnight, Head of Communications, on 020 8375 2578 or marcia.mcknight@nhs.net we can arrange for a card to be on display at the church, crematorium or place or worship.
