Does my tribute fund need to be public?
No, it can be private, for just you or your family to view, where you can share your special thoughts and memories together. It is a great way to bring distant families together, uniting you at a difficult time. You can adjust your privacy settings whenever you want to.
Do I have to pay for a tribute fund?
No, this is a free in memory service offered by the Hospice. We believe that it is important to keep the memory of your loved one alive, and feel that everyone should have this opportunity to share their photos and messages in tribute.
Does my tribute fund have to raise a minimum amount?

There are many different ways to fundraise and when you set up your fund, we will sent you a pack via email which will give you some options. It is up to you if and how you decide to fundraise.
How long will my tribute fund be set up for?
You can keep your loved ones tribute fund open for as long as you want. If you would like to trial it privately first that is also possible each tribute can be tailor made according to how you would like to remember your loved one.
