Funeral collections in lieu of flowers
Many families choose to support Hospice by requesting donations at a funeral or memorial service instead of floral tributes. It is a meaningful way for friends and family to honour a loved one while making a direct impact on the care we provide here on the Island.
If you are arranging a funeral and would like friends and family to donate to Hospice Isle of Man instead of a floral tribute, we can help in the following ways.
Contact us at fundraising@hospice.org.im or call 01624 672222 for support with donations in memory of your loved one.
Collection Boxes or Donation Envelopes
If you would like to collect cash donations at the funeral or wake, we can provide you with Hospice branded collection boxes or donation envelopes.
Card Machines & QR Codes
In a cashless world, we can loan you card devices for your event or provide unique QR codes so your supporters can give instantly via their smartphones.
Online Fundraising Platforms
We recommend using JustGiving or Enthuse to reach friends and family further afield. These platforms provide a secure way to process donations and track your progress in real-time.

Notifying the Family
When donations are made in memory of a loved one, we write to the next of kin to let them know the total amount raised in their honour. This is often a great source of comfort to families during a difficult time.
