funeral-notices.co.uk we offer our private customers and our Funeral Directors the ability to add an online donations service to any main Funeral Notice. This means that anyone viewing the notice can leave a donation to the chosen charity in memory of those who have passed away. This is of great benefit to families, especially during covid-19 restrictions, as it’s got much harder to do physical collections at the funeral service.
