In Memory
Honouring loved ones and keeping their memory alive
Why Donate in Memory?
Donating in memory is a meaningful tribute to someone who has passed away. Instead of traditional gifts like flowers, families and friends can contribute funds to the Hospice in the name of their loved one.
These donations help ensure that the hospice can continue providing care and support for others in need.
To say goodbye in the most precious way possible
“The extraordinary loving care and unwavering support the team at Tapping House showed to my wife Sarah and continue to provide to families every day is truly impeccable. It’s the expertise and thoughtful care that provoke a feeling of gratitude in all those who have been supported by the Hospice. “

Light Up a Life
During the month of December our Light Up A Life campaign at the Hospice and in the community, provides an opportunity for people to pause and reflect, to celebrate our families and remember those who are sadly no longer with us.
Our Hospice tree is adorned with hand written stars from hundreds of families we have supported over the years. This is the perfect time to remember loved ones and create a tribute.
Funerals or Memorial Services
In Lieu of Flowers
During a funeral or memorial service, many families choose to request donations instead of flowers. This heartfelt gesture can make a lasting impact in the community and provide a meaningful way for others to show their support.
We offer personalised donation envelopes upon request. These can be distributed at the service, and eligible donations can be Gift Aided, increasing their value to the Hospice by 25%.
Online Funeral Notice
You might like to create a funeral notice to share the details of your loved one’s service with family and friends. It’s a thoughtful way to keep everyone informed and can also be used to collect donations in lieu of flowers. You could even turn the page into a special online memorial, sharing photos and memories to celebrate their life.
