More than an announcement

One place for news.
And for memories.

A funeral notice is an announcement that someone has died. It can include a photograph, a few words about their life, the funeral date and location, and the family’s wishes for flowers or donations.

An online notice gives family and friends a link they can share by message, email or social media. It also becomes a lasting tribute, with space for memories, photographs, messages of condolence and virtual candles.

Funeral-notices.co.uk keeps notices online after the funeral, so loved ones can return on anniversaries or whenever they wish to remember.

We will help you choose the wording and check the arrangements before publication. If the funeral is private, we can help you make that clear.

01

Share the arrangements

Help people find the date, time, location and any special wishes in one place.

02

Remember together

Family and friends can add a tribute, share a photograph or light a virtual candle.

03

Support a cause

Choose whether to include a charity collection in your loved one’s memory.

We will help with the details

Your notice,
in three simple steps.

Our free service covers the online notice arranged through us. A newspaper announcement or other paid extras are separate; we will explain any cost before you decide.

  1. Tell us what you would like to include

    Bring a favourite photograph, the details you want to share and, if you wish, the name of a charity. We can help put the words together.

  2. Check the notice, then share the link

    Once the details are agreed and the notice is published, send its link to relatives and friends. You can also find notices through our website.

  3. Add memories and give, if you wish

    Visitors can follow the options on the notice to leave a tribute or donate when a collection is open. The site may ask them to register for some features.

Giving in memory

A cause that
meant something to them.

You may wish to invite donations instead of flowers, or alongside them. It could be a hospice that provided care, a local cause or a charity your loved one supported.

Tell us your preferred charity or charities so we can check the correct recipient. Giving is always optional, and there is no expectation to donate.

Online

Through the notice

Open the person’s notice and select its donation option, where available. Check the charity, enter your chosen amount and follow the payment steps on the provider’s website.

The usual collection period is around five weeks. Check the individual notice for availability; once closed, you can give directly to the charity.

In person

At the funeral or wake

Where a collection is arranged, guests can leave a donation in the collection box. The box goes with the family to the wake, and the family arranges to pass the money to the chosen charity.

Read our collection arrangements

Direct

To the charity

You can give through the chosen charity’s official website or contact it about other ways to donate. Include the person’s name if the charity offers an in-memory option.

A direct gift may not appear in the total on the online funeral notice.

Making an eligible gift go further

Gift Aid.
A little more good.

Gift Aid allows an eligible charity to reclaim 25p for each £1 of a qualifying donation, at no extra cost to the donor.

£20eligible donation
+
£5Gift Aid
=
£25for the charity

Example based on £20 qualifying for Gift Aid. Where processing fees reduce the eligible amount, the actual charity total will be lower.

When can I choose Gift Aid?

  • You are donating your own money.
  • You have paid, or will pay, enough UK Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in that tax year to cover the Gift Aid on all your donations.
  • The recipient and donation qualify, and you complete the Gift Aid declaration with your name and home address.

If too little tax is paid, you are responsible for the shortfall. VAT and Council Tax do not count. Tell the charity if your eligibility changes.

Gift Aid is optional. You can still donate if you are not eligible or prefer not to add it. Not every community group or collection qualifies.

Read the GOV.UK Gift Aid guidance

Choosing the right option

Your Gift Aid
options explained.

Your own eligible gift

Choose “Yes”

If you meet the conditions, select the Gift Aid option when offered and complete the declaration. The exact wording may vary by donation provider.

No Gift Aid

Choose “No”

If you do not qualify, are unsure, or prefer not to use Gift Aid, leave the option unticked or choose “No”. Your donation is still welcome.

Money collected from others

Keep the collection separate

Do not claim Gift Aid in your own name on money collected at the funeral or wake. Ask the charity how to record any individual donor declarations and pay in the collection. Make your own personal gift separately.

For pooled collections, Gift Aid depends on the individual donors and the charity’s records. See HMRC’s detailed Gift Aid guidance.

A little guidance

Questions families ask.

Do we have to collect donations?

No. A notice can simply share the funeral details and provide a place for memories. Flowers, donations, both or neither are a personal choice.

Will the notice disappear when the collection closes?

No. Funeral Notices says the notice remains online after the collection has closed. Family and friends can continue to return to the tribute page.

Can someone donate if they cannot attend the funeral?

Yes, where an online collection is available. Send them the notice link so they can check the chosen charity and make their own donation.

Can we choose a local group rather than a registered charity?

Ask us to check the recipient and collection arrangements with the provider. Some good causes can receive funds but cannot claim Gift Aid.
