Funeral Tributes In Memory Of Your Loved One
Friends and family often give donations at funerals in memory of their loved one, to benefit a cause that was important to them, or in lieu of buying flowers. Due to the current limitations on people attending funerals, setting up an online Funeral Tribute page provides an opportunity for people who can’t be there in person, to pay their respects and leave a message of condolence or even light a virtual candle.
