Gifts in Memory

Honouring a Life. Continuing a Legacy.

Losing someone you love is never easy - but remembering them in a way that reflects their kindness, compassion, and values can be a powerful source of comfort.

Giving in memory is a deeply personal way to celebrate a life while supporting the work of Myrtle House - helping others in their time of need, just as your loved one might have done.

Whether it’s through a one-time donation, a funeral collection, or a lasting legacy, your gift will help provide food, friendship, and hope to local people facing hardship.

    Funeral Gifts

    Give in lieu of flowers

    Many families choose to honour their loved one by requesting donations in lieu of funeral flowers. This can be a beautiful tribute to someone who cared deeply about their community.

    We’re always grateful to receive funeral collections, and can provide:

    Donation envelopes

    Gift Aid forms

    Support for setting up an online memorial fund or giving page

    Your gesture will bring practical support and dignity to those in crisis - a legacy of love that lives on.

    Regular Giving in Memory

    Keep their spirit alive throughout the year

    A regular monthly donation made in memory of your loved one is a meaningful way to continue their story - turning loss into lasting impact.

    You can set up a gift:

    To mark birthdays or anniversaries

    As an ongoing remembrance

    To support a cause they believed in

    Your generosity will help us feed families, support wellbeing, and bring hope to people facing hardship.

    Leave a Legacy

    A gift in your will - hope for generations to come

    Including a gift to Myrtle House in your will is a powerful way to pass on your values and help shape a future where everyone has enough.

    Your legacy could:

    Fund food provision and essential care packages

    Support our Community Life Hubs and warm spaces

    Empower people through skills, wellbeing, and confidence-building programmes

    Every gift, large or small, makes a difference. It’s a timeless way to reflect the life and love you’ve shared.
