Setting up a Cherished Memory Fund

Share
Cherished Memory Funds provide an online space for you to remember someone close to you. You can share memories, photos and videos, all while raising funds for Marie Curie. You can also make contributions through donations received at memorial services and funerals, or by doing your own fundraising activity. The choice is yours.

Setting up a fund

It only takes a few minutes to set up, and there's no time limit on your page once you've created it. You're welcome to grow it year after year as a lasting tribute to the memory of your loved one.

Setting up a Cherished Memory Fund was a no-brainer for us. After Anna died, people were contacting us saying, ‘Can we buy flowers? What can we do?’ And we would say, ‘No, instead of flowers, we’ve set this up.’
We want others to benefit from the same level of care as Anna, because it made a really heart-breaking time so much easier.
