What is Donate in Memory?

A simple way for everyone to pay their respects

Donate in Memory is a very personal way to remember a loved one and support Cancer Research UK.

In a few simple steps you can set up a lasting and growing tribute in memory of a loved one that can help us achieve our vision of beating cancer.

How does Donate in Memory work?

Creating a page is quick and easy and you can personalise it with one of our sympathetic themes, your own message and photos. You can add as much or as little as you like – it’s up to you.

Family and friends can then leave a message of condolence and make a donation to your page, no matter where they are in the world.

The funds raised in memory of your loved one will help us to make real advances in finding more ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. 

Many people use their page to share practical information around the time of the funeral and then add to their page over time.

Your page will stay open for as long as you want it to. So you can also use it to remember your loved one on special occasions like anniversaries or at Christmas when you can update your page and share your thoughts with family and friends.
