Create a Tribute Fund in memory of a loved one

An online tribute fund is a digital webpage where you can leave memories, photos, and stories about your loved one. Creating an online tribute fund page is the perfect way to continue their story and by using one of our two providers you can personalise your experience.

Your Macmillan tribute fund

Setting up a tribute fund

A tribute fund is a comforting place where you can share your special memories, as well as collecting donations for Macmillan in memory of your loved one.

On a tribute page you can add stories, leave gifts, load music, share funeral details and fundraise for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Setting up your tribute fund is easy

Creating a tribute fund is a free and simple way to celebrate your loved one’s life and everything that made them unique while also supporting Macmillan.

Thanks to you and your loved one, any money raised will mean we can keep doing whatever it takes for those living with cancer.

Step three

You can share your bespoke web link so others can post their memories, leave messages, donate, or take part in fundraising events. You can choose to add events to your page at any time.

Step four

You can add any donations you have collected for Macmillan outside of the tribute fund as offline donations. This means you can have a running total of everything you've raised in one place.  

Continue their story through fundraising

Just like your special memories of your loved one, your tribute fund page will be here for years to come. You might choose to have a funeral collection, mark significant dates or special occasions with friends and family members by revisiting your tribute fund, or creating an event to continue to raise funds.

You can create an event page that directly links to your tribute fund page, so all of your in-memory activity stays next to your loved one’s memories. Whether you are hosting a coffee morning, taking on a challenge event or doing something completely unique in the name of the person you are remembering, everything is safely recorded and displayed on your tribute fund.
