Macmillan Memorial Funds

Remember and celebrate someone special

A Macmillan Memorial Fund is a free online space where family and friends can come together to remember someone special.

Share treasured memories, photos, videos and stories. You can also collect donations in their memory, helping Macmillan support people living with cancer.

Creating a lasting tribute


Your Macmillan Memorial Fund is a place to celebrate someone's life and everything that made them unique.

You can personalise your page by adding:

  • photos, videos and music
  • memories and stories
  • messages from family and friends
  • funeral, memorial or celebration of life service details
  • donations and fundraising activities

Your fund can stay open for as long as you would like, so you can return to it on meaningful dates, share new memories and continue celebrating their life.

Macmillan Memorial Funds are provided through MuchLoved, an online memorial platform. Pages are free to create, and getting started takes just a few simple steps.

Setting up your Macmillan Memorial Fund is easy

Creating a fund is a free and simple way to celebrate your loved one's life and everything that made them special. Thanks to you and your loved one, any money raised will mean we can keep doing whatever it takes for people living with cancer.

Step 3 - Invite and share

You can share your unique web link or QR code so other people can post their memories, messages, donations or take part in fundraising events. You can choose to add events to your page at any time.

Step 4 - Keep it all together

You can add any donations you have collected for Macmillan outside of the memorial fund as offline donations. This means you have a running total of everything 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 create 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.
