In Memory

In Memory

Remembering a loved one who is no longer with us is an important part of the bereavement journey.  There are many different ways that you can remember your loved one, and Willow Burn would be privileged to help you however we can.

Donate in memory of a loved one

A special and unique way to remember your loved one is to make a donation in memory to Willow Burn, celebrating their life and at the same time making a difference to your local community.

How can I make a donation in memory of a loved one?

Some people decide to make donations to Willow Burn on special dates throughout the year, such as birthdays, anniversaries or at Christmas.

• make a one-off donation by sending your donation to the Fundraising office
• Donation on line – through Willow Burn justgiving
• set up a regular donation, which can be for any amount that you choose- paid monthly by printing off a Willow Burn committed giving form or going to Willow Burn justgiving page.

How do I arrange donations in lieu of flowers and funeral collections?

Many families request that friends and relatives make donations to Willow Burn in lieu of flowers at their loved ones funeral.  If you would like help to arrange this, we can provide, free of charge, specially designed donation envelopes inscribed with your loved ones name to be handed out at the funeral.

Light Up A Life

Every year Willow Burn holds an annual Light Up A Life Remembrance Service.  The 2012 Light Up A Life remembrance service will be held in December at St Bede’s School in Lanchester.

Light Up A Life is an opportunity to remember with fondness and affection those who are no longer with us.  At the service we light up our Christmas tree, sing carols and take some time to remember your loved one.

Individuals are invited to sponsor a light on our tree in memory of a loved one or friend and have their name recorded in our Book of Remembrance which is available to view at the Service and then later at Willow Burn.

By joining us to remember your loved one and sponsoring a light, you will help us to continue to provide the wide range of services that Willow Burn gives to many patients, their families and friends in Derwentside.

Light Up A Life offers people a time for reflection, celebration and hope, bringing comfort at this time of year.

Invitations to the 2012 Light Up A Life remembrance service and donation forms will be sent out in October.  To register your name to receive details about the 2012 Light Up A Life remembrance service,  please contact Clare Chillingworth at Willow Burn.

How can I create an on-line memorial to my loved one?

Creating an on-line memorial to your loved one to celebrate and commemorate their life is a unique way to honour them.  We have chosen to partner with MuchLoved to provide this service on our behalf.

MuchLoved is a website where you can create an on-line memorial to your loved one.  Creating an on-line memorial to your loved one can help you, your family and friends to express your grief, share your memories and pay lasting tribute to your loved one together, no matter where you are in the world.  You can choose how much information to put on your tribute page, and most importantly you choose who is able to access your memorial pages.

If you wish, you can link your MuchLoved tribute page to Willow Burn and encourage friends and family to make a donation in memory of a loved one to Willow Burn.
