Raising money in memory
For help with funeral costs or starting a memorial, raise money for community support in remembering a loved one.
Funeral expenses can run into thousands, and can put a strain on a family or community at a time when they are grieving for their lost loved one.
With the costs of funerals and memorials being so exorbitant, many have turned to crowdfunding to help raise the money they need.
