In memoriam
Many patients, their families, friends and other supporters of FORCE Cancer Charity request that money is donated to FORCE rather than flowers at a funeral. This is a very personal choice and we give a heartfelt thank you to families and friends for supporting us in this way.
Please call us if you would like to discuss further on 01392 406166. Alternatively to download our Gift in Memory leaflet
In Memoriam Online Pages – who we work with.
You can create an online page in memory of a relative or friend, collect donations for charity in place of flowers and allow fundraisers to raise money in remembrance.
We work with the four online platforms below. Their detailed step by step guides to set up your tribute online page contains all the information you will need. You will be able to personalise your page, add pictures as well as be able to send a link out to family and friends to donate in memory.

Other ways to remember
Funeral collections – normal practice outside of COVID.
The funeral director will look after all cash and cheques given by family and friends in memory. Normally there is a collection plate at the back of the church or crematorium. We would recommend that gifts are placed in envelopes and sealed.
We have suitable envelopes available from FORCE, which can also be used if you would like to Gift Aid your donation and we would ask that any cheques be made payable to FORCE Cancer Charity.
Cheques can be sent to the funeral directors by those not able to attend the funeral service. For this reason donations can take up to 3 months to be sent to the charity. A letter of acknowledgement is sent out to the next of kin at this point.
Cheques can also be sent straight to the FORCE Cancer Support Centre at our address: FORCE Cancer Charity, Corner House, Barrack Road, Exeter, Devon EX2 5DW
Alternatively, if you would like to make a payment by BACS transfer, our details are:
Bank name: Lloyds Bank PLC, 234 High Street, Exeter, EX4 3NL
Sort code: 30-80-37
Account number: 60796568
Take a look at our event calendar and perhaps you would like to take part in an event to remember somebody. Did they love cycling, running, walking, baking – what could you do in their memory?
