Raising money for charity is a great way to remember a loved one, but with the trend overtaking the giving of flowers as a way of showing respect, are charities are missing an opportunity to maximise donations? In this presentation we cover: • How charities can work with Funeral Directors to move more funeral giving online to increase efficiency and income • Exlusive insights on people fundraising in memory of someone. We explain why and how you can look after these highly motivated individuals, with some best practice examples from the charity sector
