Fundraising
Fundraising is a meaningful part of the funeral profession’s contribution to communities, often honouring the memory of the deceased while supporting local, national, or sector-specific causes. From charity collections and memorial donations to sponsored events and staff-led initiatives, funeral businesses regularly engage in fundraising efforts that reflect their values and community connections. Funeral Service Times reports on fundraising activities across the sector, highlighting campaigns led by funeral directors, crematoria, suppliers, and professional bodies—offering insight into how the profession supports charitable work with dignity and purpose.
