Bereavement is one of the hardest things anyone has to face in life but finding a lasting way to remember a loved one can be a great comfort.
It can be helpful to do something positive in memory of someone close to you. Your donations will be helping other families relying on the care and support provided by our hospices.
By creating an everlasting tribute to someone special you can share your memories and stories with friends and family. Any money you raise for Havens Hospices through the everlasting tribute fund – however you do it – will be dedicated to them.
You can create a tribute fund below, just enter the name of your loved one to begin.
You can view our Everlasting Tribute Garden, dedicated to the memories of loved ones, here.

Dedicate a leaf in memory of your loved one. Adding a leaf to the tree, engraved with your loved one’s name, nickname or a short message, is a special way to dedicate in their memory and we hope it provides some comfort to you.
Leaves of life is a public memorial at Southend Crematorium, SS2 5PX, in the beautiful Gardens of Remembrance. You can visit the memorial tree any time the crematorium is open.
For more information or to dedicate a leaf click here.
We must raise more than £85,000 each week to continue our specialist care,

If you would like to collect donations at a funeral or memorial service in lieu of flowers, we can provide donation envelopes which can hold cash, donations by card and claim Gift Aid.
