In Loving Memory

Honouring the memory of a loved one is a touching and meaningful gesture that goes beyond the passage of time. It is a beautiful way to celebrate their life and the impact they had on you.
Donating in their memory not only pays tribute to their legacy, it also creates a lasting impact by helping ensure our vital work continues today and in the future.

Ways to give in memory:

In lieu of Flowers

Many families find solace in knowing that their loved one’s passing can impact the lives of others in the community.

By requesting donations in lieu of flowers, you can contribute to our work of providing care, comfort and support to those in need. Inform your funeral director of your preference, and they will take care of the necessary arrangements, or if you prefer to manage this process yourself, we can assist.

Appreciation of Care

Expressing appreciation for the care your loved one received is a meaningful way to honour their memory.

Your gesture helps ensure our clinicians continue to have the finest resources and support, allowing them to care for other families with the same compassion and dedication. It’s a legacy of kindness that lives on through every life they touch.

Name a Room in Their Honour

Create a lasting tribute by naming a room or space within our facility in memory of your loved one.

This gesture not only commemorates their life but also offers comfort and inspiration to others walking a similar path. Talk to our team regarding options for this.

Honour a Loved One with a Day of Care

Mark a special day—like a birthday, anniversary, or meaningful milestone—by supporting a Day of Care at Tōtara Hospice in memory of someone dear to you.

By making a donation in tribute, you’re helping ensure that others receive the same comfort and support your loved one experienced.

Create a Lasting Tribute in Memory of a Loved One

With an In Loving Memory page, you can create a special online space to celebrate your loved one’s life—sharing stories, treasured photos, and heartfelt tributes. It’s a place for friends and family to come together, reflect, and remember.

These pages are free to create, have no expiry date, and can be shared for years to come. Whether or not your loved one was cared for by Tōtara Hospice, we welcome you to create a page in their honour.
