Gifts in memory

Creating a tribute page allows family and friends to make an online gift in honour of a loved one.

We can provide donation envelopes for individual gifts or send a batch of envelopes for distribution at a funeral service. These can be sent to you or to the funeral director.

To indicate your preference for donations in lieu of flowers amongst your family and friends, we suggest including a message in the funeral notice:

“In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, 1G Royal Parade, Parkville, Victoria 3052.”

Each donation received in memory of your loved one that contains a name and an address will be acknowledged with a thank you letter and receipt.

An acknowledgement will be sent to the family to let them know who has donated on request.
