In Memory

Honoring a loved one through a donation is a unique and lasting tribute, especially during significant moments such as funerals, birthdays, anniversaries, or festive seasons like Christmas. Donating to a charity that supported your loved one or one they cared about, such as Epilepsy Action Australia, can be a deeply meaningful gesture.

You can choose to make a one-off donation or set up a regular gift in their memory. Additionally, you can request that family and friends donate to Epilepsy Action Australia instead of sending flowers. These thoughtful contributions create a meaningful legacy, benefiting the lives of people living with epilepsy now and in the future.

Choosing how to fundraise in memory of a loved one is a deeply personal decision. Epilepsy Action Australia is here to support and empower you to honor your loved one in the way that feels right for you.

Together, we can create a lasting tribute that makes a difference.

You may like to choose to commemorate the life of a loved one by asking for donations to Epilepsy Action rather than flowers at the funeral or memorial service.

If you would like friends and family members to make a donation to Epilepsy Action in lieu of flowers, you may wish to include the following wording in your loved one’s funeral announcement:

 ‘Donations in lieu of flowers to Epilepsy Action Australia –www.epilepsy.org.au’.

During this difficult time, we can also make it a little easier by providing free donation envelopes that can be sent to you, a nominated family member or funeral home. Please call 1300 EPILEPSY (37 45 37) or email epilepsy@epilepsy.org.au with your requirements.

Our free Gift In Lieu envelopes are an easy way for people to donate in memory of a loved one.

Honour your loved one by creating an online tribute and donation page. By doing this simple 3 step process, you will be able to organise a group collection in lieu of flowers and accept one off donations to honour the memory of your loved who’s legacy will go on to support the 250,000 Australian’s impacted by epilepsy.
