Create a lasting tribute

St Peter & St James Sunflower Tributes provide a special place for you, your family and friends to do something positive in memory of a loved one. Creating your own Tribute offers a unique way to come together to celebrate their life. Anyone can go online to contribute by sharing memories, messages, uploading photos or even lighting a candle, wherever they are in the world. You can also raise money here, in your loved one’s name and support the work of the Hospice in providing vital care.

Donate in memory

Many people decide to give gifts in lieu of flowers at funerals or memorial services. If you’re holding a service you can request donations to your Tribute Fund or order special envelopes. For more information, please call us on 01444 470722 or email

Where to next?

Give in celebration

You might also like to ask family and friends to make a donation to your Tribute Fund in celebration of a birthday or other occasion, such as an anniversary. This is another great way to remember your loved one whilst helping us to provide local hospice care services to patients and their families.

In memory events

Nathalie Selby’s family and friends.

“I was delighted to set up a Sunflower Tribute for my beautiful and wonderful daughter Nathalie….Taking part in the Sleepwalk in her memory was a great way for us all to celebrate her life.”
There are many ways you can help raise funds for St Peter & St James Hospice through your Tribute Fund, whether you are taking part in an organised event, like Nathalie’s family and friends, or putting on your own. For information about this or any other in memory events throughout the year, please contact the Fundraising Team.
