What is an appropriate amount
to contribute to the memorial fund?

The online money pool for a funeral will most often help to pay the expenses incurred during the funeral.

The costs are quite substantial between:

• funeral services,
• the casket,
• flowers, reception…

There is no fixed or universally accepted amount to donate to a memorial fund. The appropriate amount can vary depending on several factors, which we will explain below. However, it’s important to remember that every donation, regardless of the amount, is greatly appreciated. Your contribution will be seen as a meaningful gesture of support during this difficult time of mourning

1. What was your relationship with the deceased or their family? This is an important factor to consider when deciding how much to donate. Generally, the close you were to the deceased, the more you may feel inclined to give.
2. What is your financial capacity?  It’s important to give what you can afford without putting yourself in financial difficulty. You should not go into debt or overdraft to contribute to a memorial fund. Everyone has different financial resources and any amount you can give is appreciated.
3. What is the collective goal of the memorial fund? Typically, many people contribute to a memorial fund, which means that even small donations can add up to reach the goal. The important thing is to participate and show your support for the family during this difficult time.

When is it appropriate to set up an online memorial fund?

There are no general or specific rules for when to create an online memorial fund for funeral expenses. The timing depends on the context, as each situation is unique and the grieving process can be lengthy. However, creating an online memorial fund is a practical and efficient way to mobilize financial support during times of bereavement, regardless of the stage of the grieving process.

Here are a few situations in which creating an online memorial fund for funeral expenses may be appropriate:

Immediately after the death: you can create an online money pool as soon as you are informed of the death, especially if funeral or medical expenses are an immediate concern for the deceased’s loved ones. This allows friends and family to start contributing quickly and provide immediate financial support..

Before the funeral: many online money pools are set up before the funeral to help cover associated expenses such as the funeral service, casket, flowers and reception. This helps relieve the family of some financial concerns at this difficult time.

After the funeral: sometimes memorial funds are created after the funeral to help the family adjust to their new life. The loss of a loved one can mean a loss of income or significant expenses already incurred by the family. This fund provides long-term support for the survivors.

Anniversary of death or special date: some people choose to create an online funeral donation on the anniversary of death or other special dates to commemorate the deceased and raise funds in their memory.

In case of unexpected financial needs: if the bereaved family is faced with unexpected financial needs after the death, such as uncovered medical bills or other expenses, an online money pool can be created at that time to provide additional support.
