About Gift in Memory
Giving a gift in memory of a loved one is a wonderful way to celebrate their life. By choosing a cause close to their heart, you can ensure the work they supported during their lifetime continues into the future. Gifts made to BMS World Mission will honour their memory, giving hope to the world through God’s transformative love.
You may wish to invite others to join you in remembering your loved one by creating an online tribute page, where you, your family and friends can share memories, stories and a photo. Scroll down the page to find an existing tribute page or to set one up. In addition, you might consider arranging an in memoriam funeral collection. A tribute page is a lovely way to facilitate this, allowing those near and far to contribute to your loved one’s memory and legacy.

Create a tribute
To create a tribute page, you will need a photograph that can be uploaded digitally and some memories to share. This could be anything from a heartfelt message to a short obituary.
We’ll set up the page for you and send you a link to share with friends and family so they can add their own tributes to the page.
A tribute page is also a practical space where you can share funeral details and collect donations, in lieu of flowers or in addition to flowers.
If you would like assistance with any of these details, please contact Lucy, our Legacy Officer, at legacies@bmsworldmission.org or by calling her on 01235 517615.
