memorial donation

Honorific charitable contribution

A memorial donation is a charitable gift made in honor of someone who has died, typically in lieu of flowers at a funeral.

The obituary or family often suggests a preferred organization: Memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.

The charity usually notifies the family that a gift was made, without disclosing the amount.
