Funeral arrangements

Thank you for considering an RAF Benevolent Fund collection at your loved one’s funeral or memorial service. This is such a special way to commemorate the life of someone incredibly special to you. We can help you with both online and in person memorial collections and have provided some popular service readings which you may find suitable for your loved ones service.

Organising a collection

For many families, it is easiest to collect funeral and memorial service donations online. An RAF Benevolent Fund Tribute Fund can be shared with friends and family so they can leave donations at any time.  They can light candles and add memories and photos, making your loved one's page a permanent memorial, which you can revisit in the future. Your funeral director may be able to help you set up a Tribute Fund for RAF Benevolent Fund, either on our own website or through another provider such as Muchloved.

The funeral director may offer to organise the collection on your behalf, and more are now using online collection platforms as above to do this. Another useful option is to print our web address rafbf.org/donate – on the order of service. Family and friends can donate online and mention your loved one when making the donation. We are then able to track all donations in your loved one's name. We would recommend you contact us beforehand if you would like to track these donations.
