The tradition of giving flowers at funerals is deeply rooted, representing the transient beauty of life and honoring the person who has passed away. However, today, many families are choosing to request donations in memory of their loved ones instead of flowers. This meaningful gesture can have a lasting impact and provide a sense of comfort to grieving families.
Why Donate in Memory?
Create a Lasting Legacy: While flowers fade with time, a memorial donation can create a lasting impact. By donating to a cause close to your loved one’s heart, you can ensure their legacy continues, such as setting up scholarship for needy but meritorious students, supporting a cause close to the departed soul’s heart or donating to a charitable organization.
Reflect Personal Values: Honor your loved one’s passions and values by donating to a cause they cared deeply about. Your contribution helps ensure their spirit lives on through a positive, enduring impact.
Build a Sense of Community: Memorial donations bring family and friends together, fostering a sense of shared purpose and community. This collective effort can help in healing the pain of bereavement by remembering and honoring someone special.
Create a lasting legacy in memory of a loved one
Make a Memorial Donation
Your donation to SERUDS in memory of a loved one supports vital projects that create meaningful change in the lives of those in need. When you make an ‘In Memory’ gift, the family or individual you designate will receive a personalized message notifying them of your thoughtful contribution, while the donation amount remains private. Alternatively, you may choose to receive the notification yourself.
Your donation may also be tax-deductible under Section 80G in India or 501(c)(3) in the USA, and you will receive an acknowledgment for your gift.
Create a Memorial Page
Honor your loved one’s memory by asking us to create a personalized memorial page. Share their story, add a cherished photo, and invite others to contribute in their honor. Each donor will be acknowledged, and you will receive a list of all who donated, allowing you to see the collective impact made in your loved one’s name.
Support a Cause That Matters
Donations to Sai Educational Rural and Urban Development Society (SERUDS) are eligible for tax exemption under Sec 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in India, and to SERUDS Inc., USA, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
Your contribution will directly fund SERUDS’ charitable projects in India, helping to make a lasting difference in the lives of those who need it most.
