Memorial Donations

When someone close to us dies, we experience grief, sadness and ultimately, an appreciation of all the memories we have of that special person. A Memorial Donation to Lifeline is a thoughtful way to remember someone, and at the same time help give support and life to those who remain.

How Memorial Donations are Processed:

• Letter Expressing Condolences and Appreciation: The next of kin/nearest family member of the person who has died is sent a letter expressing condolences and special thanks to the names of all those who kindly make memorial donations (the dollar amount is not mentioned).
• Receipts for All Donors: Everyone who makes a memorial donation is sent a letter of thanks and receipt, which can be used for tax purposes, if required.

You can download an In Memorial Donation Form to assist you with collections.

To make a Memorial Donation in honour of a loved one:

Mail: please send a cheque/money order/credit card details by post to Lifeline Australia, P O Box 173, Deakin West ACT 2600 and include the following three details:

1. Your name and address [so that we can provide you with a receipt];
2. The name and address of the person who has died;
3. The name and address of the next of kin or nearest family member, [so that we can inform them of your kind memorial donation, without mentioning the $ amount]
