If the person a campaign was for dies, the page can become a memorial. Everyone who was there stays, the messages and photos stay, and the family can keep getting help if they need it.
The messages, photos and updates everyone left don't go anywhere, and the highlight film they made together stays with them. People can keep adding memories.
A memorial campaign can keep taking gifts by card through Stripe, for funeral costs, the medical bills that arrive afterward, or whatever comes next. We take no percentage. Handful of Angels is not a charity, and donations are personal gifts that are generally not tax-deductible.
Friends and family who can't all be in the same room get somewhere to remember them out loud, and to check on each other.
A person on our team reviews every memorial request before the page changes. We take that seriously.
Turning a campaign into a memorial takes a few steps, mostly so nothing happens by mistake.
The Angel submits a memorial request with the date of passing and, if they want, a few words.
Someone on our team checks the request before anything changes on the page.
Supporters get a notification, and the page becomes a memorial.
If the family wants, people can keep giving in their memory.
A memorial starts from an existing campaign. If you don't have one yet, start one, and you can ask us to convert it when the time comes.
