Remembering a loved one allows their legacy to live on while supporting families who have also been affected by lung cancer.
We are proud to offer many ways to honour your loved one’s life and fondly remember cherished memories – setting up a Lasting Tribute page, sharing their story, enrolling their name to our special Memory Wall, organising a collection at their funeral or supporting our Lights of Hope appeal at Christmas. However you choose to remember your loved one, we are here to support you.
Set up a Lasting Tribute
A Lasting Tribute is your loved one’s story book – an online space to cherish, remember and celebrate the life of your loved one.
A Lasting Tribute to Nick
Fiona set up a Lasting Tribute page in memory of her husband, Nick. Not only was it a wonderful place for everyone to share memories, it also gave Fiona so much joy.
“Setting up a Lasting Tribute for Nick was so easy to do and I actually really enjoyed it, looking back at all our old photos and conjuring up memories momentarily forgotten. It is also lovely to read the tributes and look at the pictures others have shared, not just for me but for our daughter, Isabel, and other family members too.“
Your Lasting Tribute can be used to share memories, post pictures, light virtual candles, host events and mark milestones and anniversaries. A Lasting Tribute can be made private or public at any time, so friends and family can contribute via a personalised link. It is a place to bring loved ones together to remember someone special, a source of comfort where memories can live on.

Memory Wall
Our online memory wall is full of love. It allows you to post a photo, leave a message or share a memory of your loved one.
When you add your dedication, you will also have chance to make a donation in their memory to help support other families affected by lung cancer.
Funeral collections
Many people kindly ask for donations in lieu of flowers at a loved ones funeral. This gift in memory of a loved one is a meaningful way to honour them and we appreciate the sentiment that it comes with.
We can also offer personalised envelopes with the name of your loved one for funeral donations. These envelopes contain Gift Aid information meaning that for every £1 we’ll receive an extra 25% from UK eligible taxpayers making donations in memory of your loved ones go even further.
If you have already arranged a funeral collection and want to know how to pay the money in, we have several options:
Cheques which have been made out to ‘Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation’ can be forwarded directly to:
Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation,
The Cotton Exchange Building,
Old Hall Street,
Liverpool,
L3 9LQ.
We kindly ask families to bank any cash donations themselves and to raise a cheque made out to ‘Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation’. We do not recommend sending cash via the post. If the donations are from filled in Gift Aid envelopes, please send the envelope with the amount written on it and bank the cash.
When sending cheques, we kindly ask you to enclose a brief note, to notify us of your loved one’s name and that the money was raised at their funeral.
You can also make your donation online via our donation form. Please specify that the gift is in memory of your loved one and raised as a funeral collection.
