How to Direct People to make a Donation to FPS in lieu of Flowers in an Obituary Notice

• For those who want to invite others to support a memorial via an obituary or life celebration, you can create a meaningful Remembrance page on our website.  Submit a favorite photo and share a heartwarming story with words of comfort about your loved one on a personal page, and also invite others to do the same.  You can then use this unique page and its URL in the loved one’s obituary notice, and your family and friends can leave both a memorial donation and words of comfort.
• If you do not wish to create a Remembrance page,  simply write the following in the obituary:  In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for memorial donations to be made in the loved one’s name to: For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation, 620 West Germantown Pike, Suite 150, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19426 or online at www.takeabreakfromcancer.org.
• For those directing memorial donations to For Pete’s Sake in an obituary, we offer complimentary memorial cards for attendees at the life celebration service to take with them. The cards contain information about the family’s request for donations to For Pete’s Sake. The beautiful cards, which can be shared with any service attendees, contain information about the impact of their support by providing the gift of FPS Respite to families facing cancer. We will send these materials directly to the funeral home, assisting you with your loved one’s service.

Every individual who makes a thoughtful donation in memory of their loved ones will receive a meaningful acknowledgment card thanking them for their generous support of our mission and a beautiful Tree of Life charm and card. Directed memorials in memory of FPS Respite Recipients will also receive a personalized memorial photo card that highlights the celebration of their life while on FPS Respite. View samples of these personalized memorial photo cards at the top of this page.

We will provide memorial reports with the names of the thoughtful donors who supported respite in memory of your loved one. Additionally, you will receive helpful grief resources, including a meditation book and other resources to provide a sense of peace and comfort for your family, and that will forever keep your loved one close to your heart.

If you wish to direct Memorial Donations to For Pete’s Sake, please contact Donna Esterle, Mission Support, at donna@takeabreakfromcancer.org or call our office at 267.708.0510. We will respond to your request within 48 hours.
