What are memorial funds?

Memorial funds are best defined as donations made in memory of the deceased. They serve as a way to honor the individual’s legacy by providing financial support for causes or projects that were important to them or that their family wishes to support in their honor. This might include charitable organizations, community projects, or specific initiatives related to their interests or passions.

Others options serve different purposes. For instance, funds collected for funeral expenses primarily cover the costs associated with the funeral service itself, while funds used for cemetery maintenance specifically cater to the upkeep of burial sites. Scholarships established in the deceased's name focus on providing educational financial assistance to students, but do not encompass the broader purpose of memorial funds which may support a variety of causes beyond education.
