Christophers’ Family Funerals, local and independent funeral directors in Ashburton and Newton Abbot, are proud to announce that they have helped to raise £25,382.53 in charitable donations in 2023.

Alongside their funeral arranging services, Christophers’ Family Funerals, facilitate the handling and organising of offering family and friends the opportunity to donate to a charity of their choice in memory of their loved ones. Some choose a charity that has helped their family over the years, while others choose a cause that was close to the deceased's heart.

The local funeral directors will help to facilitate the collection of donations, both during the funeral and after, via their website and in their funeral homes.
The charitable donations have been collected through various channels:
In-house donations: £22,191
Online donations: In 2023, £2,705.00 was raised for charities through Christophers' Family Funerals' notices, with an additional £486.53 in Gift Aid.
These generous contributions have been used to support various charities and causes, both locally in Devon and across the UK.

Tom Meek, Funeral Director and Managing Director of Christophers’ Family Funerals, expressed his gratitude, saying, “We are deeply thankful to all those who have generously donated funds to support various causes and charities throughout the year. At Christophers’ Family Funerals, we are dedicated to providing compassionate care and service to all the families we serve, as well as the wider community.
