“We are delighted to announce these figures, driving ever more donors to our funeral director customer’s websites. The fact that consistently 80%+ of donors using cards to donate, add Gift Aid, makes this form of donation management ever more compelling.
We remain totally committed to deducting nothing from any donation and confirm that our only charge of £6 per funeral to the funeral director, remains fixed for the coming year.”
