Ray's Memorial

$1,240 of $1,100 goal
Given by 12 generous donors in one year

Cover the cost of a memorial service at Waikumete Cemetery, West Auckland

Auckland

Funerals are a grim fact of life but often we are ill prepared. Whilst we are immensely grateful for the precious time we have with Ray before his decline, we are not prepared for the envitable costs of his departure. We are thankful to have the funeral service costs covered but are left struggling to meet the cost of the memorial service he deserves. As with his family before him, Ray wishes to host this service at the Waikumete Memorial Chapel, allowing friends & family to say goodbye in good time.

We wish to express our heart felt gratitude for all donations of support, no matter how big or small. Every cent counts in times of need.

With love,

Ray, Joreen and whanau

Please note: Any funds raised over and above our target will go towards organising a gathering at the local RSA after the memorial.
