Make a memorial donation and light a candle
Giving money to a charitable cause is a common way of honouring someone who has died. A particular fund is often named in the death notice, and if you choose to give, the family receive a memorial card stating who the gift is from.
FRII is an organisation with 146 members whose purpose is to work for a favourable climate in Sweden for voluntary work and for public fundraising, and to raise the quality of fundraising.
Go to the memorial donation page to give to one of FRII’s member organisations.

What does a 90 account mean?
Below are some of the largest and most common funds. They are well regarded and approved for a 90 account with Plusgiro and Bankgiro, which are supervised by Svensk Insamlingskontroll, the Swedish fundraising control body, and are therefore an assurance that the help reaches the purpose promised.
When does the gift need to reach the fund?
Gifts should be paid in good time so that the memorial card arrives before the funeral. You can do this directly on the organisation’s own website, or pay into a fund’s bankgiro or plusgiro. When you make a gift it is important to tell the fund the following:
- The name of the person who has died
- The date of the funeral
- Any words of remembrance and the names of those the gift is from
- An address for the memorial card to be sent to, for example a relative or the funeral directors
