A fundraising for funeral costs

A bereavement or funeral fundraising helps a family cover costs related to a ceremony, transport, burial, memorial, or immediate support.

It gives relatives, friends, colleagues, and community members a simple and respectful way to support the family financially.

A sober message, clear information, and sensitive sharing help centralize donations while preserving the dignity of the moment.

Yes, no sign-up is required to participate. Your contacts can contribute directly from their phone or computer in just a few seconds

The duration is up to you, but generally fundraisings remain open for 1 to 3 weeks so everyone has time to contribute before or after the funeral

To announce a bereavement fundraising, use a sober and caring message. Mention the reason for the fundraising (funeral costs, family support) and simply share the link.

For example: "For those who wish to show support, a fundraising has been opened here: [link]. Thank you for your thoughts."

Yes, with CotizUp, no platform commission is deducted from fundraisings.

Many fundraising sites charge up to 8% in fees just to use their platform.

With CotizUp, only bank processing fees are charged by the payment processor to accept card payments (Visa, Mastercard, etc.). They usually charge around 1.9% + 0.50 per transaction, but we do not charge anything.

The platform can continue to exist thanks only to optional tips from participants
