Keep Someone
Close to the Heart.

Remember someone who has died, honor someone important, or mark a meaningful occasion. Let that connection inspire support for another family.

A Name. A Memory. A Lasting Connection.

In Memory

Acknowledge the life of someone who has died.

In Honor

Celebrate a person, milestone, or act of kindness.

With Others

“And so, they live on inside your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up.”

Invite family and friends to remember someone together.

Invite each person to name one thing they remember, such as a favorite saying, a recipe, or a kindness they still carry with them.

How the Carr Family Remembers Chad

After Chad died, his brothers, CJ and Tommy, each found their own way into group. Their parents, Tammi and Jason, met other parents whose children had died. Together, the family could talk about Chad and share memories of him.

“During a time when there were very few shining moments, Ele’s Place was one.”
Tammi Carr

A tribute gift is one way to carry someone’s meaning forward. It does not require sharing your story publicly.

“Death ends a life, not a relationship.” — Mitch Albom

Make a Tribute Gift

Your Gift Starts Here.

If you have questions about naming someone in your tribute or notifying their family, contact our Development team.

Your Dedication, Your Choice.

Contact our Development team to ask about notification options for your gift.

A donation should not automatically become a public story or tribute. Any optional public recognition will be clearly explained and separate from making a gift.

Contact Development to talk through your plans, timing, and the most helpful way for others to give.

Tell Us What You Have in Mind.

Contact the Ele’s Place team in your community and ask to connect with Development. We’ll help you find the right next step.

A Gift Can Take Many Forms.

Find a way to give that fits your life and what matters to you.
