A Tribute Donation
Sometimes the best gift you can give is to help a charity that was important to the lost loved one. Oftentimes, the family will list a charity that you can donate to in lieu of flowers or gifts. If no charity is recommended, find one that relates to the late father’s interests or perhaps an illness or disorder he suffered from. Some popular national charities include the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Cancer Society, The Nature Conservancy, and ASPCA.
