Tribute Gifts

Given in the name of a loved one, tribute gifts are unique expressions of thoughtfulness. HNOC offers two types of tribute gifts, Honor and Memorial.

An Honor Gift recognizes a person on a special occasion, such as a birthday, wedding, or anniversary.

A Memorial Gift offers a meaningful way to pay lasting tribute to the memory of a loved one while also extending sympathy to the family.

Your loved one or their family will receive a special acknowledgment that recognizes the honoree and the donor. The amount of your gift remains confidential.
