How To..

How to Make a Donation online:

Visit our online tributes page.  Go to the Book of Memories of the deceased you would like to leave a donation for.  If the Charity that the family has chosen accepts Credit Card (National Charities) than that option will be made available for you as you proceed through your online donation.  Some of our National Charities we have set specifically for CHEQUE only method of payment.  The reason is that some are not equipped with the capabilities of taking donations via credit card ie. Churches, small local organizations.  Also by paying the donation by cheque we are able to distribute the donation to Local Chapters of certain very large Charities.  Alternatively credit card may simply never be an option if the family chooses to donate to an organization that does not have a Registered Charitable Organization Number.

Please note - if you decide to make your donation online via credit card - you will be directed outside of Ostrander's Funeral Home Ltd. website and onto the direct website of the Charity you have chosen to donate to.  We do not process the online credit card payments and as such will not be held responsible for the transactions completed on other websites.

 

What happens once you complete a donation online that requires a cheque?

Once you complete all the steps set out in the online donation process, we are automatically emailed a card to print for the family of the deceased.  We will then print that card so the family is made aware of your donation.  You may then make your cheque payable to the organization you have donated to and mail it to us at Ostrander's Funeral Home Ltd.,, 43 Bidwell St., Tillsonburg, ON  N4G 3T6.  It is beneficial if you note somewhere on the cheque or on a small piece of paper to whom the donation is made in memory of.  It is also of great help if you note that you made your donation online.  This allows us to be aware that card has already been given to the deceased's family. 

 

If you would rather simply call us to make a donation that is quite acceptable as well - we will take all your information and again as noted above you can make a  cheque (made payable to the organization selected) and mail directly to our Funeral Home.  Please contact us at any time at 519-842-5221 if you have any questions or concerns with your donation.
