Dedicate a butterfly in memory of your loved one.

For a donation of £9.50 per month, you can purchase a Butterfly engraved with the name of your loved one.
The butterfly wall is located outside in our hospice garden, allowing you to take time to reflect in the peaceful surroundings.
A butterfly in memory of someone special
For a monthly donation of £9.50, you can dedicate a butterfly (minimum period 12 months).
Alternatively, you can make an annual donation of £114 and we will contact you each year to discuss your renewal.
Once you have made your dedication, we will be in touch to let you know the date that your butterfly will be available to view (which will be within approximately 4-6 weeks). Please do contact us if you would like your butterfly to be displayed sooner or on a specific date as we will be happy to try to accommodate any specific requests.
You are welcome to come and view your butterfly at any time – on special occasions, or simply because you are passing, your butterfly is yours to treasure.
“Like many Mothers and Daughters, Charley and I are very close but losing Howard my husband and her father forged an even deeper and very unique bond between us. Our special language is the image of a butterfly which means more to us both than words can ever say. If either of us is struggling or need support, we send an image of a butterfly to signify we need one another, we still both have very emotional moments with the grief and memory being so raw. So much so that we each carry a butterfly wing on the inside of our wrist which makes a pair once united. Inseparable always. The significance of the butterfly for both my daughter and I is perfect and having a special space in the gardens at ellenor that will forever be uniquely personal and tender means so much. I can’t wait to see my butterfly inscribed displayed beautifully on the tribute wall.” -Sue, Supporter.
