My little brother was killed in a motorcycle accident 5 days before his 19th birthday last year. My parents have had a very hard time dealing with this, I thought it would be nice to make a donation in his name and present it to them at Christmas. I don’t know which charity to choose. My brother liked animals, cars and everything that a teenage boy would like. I tried the whole “name a star” thing, but found out it was mainly a scam. Does anyone have any ideas of a charity that I could donate to that would send a card or let me print a certificate when I donate so I have something to present. My top choices so far were the Make a Wish Foundation or the Humane Society of the United States.

How much do you pay a pastor or donate to the church when he/she performs a private memorial service?

My mother recently passed away. She was on hospice, so she was able to communicate some of her wishes beforehand. One of her wishes was for a memorial service, but she stated that she did not want the memorial service at church, which was a surprise to us. She said that it was important for her to have her beliefs expressed during the memorial though. Her pastor offered to help me with the memorial service, and I know some type of donation is customary, but I’m not sure how much I should budget for. Any guidance would be helpful.
The memorial will be at an gazebo in an outdoor garden near the Sacramento area, in case you had questions with geography and local custom.
Thank you.
