In 2021, Toby Tyler created The Charity Box after visiting families who had recently lost loved ones. Each family shared similar concerns: First, why couldn’t there be more than one guestbook, allowing every family member to look back on how their community came together on the toughest day of their lives? Second, why did the bereaved family have to bear the burden of organizing all the money collected and sending it out? After all the planning and emotional exhaustion that comes with arranging a funeral, why did that one detail have to linger?

The Charity Box was thoughtfully crafted to address these concerns with care, while also enhancing best practices within funeral homes. The Charity Box has revolutionized giving with personalized kiosks, designed with intention as a donation center and guest book for your funeral home or place of worship.

Following a service, each family member receives a digital guestbook in PDF form, preserving the memories of those who were there when it mattered most. Additionally, The Charity Box takes care of all the charitable contributions, ensuring that the deceased’s wishes are honored. Within a week of the service, families receive a detailed report of how much was given and to which charities, lifting a significant weight off their shoulders.
