A new funding scheme could see local charities, groups and good causes in Cambridgeshire get £1,250 for their community projects.
The East of England Co-op Funeral Services launched the Community Giving scheme with the opportunity for local campaigns to be shortlisted for £1,250, £750 or £500.
Emma Grimmer, from the Co-op funeral services, said: "Every three months, the scheme provides those who have used our funeral services, at Ely, Sawston and Histon Road, Cambridge, to vote for one of three good causes to receive a share of £2,500 in memory of their loved one.
"Forming a part of our ongoing support for families following the funeral, the scheme also enables us to extend our support to those who provide valuable services for our local communities."
