A gift in your Will is a meaningful way to support Cranford Hospice and help ensure specialist palliative care remains available for future generations across Hawke’s Bay.
Gifts in Wills
After taking care of your loved ones, you may wish to leave a gift that provides comfort, dignity, and compassionate care to local patients and whānau when they need it most.
A lasting legacy that reflects your values and helps provide compassionate care for generations to come.
Whether large or small, every gift helps keep hospice care free for Hawke’s Bay families, now and into the future.

Free of all duties and testamentary expenses for its general purposes, and I direct that the receipt of that organisation shall be sufficient discharge to my executors for this bequest.
