I can't believe that there are people actually telling you to disrespect the wishes of your uncle and his immediate family. Flowers are a nice gesture, but obviously he felt that this organization does some good in the world. Whether anyone of us personally believe as JW's do is of no consequence.
I *think* that the Watchtower has a website. You could start there. Or if you know which church your uncle attended, you could give them a call and ask how to make the donation.
I'm very sorry for your loss.

Just go to any local Kingdom Hall and they have donation boxes there. No need to waste money on flowers that are of no use. The money will go to printing Bibles and so on that the witnesses give out to people for free. I thought flowers were suppose to be free as well... Hmm

Have a look at the back of the Watchtower magazine, I'm sure there will be information on there. Nice to see someone respecting the last wish of someone who has passed away.
Good luck

Well your best bet would be to ask whoever is handling his services for specific details. Most likely the obit lists what he prefers you write on the check.

My fiance' (who used to be a Witness) said to just find a Kingdom Hall (the name for their church) and tell one of them of your uncle's request.

Any branch office of Jehovah's Witnesses can accept a check or money order made payable to "WATCH TOWER".
