Peaceways Pet Crematorium

Helping you say goodbye to your pet with care and compassion.

England's first pet crematorium

Peaceways is England’s first pet crematorium, established in 1964 by Miss Raymonde-Hawkins, MBE, Founder of Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare, a short distance away. Since then, it has helped many people navigate the difficult journey of what to do when a pet dies and how best to remember them.

Peaceways provides a caring, sensitive and personal service to help you to say goodbye to your beloved animal companion. Set in beautiful woodland surroundings near Ringmer in East Sussex, Peaceways is a haven of calm, giving you the choice and time to say your final farewells. And, when the time is right, it also offers you the opportunity to return to reflect and commemorate the memory of your pet in the tranquil Rose Garden of Remembrance.

Peaceways services

There is a choice of private cremation – your pet’s ashes will be ready for collection after a few days. Alternatively, we offer a communal cremation where the ashes are scattered in the grounds at Peaceways.

A wide range of urns, caskets and keepsakes are available to help you cherish the memory of your animal forever. Prices range from £22 and we can help guide you through your choices.

Opening hours

Peaceways is open 7 days a week from 9am to 3.30pm - excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

By appointment only please.

Part of and supporting the work of Raystede

We rely on your donations to help animals like Topsy.

When Topsy arrived with us, he was severely underweight and needed a lot of care. We couldn't help the amount of animals we do without your support. Please donate to help more animals get the care they deserve.
