By creating a Lasting Tribute in memory of your loved one, you can share memories, photos and stories with friends and family, while raising money to support Raystede in their honour.
A Lasting Tribute is a place online where you, your family and friends can remember your loved one, and help animals in need by raising money for Raystede. Many people find creating a lasting tribute, a comforting way to remember and celebrate their loved one’s life, sharing thoughts, photos and memories for many years to come.
We work in partnership MuchLoved, the UK's leading online tribute charity, to provide a free tribute service where you can remember someone special, and fundraise in their memory.
You can create a special, personalised tribute page for your loved one, where you can share memories, photos, stories, music and videos to celebrate their life, as well as donate to our work in their honour.
Discover the wonderful people we are remembering every day by visiting our Raystede Tribute Garden. All our Lasting Tributes can be found here.
