Gifts In Memory

We’re always grateful for funeral collections or refer gifts to our charity. By providing veterinary care, food, shelter, and enrichment to our dogs and cats you’re not only helping us in our cause, you’re leaving a legacy of love for that special person in your life.

If you would like further advice on making a funeral donation, please contact our Fundraising Team at fundraising@edch.org.uk.

We have two special memory tree sculptures here at the Home. These celebrate the dogs and cats that have touched our lives in their own special way. Whether a visitor to the Home has lost a pet, or sadly had to surrender them, we’ve found our memory trees are a moving way to say goodbye and yet remember them always.

We opened Leo’s Garden in 2019 – a reflection garden which offers a private space to the public so they can remember the good times they shared with their beloved pet. Set within the grounds are our two beautifully crafted memory trees where patrons can dedicate a leaf in memory of their pet.

Our two hand-sculpted memory trees were funded by the Tesco Bags of Help initiative and both have 115 leaves for the names of pets who have sadly passed. The leaf you purchase will hold your loved one’s name for one year, which can be reviewed and renewed every 12 months. These funds go straight to fulfilling our mission of helping our community’s pets and people thrive together.
