At RSPCA Little Valley, we understand that saying goodbye to a loved one, whether a person or a pet, can be one of life’s hardest moments. Finding a meaningful way to honour their memory can offer real comfort, and when that tribute also helps animals in need, it becomes something truly special.
In Memory Giving is a beautiful way to celebrate a life well lived. Whether you want to leave a simple dedication, set up a lasting tribute, or arrange a funeral collection in their honour, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
A Tribute That Gives Back
Gifts given in memory help us continue our vital work with Devon’s most vulnerable animals. Donations, no matter the size, help to fund our mission to provide food, veterinary care, and the love and time each animal needs to recover and find a second chance.
In Memory Giving is not just a donation, it is a celebration of someone’s values, their love for animals, and their lasting legacy of kindness.
Dedication Pages and Virtual Memory Gardens
Our Memory Gardens are peaceful, virtual spaces on our website where you can leave a free dedication in memory of a loved one or a beloved pet. These are not physical gardens, but beautifully curated online areas where tributes can be visited and shared any time.
You can upload a message, photo, or a few words that capture their spirit. Your dedication becomes part of a shared online garden, creating a lasting space of remembrance:
Our Beloved Animals Memory Garden honours pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge.
Our Family & Friends Memory Garden is dedicated to the people who brought love and light into our lives.
Whether you are marking a birthday, anniversary, or simply thinking of them, these dedications are always there to revisit and reflect on. They are completely free to create, and if you would like to include a small donation alongside your message, we would be truly grateful.
Tribute Pages and Funeral Collections
For a more personalised space, we have partnered with MuchLoved, the UK’s leading in-memory platform. Through this, you can create a dedicated Tribute Page to commemorate your loved one online.
Tribute pages can include messages, stories, photos, videos, and even music. You can light candles on special dates or invite others to share their memories too. These pages are easy to share by email or social media, allowing others to contribute or donate in memory.
You can also create a Funeral Notice Page, often used in lieu of flowers. These can include funeral details, collection options, and messages of condolence. Funeral Directors across Devon are familiar with the process and will be happy to help arrange a safe and secure collection in support of Little Valley.
A Gentle, Lasting Legacy
We know how hard it can be to find the right words when someone you love is gone. That’s why In Memory Giving is designed to offer comfort, connection and choice – whether you are remembering someone today, or planning for the future.
When you choose to honour someone through Little Valley, their legacy becomes part of something life-changing. Every tribute supports animals who are frightened, lost, abandoned or unwell, and gives them a second chance, in memory of someone who cared.
Their kindness lives on in every wagging tail, every rescued life, and every safe night’s sleep we can provide.
If you would like to find out more about setting up a tribute, visiting our memory gardens, or arranging a funeral collection, we’d be honoured to help.
