Peaceways pet crematorium, England's first animal crematorium, provides a caring, sensitive and personal service. Set in beautiful surroundings near Lewes in East Sussex, Peaceways is a haven of calm, giving you the time to reflect in the Garden of Remembrance and share memories.
The beauty of Peaceways owes much to its manager, Jeff Tucker, who as well as putting all your arrangements in place, has made the Garden of Remembrance his labour of love.
In the early days the charity was based in her cottage and back garden. But right from the start she pledged to provide facilities that were equal to or better than existing animal rescue centres.
Fast forward six decades and the vision behind Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare remains as strong and impassioned as it did when Miss Raymonde-Hawkins began her campaign to give unwanted and abandoned animals a better life. Today the site has expanded across 43 acres where we care for over 2,000 animals a year, rehoming over 1,000 animals and providing sanctuary to even more. We are one of the most diverse rescue centres in the UK because we care for so many different species of animals.
