A special way to remember them and their love of animals
To donate in memory and leave a gift to charity is a wonderful way to remember a loved one and support a cause that was special to them. By donating in memory to PDSA, you’ll make a lasting difference to people and pets in need, while celebrating the life of someone you love.
There are many ways to remember someone special with PDSA, from donating in memory and creating a tribute page, to requesting donations at their funeral instead of flowers.
Every tribute is an opportunity to honour someone in a way that feels personal, heartfelt, and meaningful. However you choose to remember them, your generosity and kindness will help the most vulnerable pets get the treatment they need, keeping people and pets together.
Each year, we treat over 400,000 pets across our Pet Hospitals. We treat more pets than all the other veterinary charities put together. It’s thanks to your kind support that we’re able to keep helping people and pets.

Every person is unique and their memorial service or funeral should reflect that. Thoughtful and personal details like making donations to a charity, like PDSA, rather than traditional flowers can transform a standard ceremony into something meaningful. It’s a way to give back to a cause that was close to their heart.
Asking for friends and families to donate to PDSA is a beautiful way to remember someone special and celebrate their love for animals. Once you donate in memory, you can set up a tribute page to honour their memory for years to come.
