In times of grief, Rest Easy Friend offers more than just a memorial. It offers understanding, dignity and a lasting way to say: You were loved and you will be remembered.
Losing a pet leaves an ache that never truly fades. We created Rest Easy Friend as a calm, ad-free online space for pet memorials in Ireland , a peaceful home where you can celebrate your pet’s life and share lasting memories. Founded by Mick Hanly, a lifelong animal lover from Clonakilty, West Cork, Rest Easy Friend was inspired by the wish to create a simple, heartfelt RIP for pets website where every story is treated with love and respect. We’re a small, independent Irish team supported by one-time tribute plans. We never run ads or sell data, so the focus always stays on remembrance, connection and the bond you shared with your beloved pet.
