Personalising your pet's cremation
We are here to help
It is very important to us that you know that whatever option you choose, your pet is carefully handled at all times and will be cremated individually. An ashes certificate is sealed in with your pet’s ashes and an In Memoriam card is given back to you from us.
We have a variety of options for you to choose from and can help personalise our service to suit your needs. Once you have decided what you would like for your pet’s ashes you can phone us to talk through everything. We can then arrange the return of your pet’s ashes to you. Alternatively, you can use the above forms if you can’t get through to us on the phone or are struggling to talk to someone.
Pre-cremation wishes
We offer a number of pre-cremation wishes to help you remember your pet in the future. If you would like any more information about these options please get in touch.
Fur clippings are available free of charge. If you would like us to take a fur clipping please mention this to our team when you choose your pre-cremation options. You can choose to have multiple fur clippings if you like and you can request clippings from a particular area.

Whether your vet offers you Dignity or not, arranging your pet’s cremation service is really simple. You can contact us before the final day or after your pet has passed away. Use the menu on the left to find out more about the different pet cremation services we offer, or call us on 01252 844572. You can also use our online enquiry form to provide your pet’s details and we will call you to make the final arrangements.
Once your pet is here and we have permission to proceed, we aim to carry out the cremation within 2 working days. Following the cremation, your pet’s ashes will be returned/collected on or after 7 working days. If you would like your pet’s ashes back quicker, we do offer a same day or an attended same day service.
We only carry out genuine individual cremations and do not take part in mass incineration or the disposal of clinical waste.
