How it works
Once you have decided to have your pet cremated at Dignity you have several options on how to proceed. You can bring your pet to us directly, arrange to have them collected from your vets, or alternatively we can collect from your home. We normally require 24 hours notice for all options, and if you are planning to visit us please call to book an appointment beforehand.
You can then choose from a range of caskets, urns and memorials to remember your beloved pet. Each of these is priced individually. See the full range of pet caskets, keepsakes and memorials available from Dignity here.
So the total cost you will pay is: cremation cost + urn or casket cost + additional keepsakes & memorials + transport costs.
Please note we are able to offer a rehoming service for £20, excluding the price of the urn/casket of choice.

Pet cremation prices
Cremation prices are based on the type and size of pet, these are fixed for smaller pets but vary for dogs. We regularly cremate unusual and exotic pets, please get in touch for prices if your pet is not listed here. For our equine cremation prices, please visit Dignity Equine Cremations.
Unfortunately we have had to increase our cremation prices from 2nd January 2024 to reflect the well-publicised increase in energy prices and general inflation, which has had a significant impact on our industry. In line with one of our company values “we give our best to everyone” we have maintained our prices for as long as possible hoping the energy uplift would flatten out, but the continued increase means we can no longer sustain the rising costs to the business. We will still continue to sustain some of the uplift rather than pass this on to the families that use our service.

Dog prices
We determine the cost of cremation by the weight of your pet. The chart below covers mainly pure breeds as per The Kennel Club Breed Standards. If you are unsure or your dog is a mixture of two or more breeds then we can check their weight for you and advise you of the cost accordingly.
