Sadly, not all vets give you the option of choosing between different crematoriums. If your vet has suggested an alternative crematorium to Phoenix Pet Cremations please check whether they are an Association member as not all pet crematoriums operate to a code of conduct to ensure you get a genuine individual cremation and your own pets ashes back.
