Alternatively, you can bring your dog directly to us, and we will perform a same-day cremation service at no extra cost.

Attended Pet Cremation – This is optional and in addition to the cremation cost
For added peace of mind you can be present as your pet is gently placed into the chamber. This operates in combination with our Same Day Pet Cremation Service. You have the choice of saying goodbye to your pet in our Farewell Room before accompanying them to the cremation chamber. We will give you the choice of either watching as they are placed into the chamber or being present but without seeing them placed in. You can then either stay in the local area whilst your pet’s individual cremation takes place. We are able to provide you with an information pack on the local area if you wish to go for a walk along the river or have something to eat or drink in one of the local villages whilst we look after them for you. Once their ashes has been prepared you can return to take them home with you later the same day (normally within 2 to 3 hours). This service has limited availability and you would have to prearrange with the office prior to your appointment.
