Aftercare
If you do not wish to bury your pet at home then we are happy to assist with the organisation of cremation. We can help you decide on the different cremation options that are available as well as assist with transport arrangements.
Following your pets at home euthanasia, we will take care of transport arrangements through to the crematorium. We ensure that your pet is handled with care and respect throughout the entire process and will organise a timely and delicate return of their ashes.
We work closely with the cremation company, ‘Pets at Rest’ - they are a family owned and operated business who display a high level of care and are passionate about all that they do. Pets at Rest offer a number of different cremation options to suit everybody’s needs - we have listed their most commonly requested services below alongside corresponding prices.
