Final Moments
From experience, I know that these final moments with your pet will stay with you for a long time, possibly forever. You deserve the opportunity to say goodbye in your own way.
I will wait outside your home to give you privacy and time to be alone with your pet, ensuring a peaceful and undisturbed farewell.

Home Burial
Please refer to DEFRA guidance for legal requirements: DEFRA Animal Burials Guidance
Communal Cremation
Your pet will be taken to a trusted local crematorium. Ashes are not returned, but a certificate of cremation is available upon request.
Individual Cremation
Your pet will be cremated individually. Ashes are returned to you, typically in a scatter tube.
With over 15 years of experience in small animal practice, including five years as a mobile veterinarian, I have built strong relationships with reputable local pet crematoriums. I am equipped with a comfortable, secure van and soft blankets to transport your pet respectfully. This transfer service is included at no additional cost, provided it is agreed upon and scheduled in advance.
