Price Information


We try to keep our pricing structure as simple, competitive and fair as possible based on weight. The prices quotes are for individual cremation for pets brought to us during our normal opening times, with all ashes available to collect the next working day in a scatter tube.   We have a selection of alternative caskets on display in our meeting room which are available to purchase if you prefer.

Collection Charges


Mileage will usually be charged at £4 per mile, with a minimum charge of £20.

Where a two person collection is required this will carry an additional charge. Adverse travelling conditions such as weather, road closures or congestion will also be taken into consideration when calculating collection charges.

Collections can usually be made weekdays between 11am and 2pm.
Collections are made from the doorstep of your building. We do not enter homes or residential buildings without prior arrangement. Please ensure there is clear access from where our vehicle can be parked to where your pet is to be collected. Please also ensure that your pet is wrapped in an appropriately sized and clean blanket or towel. If you are unavailable or circumstances have changed when we arrive at the given address at the arranged time then we must still charge for that journey.


Payment Terms


We respectfully ask that all payment is made in full when you either bring your pet to us or when we collect your pet from your home. Payment is asked for in advance if we collect your pet from your Vet. These terms also apply for those arranging or bringing pets on behalf of friends or family. As a small family business we are unable to extend credit terms.


Payment may be made in person or by telephone by Debit Card or Cash. American Express, Corporate Card payments and cheques are not accepted.


Our liability is limited to the cost of the value of the individual product or service.
