Price Information


We try to keep our pricing structure as simple, competitive and fair as possible based on animal 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.

For hygiene and dignity for your pet, please bring them wrapped in a clean blanket or towel.


Any items you wish to be cremated with your pet such as toys, blankets will count towards weight. We cannot cremate external metal items such as chains or collars. Padded baskets cannot be cremated as they create a high volume of dust and contain chemicals which can make our working environment hazardous.


It would help very much if you know the weight of your pet. If you are unsure of you pet's weight we are happy to estimate and adjust charges once ashes are collected.


Our cremation price includes individual cremation and availability of entire ashes in a scatter tube, which will be available to collect from our premises by appointment from the next working day.

Surcharges


Out of Hours £25 - £50:
£25 applies 5-6pm weekdays and noon-2pm on Saturdays.
£50 applies Bank Holidays and Sundays, weekdays after 6pm and Saturdays after 2pm.

To protect our family time, out of hours appointments are for emergencies only.

If emergency appointments on special days (such as after noon on Christmas Eve, or on Boxing Day) are agreed then additional charges will apply.


Same day ashes collection £25:

This service is available by prior arrangement. To guarantee same day service your pet would need to arrive no later than 9.30am. This service is not available on Saturdays due to the shorter working day.


Witnessed Cremations £25: By prior arrangement it is occasionally possible to witness the start of your pet's cremation. It is important that your pet comes to us as early as possible during the morning.


Insurance Claims or Paperwork Requests £10: The paperwork we provide as standard will enable you to make your insurance claim. We always charge a token fee for additional paperwork required, the completion of insurance forms, or written statements to insurance companies.


Disposal of Beds or Baskets £5: We charge a token disposal fee of £5 to cover disposal of non crematable items such as padded or plastic beds.


Special Requests: As a small business we are able to be flexible to accommodate requests. Any costs incurred will be discussed with the customer.


Holiday Cover: During our family holidays our cremations are operated by our local Animals at Home franchise. There will be differences in prices, which you will be informed of by Animals at Home at the time of booking.



Collection Charges


There is a minimum charge for collection of £15. Mileage will be charged at £4 per mile and our collection radius is approximately 30 minutes from our premises. Where a two person collection is required this will carry an additional charge of £20.
Collections can usually be made weekdays between 11am and 2pm. Weekend collections, if available, will incur additional charges.
If no one is available when we arrive at the given address at the arranged time then we must still charge for that journey.

When booking a collection we will ask for the postcode of your collection address so that we can calculate the cost at the time of booking. Adverse travelling conditions such as weather, road closures or congestion will also be taken into consideration.
Collections are made from the doorstep of your building. 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.


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.
