At Central Pet Cremations your peace of mind and confidence is the most important thing to us and whichever option you choose we want you to know that your pet will carefully handled at all times and will be cremated on its own. A cremation certificate is completed at the time of cremation and you will receive this sealed in an envelope with your pet’s ashes which are carefully prepared and packaged

As a member of the Association of Private Pet Cemeteries and Crematoria we follow their APPCC Code of Practice – please see their website https://appcc.org.uk

Individual Cremations

An individual cremation involves your pet being respectfully placed in to a single chamber and cremated alone. Following the cremation ashes are carefully collected and prepared before the next cremation can commence. This ensures that the ashes you receive are entirely of your pet. We have a selection of hand picked caskets, urns and keepsakes for your pets ashes to be kept safely or different scattering options. Please check out our cremation costs page to see a variety of products and prices.

Same Day Services

Our same day service allows you to bring your pet to us in the morning and we guarantee you their individual cremation and ashes back that afternoon/early evening ready for collection. This does mean that we require as much notice as possible so that we can plan the diary accordingly, a minimum of 24 hour notice is what we ask for but we will always to our best to accommodate your needs. Please note there is an additional charge for this service of £50.

Collecting from your vet or home

If your veterinary practice doesn’t use our service and use another provider, that’s ok, you can explain your wishes to use us and we simply arrange to collect your pet on your behalf then we can return the ashes to your practise or if it suits better you can collect from us at the crematorium.

We can also arrange to collect your pet from your home. We will arrange to arrive at a time suitable in our home collection vehicle.

Please note depending on where your home or practice is situated will determine whether or not there is a transport charge and how much will vary depending on location, please call us and we can let you know.

* Our individual cremations come within the scope of the APPCC Code of Practice, under which we provide a respectful, dignified and caring service, and return the ashes to pet owners. If ordering through a veterinary surgery, please specify an individual cremation, as we also provide surgeries with a disposal service that is outside the scope of the Code.

Sometimes you change your mind or you have a family member who is moving away and wants to take a little ash with them in a keepsake product and this is where we can carefully transfer the ashes of your pet from your existing memorial product into another of your choice.

Simply call us to arrange to come and see us and choose a new product or alternatively give us a call and we can chat you through the option of posting the ashes to us where we can transfer and re-post back to you.

We would like to say thank you to David and Samantha for the wonderful service and compassion they gave us at such a difficult time after we lost our beautiful boy Bailey. You are both professional, caring and understanding and we truly are grateful. The micro photo frame we chose to have Bailey returned in is so beautiful and has “pride of place” in our home. Thanks again,

Lorraine, Tam and Kyle

We can't thank you enough for your help with our beautiful wee Charlie. Thank you for collecting him from the vets hospital when we couldn't. As always, the compassion shown at such a distressing time was amazing. Would always recommend you guys to anyone looking to have their pets last journey as one filled with kindness and dignity.

I sadly lost my best friend Rex at the age of 4 and a half years old. the team at central pet cremations ensured all my needs were met and helped me every step of the way. I cannot thank them enough for the amazing service. I was ensured Rex was going to be cared for during his short stay and was amazed at the compassion shown. I was unsure whether Rex could be cremated as he was a ferret and felt lost that I couldn’t keep my baby forever. I am forever grateful for the service and care given to both Rex and I
