tooties Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Not sure if this has been posted about before, but we lost our beautiful cat Alfie on Monday to a car accident. We were told about this place called Dignity that cremate pets - we used them yesterday. They are based in the South East. I cannot recommend them enough. We had Alfie cremated while we waited, and chose an urn that looks more like an ornament - a carved wooden sleeping cat. Underneath is a name plate which you can have engraved with whatever you want. Its a family run business that opened after the owners watched a tv documentary about cremations that are arranged by vets..... Worth planning ahead if you've never thought about how you will deal with the sad loss of your much loved pet. If I'd known this place existed I would have used them 4 yrs ago when I had to have my beloved cat Cuddles put to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 So sorry to hear about Alfie. I've never used a pet crematorium, and don't think I would use one, but it's useful for people to know about when the occcasion arises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks for this I think it's a beautiful idea. When our previous cats Holly & Orchid died, we buried them. We are now going to be moving sometime next year & they will be left behind. I think what you have done is much better & I would have loved to have been able to take my Holly & Orchid with me. Sorry about your sad loss. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBevBen Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 So very sorry about your loss. I had my last doggy Hobi cremated, our vet at the time arranged everything and he came back in a lovely wooden box, that looks like a nice jewellery box. I've since moved several times, but he's always with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm So sorry for your loss. When our cat died we got him Cremated at a Pet Cemetery in Holywell. They are a great place.They even do bereavement counselling.I know it sounds morbid but my mum's thinking of getting a pre-payment plan with them. http://www.petfuneralservices.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I've used Rossendale pet cemetry far too many times. They have a different price structures and you can have rose bushes in their garden, or caskets etc etc. http://www.rossendalepetcrem.co.uk/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
