The cremation companies are caring and compassionate at all times, treating families and their pets with the upmost respect. They are honest and transparent in their processes and are happy to host you for a tour of their facility or organise pre-cremation viewings if required.
We’re honoured to work alongside Celestials Pet Cremation Service, whose team share the same compassion, and care, that guide our own work. From the moment of collection through to the return of ashes, Celestials provide gentle, respectful aftercare that gives families true peace of mind.
