Cremation & Aftercare
At this difficult time, we can take care of the arrangements you require.
If you would want your pet cremated, we can arrange a cremation that is tailored to meet your needs. Whether you decide on a communal pet cremation or individual pet cremation, REST and our dedicated partners will be able to look after you.
We can discuss all your aftercare needs, during your euthanasia phone consultation.
Pet Cremation Options:
Individual Pet Cremation (Ashes Returned)
In an individual cremation, your pet is cremated separately, ensuring that the ashes you receive are solely theirs. The ashes are then returned to you in a vessel of your choice, allowing you to keep a cherished memorial or scatter them in a meaningful place. This option is ideal for those who wish to maintain a personal connection to their pet's memory.
Communal Pet Cremation (No Ashes Returned)
In a communal cremation, your pet is cremated alongside other beloved animals, with their ashes respectfully scattered together. While you won’t receive your pet's individual ashes, this option provides a way to honor their memory in a shared and collective farewell. Communal cremations are often chosen for their simplicity and shared sense of connection.
Whichever option you choose, our goal is to provide a service that reflects the love and care you have for your companion, giving you peace of mind and a fitting tribute to their life.
