Your pet's final
resting place, with care and compassion

A family-run, independent pet crematorium offering a dignified, personal service dedicated to the loving memory of your pet.

Helping you say goodbye with love and respect since 1991

Paws to Rest, located at Nunclose, near Carlisle within the Eden Valley, was founded in 1991 by Nick Ricketts.  Recognising that our pets are part of the family, Nick felt the need to provide a dignified departure for the loved ones of bereaved pet owners at the time of their sad loss and therefore Paws to Rest was born.
