Cremation services
Individual cremation with ashes returned
Your pet will be cremated individually, giving you peace of mind that the ashes returned to you are solely those of your beloved companion.
Your pet’s ashes will be returned in your choice of a bronze-shaded biodegradable urn, wooden casket or scatter tube, included as standard. Their resting place will be carefully wrapped in tissue paper and presented in discreet packaging, accompanied by a spray of flowers.
An engraved nameplate and a cremation certificate recording the month and year of cremation are also included.
We offer a wider selection of caskets, urns and memorials at an additional cost. Please contact our caring team to discuss the options and prices.
Individual cremation with ashes scattered
Your pet will be cremated individually, and their ashes will be scattered in our peaceful Garden of Remembrance. If you wish, you are welcome to scatter your pet’s ashes yourself as a personal farewell.
Cremation with other pets
For owners who prefer an alternative to individual cremation, we offer a communal cremation service, where your pet will be cremated alongside other pets. Ashes are not returned to you but are respectfully buried within our grounds, overlooking the Pennines.
Burial services
Our Nature Cemetery offers a permanent, quiet, and dignified resting place, with our well-tended gardens offering a haven for you and your pet.
All burial services include a basic coffin and small approved headstone or shrub or tree in accordance with the burial grounds being designated as a ‘nature’ cemetery. A range of coffins are available upon request, price on application.
An annual maintenance fee is applicable for your plot, payable at the beginning of each year following the burial.
With prior notice, Paws to Rest are more than happy for bereaved owners to return to their pets grave as many times as they wish.
Other services
Same day cremation service*
Your pet will be cremated with ashes returned on the same day. If you bring your pet to us and care to wait, our Garden of Remembrance offers a tranquil setting whilst your beloved pet completes their final journey.
If you prefer, your pet can be collected from your home or vet, and ashes return the same day.
Euthanasia in our Orchard Room
Working alongside a qualified veterinary surgeon, we offer a gentle and compassionate on-site euthanasia service, allowing you to say goodbye to your beloved pet in peaceful surroundings.
Please contact our caring team to discuss your wishes and the arrangements.
Caskets, urns, and memorials
At Paws to Rest, we offer a wide range of memorials to help you honour your beloved pet in a way that feels personal to you.
For your garden, options include memorial trees and plaques, creating a special place to pause and remember. For your home, we offer traditional urns and caskets alongside pet-shaped urns and photograph frames that discreetly hold your pet’s ashes.
Our caring team will be happy to guide you through the options and help you choose a fitting tribute.
Viewings
For your peace of mind, you are welcome to view any part of your pet’s cremation process. Please let our team know in advance so we can make the arrangements and support you throughout your visit.
We are also here to answer any questions you may have and explain each step with care and understanding.
Pet Exhumation
Choosing a resting place for your beloved pet is a deeply personal decision. A garden burial may feel right at the time, but circumstances can change, particularly if you later move home.
We offer a post-exhumation service for owners who wish to make new arrangements for their pet’s remains. Please contact our caring team to discuss your circumstances and the options available.
