Our beloved pets leave pawprints on our hearts and deserve a beautiful farewell.
How you say goodbye is up to you; a meaningful ritual can help process the feelings of loss.
Some people will have an informal private farewell at home - such as burying a small pet in the garden.
Others will entrust their vet to cremate their pet, and then return their ashes to them to keep.
There's now also the option to have your pet cremated locally, at the 'Treasured Memories' chapel at Grimsby Crematorium. You may spend time privately reflecting in chapel, have family say a few words, or even have a celebrant-led service, just as you would for a human. Details for contacting bereavement services to enquire about the chapel (but not about recommending or booking celebrants) can be found here: www.nelincs.gov.uk/births-marriages-and-deaths/bereavement-services/crematorium/
I'm honoured to be able to create services for pets - they are beloved family members too.
Whether you'd like a funeral in chapel, or a memorial at a time and place of your choosing, I'd be happy to help if I can. I studied pet bereavement as part of my diploma, and am an animal lover myself (cat lady is a bit of an understatement!).
If you'd like to lead a little service yourself, I can also assist you in writing and structuring it.
Get in touch to chat about what you'd like, and I'll give you a quote, without obligation.
It'll be between £50-200 depending on how simple or elaborate your requirements, and the time it will take to create for you. There's no set format - it's unique to you. Bookings are made direct, not via the chapel or a funeral director.
10% of my fee goes to the year's nominated local pet charity (unless you specify another one).
For April 2021 - March 2022, I'll be supporting North East Lincs Animal Rescue.
