Planning for your pet’s final journey is an act of love
At Petrest, we understand the deep bond you share with your pet. As pet owners ourselves, we are dedicated to providing compassionate support to others during one of life’s toughest moments.
What you need to know before choosing a pet cremation service
Facing the loss of a pet – even before it happens – can be an incredibly emotional experience.
Anticipatory grief is the deep sadness pet owners feel as they prepare for their pet’s passing. It’s completely natural, yet often overlooked. Many experience feelings of sorrow, anxiety, and even guilt in the time leading up to saying goodbye.
You are not alone.
What to expect when the time comes
Petrest is more than just a service; it’s a commitment to providing solace and support during a difficult time.
We recognise the importance of saying your final farewells to your pet in a calm and comfortable setting, so we can offer you the opportunity to be with your pet on the day of their cremation at our facilities, and provide support on their final journey.
Collection
We guarantee prompt collection for your pet, from your home or veterinary practice. Our specially designed vehicle ensures a respectful and compassionate collection, maintaining your pet’s dignity from the very start of the service.
Cremation
Your pet will be individually cremated, ensuring the utmost care and attention every step of the way. You have the option to attend their cremation service at our site, as well as the opportunity to take paw prints and fur clippings.
Coming home
We will return your pet’s ashes, inside your chosen urn or casket, to your home. We track each pet from point of collection to returning them home, providing peace of mind throughout the process.

“You’d be surprised how many people, in the spur of the moment, choose a communal cremation - only to realise too late that they won’t receive their pet’s ashes back. It’s heartbreaking, but planning ahead can prevent this."
Lauren Billman, Head of Petrest Services
Your pet is a cherished family member
Our pets are far more than just animals, they are beloved family members who bring unconditional love and joy into our lives.
Planning for their final journey is one of the most loving and responsible decisions you can make. With Petrest, you ensure they are treated with the dignity they deserve, and their ashes are returned to you as a meaningful tribute to their memory.
Individual care for your beloved pet
Many pet owners learn too late that group cremations don’t guarantee the return of their pet’s ashes. With Petrest’s premium individual cremation service, you can rest assured that your pet will be cremated individually, with their ashes handled and returned with respect and care.

Losing a pet is a very emotional time, and planning ahead allows you to focus on their life and on your grief. You can delegate the logistics to use during this difficult time.
