Whilst Cotswold Pet Cremation are not Pet Celebrants, we are able to guide pet owners in the direction of a local Pet Celebrant if needed.  A Pet Celebrant can provide valuable support for owners that are wanting to remember their beloved pet through a memorial or thanksgiving service celebrating the life of your special family pet, or when scattering or burying ashes.

Absolutely.  For complete reassurance, we welcome you to bring your special pet to us yourself when the sad time comes and your pet has been put to sleep or passed away.  This way, you can be reassured that you know exactly where your beloved pet is being looked after, and, also know and be part of the journey that brings them here.  As pet owners ourselves, these are the 2 things that we would need to know for peace of mind when dealing with losing our family friend.  Please phone to arrange an appointment.
