Dog Cremation & Memorial Services

Dogs are believed to be the first animal to be domesticated by man and have become our most loyal and trusted companions. Recent studies estimate that 24% of the UK adult population have a dog - which means there are nearly 9 million living with us!

When we lose our beloved pet dog, it can be heart-breaking. There is arguably no greater human-animal bond (cat and other pet owners may disagree) and there are many ways to commemorate your dog’s life and friendship.

Dog Cremation Services

At PCS we offer an individual dog cremation service for your beloved pet.

Individual cremations ensure that your dog is cremated alone within a clean, enclosed chamber. You are guaranteed that the ashes you receive or are placed into our memorial garden, will be all and only those of your beloved dog.

We undertake dog cremations with the utmost care and respect; always remembering that he or she was someone's beloved campanion.

Our Pet Remembrance Book

Our remembrance book is one way of giving your dog a loving tribute. You can add your own message to the many other remembrances.

We have many messages for pet dogs from loving owners and it is easy to see the amazing difference ‘man’s best friend’ has made to so many of our lives.

Dog Memorials

Memorialising your pet dog is something that some people will want to do while others may wish to simply cherish fond memories and have no desire for a physical reminder. As with the grieving process, this is unique to the individual pet owner.

We have a number of ways to memorialise your pet dog which are contained within the shop and services sections of this website.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is often difficult to process information at a time of grief and PCS are here to provide clear, expert advice about the cremation options available in your time of need. Please do not hesitate to contact us. Many people find themselves in this position for the first time or have only just become aware of pet cremation services.

Here are a few frequently asked questions and answers:

Can I arrange dog cremation through my vet?

Typically 'yes', most veterinary centres will have an arrangement with pet crematoria so that they can handle this for you.

I have a very big dog, will this be OK?

We have helped pet owners with most large breeds of dog so there will not be a problem. If you have concerns, please contact us.

What do I do if my dog dies at home?

Although your personal situation and beliefs may shape the end-of-life process for your pet, your two main options are burial and cremation. Discussing an end-of-life plan with your veterinary practice can be a good opportunity to understand your options and make decisions that might become more difficult with time. This also allows you time to ask any questions, sign consent forms and feel more confident and clearheaded in your decision-making.

Can I collect ashes from a communal cremation?

No, as members of the IAOPCC (International Association Of Pet Cemeteries & Crematories) we do not present ashes from any communal cremations due to the co-mingling of ashes within the chamber. The key reason is out of respect for other owners.

How does dog cremation work?

Please see our services section for more information on the process of our pet cremation and memorial services.
