Our small animal cremation service

At Stamford Pet & Equine Crematorium we are on hand to help when that sad time comes, and you have to say goodbye to your beloved pet. Whether you need us to visit your home or to collect your small animal from the veterinary practice, we aim to be with you promptly.

We transport your pet from your home and provide a caring, dignified cremation service for your small animal. We will notify you when your pet is ready to collect from our beautiful site, or alternatively we will hand deliver your pet’s ashes to you or your veterinary surgery.

Alternatively, owners may wish to bring and collect their pet directly from us, using our goodbye room to say farewells in privacy and allowing time to consider your choice of casket.
