Respectful Individual Pet Cremation
The Individual Pet Cremation service at Chestnut Lodge Pet Crematorium and Pet Cemetery is carried out to standards that are second to none.
Your pet will be handled with care and respect from beginning to end (including collection either from your home or your vet). It will be just your pet in the cremation chamber and we will meticulously sweep out all the ash after the cremation has finished. This care in preserving all the ash is carried through all the preparation. You then have the choice of how you would like the ashes presented or to have them scattered or buried at Chestnut Lodge Pet Cemetery.
You may attend the cremation if you wish and see any part of the process. We work the same way whether you are with us or not and we guarantee never to betray the trust you place in us.

Respectful Formal and Green Burial
The Pet Cemetery was established in an area of ancient woodland in 1969. We have designed several options for you to have your pet buried within the Cemetery grounds.
You may choose a formal burial within a coffin in a plot marked by a headstone, plaque or full grave surround.
If you prefer a simpler burial then you may choose a green burial. Here your pet is wrapped in a shroud and buried in a plot marked by a shrub and a small tree stake plot marker. The green area will eventually form part of the woodland. There are formal or green plots for the burial of ashes or they may be scattered over the grounds of the Pet Cemetery.
You may visit your plot at any time. There is a small annual maintenance fee payable. This ensures the continuation of the Cemetery into the future.
Respectful Communal Pet Cremation
The Communal Pet Cremation Service is a dignified alternative to the Individual Cremation. Many of you do not want to have the ashes of your pet returned and, perhaps, do not want to think about what will happen to them. The Communal Pet Cremation Service gives your pet the courtesy of careful and respectful handling and an undisturbed final resting place. This sets it apart from other services that may bear the same name.
The handling of your pet is the same as the individual service. The only difference is that pets are cremated side by side and all the ashes placed into a grave in the Pet Cemetery here at Chestnut Lodge which you are welcome to come and see.

How very fortunate we were to find and choose Chestnut Lodge Pet Crematorium whilst seeking a same-day solution after we had to have our terminally-ill cat, Cato, urgently sent to sleep at home. We delivered our beautiful boy's euthanized body here, at this peaceful, wooded site. Nothing flashy or intimidating here. Just a simple reception hut in which to check in and discuss our requirements with the lovely Kim. We were given as long as we needed with Cato in a private viewing room. We were totally at ease with leaving him in Chestnut Lodge's care while they prepared our chosen commemorative items (of which there is a wide range) and Cato for cremation. We opted to attend the start of the individual cremation 2 days later, which again gave us as long as we wanted to bid our buddy a final farewell. Kim and Zoe went out of their way to hunt down (and find!) his mislaid toy so that it could be placed in his paws 'for the journey'. They allowed plenty of time to commiserate and watch an amusing video of him. We got a real sense of genuine compassion and understanding. When we returned a few hours later to collect Cato's ashes, they and the other keepsakes were so beautifully presented; it showed a lot of thought, care and effort has been put into their service. We highly recommend this superb family business. Tracey and Alan.
