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.

This was the second time we had need to use Chestnut Lodges for a pet cremation, this time for our much loved cat Olivia when she passed away unexpectedly. We received a thoroughly professional and respectful service, my calls and emails were dealt with with such empathy and compassion, I was given accurate information on the various options available, and it really felt like the staff really understood exactly how awful it is to lose a much loved pet, they were so kind and helpful at a time when I was feeling very distressed and barely able to hold a conversation without bursting into tears. They arranged the collection from the vets practice and the ashes and paw print casts were delivered back to us very quickly and with great dignity, in a carefully packaged and nicely presented box. I can absolutely recommend Chestnut Lodge for anyone dealing with the sad loss of a pet.
Kind, compassionate yet efficient
Left feeling my Poppy dog had been handled with the utmost respect and dignity
Thank you
Thoroughly professional from start to finish, Kim is an asset to your company.
