Chestnut Lodge Pet Crematorium
The Pet Crematorium started in a very small way in 1974 and since we took over in 1986 has grown to be one of the most respected in the country.
It is also known under the original name of The Cemetery and Crematorium for Domestic Pets.

Chestnut Lodge Pet Crematorium is one of the few pet crematoriums in the UK to carry out respectful individual and communal cremation services We ensure the same care and respect applies to each service. This applies whether you bring your pet to us or we collect from your home or vet.
The Cremation Carried Out The Way Your Expect
Misunderstanding, misrepresentation and outright fraud litter the history of pet cremation. This became clear to us when we first took over the pet crematorium.
If you want an individual cremation you most likely want your pet to be carefully handled and cremated on its own with all the ashes meticulously collected and returned to you. That is the way we have always worked and always will.
The main factor in the process is care. Care about the way we handle your pet; Care about the way we carry out the cremation; Care about the way we collect all the ashes after the cremation; Care about the way we present the ashes and Care about you.
At Chestnut Lodge Pet Crematorium we always work as if you are with us every step of the way

As Founder Members of The Association of Private Pet Cemeteries and Crematoria, you can be sure that we are bound by strict procedural requirements over any services described as cremations.
To give you the maximum confidence we have now been inspected and approved by an independent company to show that we describe everything that we do accurately and that our technical procedures match those descriptions and meet the high standards of the APPCC Code of Practice. The inspection not only verifies the accuracy of our descriptions and systems but also the quality of the services. Very few pet crematoriums are able to pass such a detailed inspection process.
