Treating pets with dignity and respect at all stages of their life, especially the difficult times by providing caring individual cremations.
(1682)
Dignity Pet Crematorium was started in 1992 by Barry & Carole Spurgeon. Our aim is to make the passing of a much loved pet easier to cope with through our caring and respectful individual pet cremation service. We are very different to the weekly pet cremation services often offered through veterinary surgeries and try to give each pet the send off that they deserve.

Every Spring, the bluebells return to our woodland. Quietly, reliably โ just as they always have. If you're carrying grief this spring, we hope you find moments like this one: still, gentle, and full of something that feels a little like hope. ๐

There's a question we hear from pet owners more than almost any other.
"How do I make sure they're looked after the way they deserve โ without it all falling to me in the worst possible moment?"
That's exactly why we created our Pre-payment Plan.
You choose the service. You choose the keepsakes. You set the monthly amount that works for you โ and you can change it or close the plan entirely whenever you need to. No penalties. No pressure. Ever.
Planning ahead isn't about expecting the worst. It's about giving yourself the space to make thoughtful, loving choices โ before grief makes everything harder.
Swipe through to find out more, and follow the link when you're ready. ๐
It's not just the cuddles you miss. It's the ones you were looking forward to. The walks you had planned. The years you'd imagined together. Losing a pet is losing a future as much as a past โ and that kind of grief deserves to be felt, and to be honoured. We're here whenever you need us. ๐

Every year we ask the families and vet professionals who've been part of the Dignity journey to take a few moments to share their honest feedback with us. It's one of the most important things we do โ because listening is how we keep getting better, for every pet and every person we care for.
This year's survey draw winners are Evie from The Barn Animal Practice, and Tracy โ one of our wonderful clients. We were so pleased to be able to pop a hamper their way as a small thank you.
To everyone who completed a survey: it genuinely means a great deal. Your voices shape everything we do. ๐

There's something about Ollie that just knows when a space needs a little more peace in it.
He has been making his rounds again โ and today, he decided the Homecoming Building was exactly where he needed to be. We think he might be right.
If you've ever visited us and been greeted by a sleepy ginger face, you'll know there's nothing quite like it. ๐

Some words stay with you.
This week, we received a review from someone who came to us after losing Spud โ her heart dog, her best friend, her soul mate. She wanted to share her experience, and we wanted to make sure her words were heard.
"At no time have I been given the feeling that this is a business, or a place where you are pushed into making decisions... It is very obvious they do everything they can to make something as perfect as they can for you."
Being trusted with Spud is exactly why every person at Dignity does what they do. From the moment a pet comes into our care to the day a family collects their mementos, we want every step to feel considered, unhurried, and worthy of the bond they shared.
Spud sounds like he was everything. And he was so loved. ๐พ ๐
If you'd like to share your own experience of Dignity's care, you can leave a review via the link in our bio โ your words help other families find the courage to reach out when they need us most.

Dignity Pet Crematorium was started in 1992 by my parents, Barry & Carole Spurgeon. Our aim is to make the passing of a much loved pet easier to cope with through our caring and respectful individual pet cremation service. We are very different to the weekly pet cremation services often offered through veterinary surgeries and promise to give each pet the loving send off that they deserve.
Iโve explained a bit more about us below. For more information just visit our main website www.dignitypetcrem.co.uk or call us on 01252 844572 to talk through your wishes. We also have a Live Chat feature on our website or you can send us a message via Facebook if you are finding it too difficult to speak to someone over the phone.

Our service is simple. We will look after your pet, however large or small, on their own and you will receive only their ashes back after a genuine individual cremation or you can choose to have them scattered in our beautiful gardens alongside both other pets and their human guardians.
You can choose to personalise their send off however you want. More and more people are choosing to bring their pet to us for a Same Day or Attended cremation service, where you can say a last goodbye before waiting in our gardens or the local area before returning home with their ashes later the same day. Alternatively we can collect your pet from your home or vet in one of our pet hearses. Either way they will be looked after by us with the respect they deserve.
Please take time to read our reviews both on Facebook and on the review site Freeindex. We hope that these reviews by โrealโ people will give you complete peace of mind about how we will care for your pet. If you can it is far better to plan ahead as you can be swept along by events and may be rushed into making a hasty decision. Doing your research before the final day will give you a better understanding of the less scrupulous practices and lead you to make an informed decision that is the right one for you.
Losing a pet is devastating (to put it mildly) and we are also there to help you cope with your loss. We can be there for you as a shoulder to lean on and have access to fully trained pet bereavement counsellors to help you in your grief.
