hi we just lost our gus 8 years old , has we live in a flat we where worried about burying our little friend as they was no garden plus we are moving , and didnot want to dispose of him anywhere ,
it was the stepdaughter who came up with the idea cremation , me and the wife thought perfect at least we can take our friend with us when we move we thought pet cemetery and cremating our pet was out of our reach , but low and behold i phoned a company what deal in burying pets said £45 , i was amazed this family run company where excellent give our gus so much respect picked him up and returned his ashes in a blue velvet bag within a special box also a card i could not of asked for more our little friend got the respect what we owed him for all the lov and friendship he gave us over 8 years we miss him so much that we still say night night to him ie his ashes ,.
so anybody in northeast of england want the name of company please ask as i

yes it was devastating that we lost him we loved him to bits , and did,nt feel right disposing of his body as we are moving and always wanted to take him with us plus we live in a flat , and most of all he was special when we move he will hav his own plot god bless him .
 
I am sorry you lost your piggy - my friend had her dog cremated as he had been with her longer than her husband and 14 year old daughter - she takes his ashes with her when she comes down to stay at her holiday house near me. xx

All vet surgeries will be in contact with a pet crematorium.

The pet crematorium will collect bodies from the vet surgery, and take them for cremation; they aren't always local.

A routine cremation is where the ashes are scattered at the pet crematoriums garden of remembrance, or you can have a cremation with return of ashes, either in a scatter box to scatter somewhere of your choice, or in a casket or urn for you to keep.
 
I think it's wonderful that you'll always have little Gus with you x)
RIP Gus so loved by your whole family XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
We had our 2 girls cremated together when they died one day after the other, (they were mum and daughter) it was the best option for us as we were soon to be moving house and wanted them with us, i think we paid about £50 for the cremation and an extra £15-20ish for a wooden casket and a name plaque which reads, Honey & Millie, always in our hearts x. I was the last money we'd ever be spending on them so the price was errelevant and it means they will always be with us wherever we go. They are currently on the wooden beam in the roof of our bedroom, but i have been thinking of burying the casket in a plant pot with a bush/shrub of some description and stones with their names on, which again can always come with us.

So sorry to hear about your poor Gus, you did him proud. Sleep tight Gus x
 
Sorry for your loss guys. Its always sad when one of wigglies go.
Thank you for the infomation though hun. Me and the boys will be moving home probably next year and so its not something i will need to know right now but defo for the far future.
 
Two of my oldest piggies died close together(they were always together in life),so we buried them under the climbing rose by the gate. This year the rose is wonderful ,the best it has ever been,so I say it is the piggies thankyou to me for looking after them. If annyone remembers them they were my very first piggies ,Miss Piggie and Snuggles.Every time I look out of the window and see the rose I think of them.
 
I'm really sorry.

We live in a flat and I have had all of my rainbow bridge baies cremated with the ashes come back to us in a little box including my mice and hamsters. This is arranged through our local vets.
