Small pets

Small pet cremation

Small pets are family too. We provide individual cremation for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, rats, mice, birds, reptiles, and other much-loved companions at our crematorium in Newport, Shropshire.

The same care, whatever their size

It can feel harder to know what to do when you lose a smaller pet, especially when most cremation information seems to talk about cats and dogs. You can call us on 01952 374 001, and we will talk through the same practical choices with you: where your pet is, whether collection would help, and how you would like them returned to you.

You can bring your pet to us in Newport, Shropshire, by appointment, or ask us about collection from your home or vet.

Small pet cremation starts from £120

Our small pet prices are based on weight. The first small pet band covers pets up to 1.9kg, with higher bands for larger small pets. Many hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, mice, small birds, and some rabbits fall into the first band.

Every individual cremation includes a scatter tube and a certificate of cremation, with a paw print and fur clipping where possible. You can see the current small pet bands on our pricing page.

What happens next

You do not need to have everything worked out before you call. If you can tell us what kind of pet you have and where they are, we will guide you through the next step.

Your pet is cremated individually at our own facility, never alongside other pets, and returned to you in a scatter tube as standard. You can choose a different memorial option if you would prefer.
