Our trusted crematorium Silvermere Heaven offers the opportunity to see your beloved pet one last time and attend the cremation.

Important to know:
- Attending the crematorium comes with a fee to be discussed directly with the crematorium that was not included in our invoice.

- You need to notify us as soon as possible after the consultation, ideally during the consultation, so that we can organise your attendance.

- Unfortunately, once the pet has left our cold chamber, we can try contacting the crematorium immediately, but your pet might have been cremated already... For this reason, it is paramount that you let us know at an early stage about your wishes.

After the end-of-life consultation, your beloved pet's ashes will be returned directly to your doorstep.

The delay is between 10 days to 3 weeks.

If the ashes were to take longer for reasons beyond our control, we apologise in advance for the inconvenience. Please know we are trying to have the ashes back with you as soon as possible.
