Pricing explained

It can be hard to imagine a life without your best friend by your side. However, it’s a sad fact of life that we pet owners often outlive our furry friends. For many of us, there comes a time where we can see the final farewell in the not-so-distant future as our pets become sick or simply too old to continue.

Putting time and thought into your pet’s memorial is a great way to honour your pet’s life. Carefully consider each part of your pet’s passing with your family and close friends. This will let you start getting used to the idea of life without your loyal companion and will also offer great relief when the time comes.

Planning Ahead

Make preparations now so when the time comes, you can rest easy in the knowledge that the hardest decisions are behind you.
