Body Aftercare

Private/individual cremation (ashes back)

When selecting a Pet crematorium to work with, Torridge Pet Cremation were the natural choice for Sunset Vet. They’re an independent, husband and wife small business with compassion, empathy, and integrity as their core values.

They offer a collection service where they come to your home and respectfully take your pet in a blanket and basket. They are currently very busy though and this may not be available at short notice. They are normally available to receive you if you are able to drive your pet to them. They aim to have ashes ready for pickup or delivery within 72 hours. I would be happy to facilitate contact with them.

Please visit their website at www.torridgepetcremation.co.uk for their updated price list. Here is a guide for you:

Dogs, Cats and Small Pets <5kg – £137
Small Dogs and Large Cats <10kg – £163
Medium Pets 10-20kg – £195
Dogs 20-30kg – £210
Large Dogs 30-40kg – £240
Large Dogs 40-50kg – £270
Giant Breed Dogs >50kg – £300

They are also able to provide a variety of tribute urns, caskets and scatter tubes for their ashes; as well as offering ink nose and paw prints and other memorials.

Communal/General cremation (no ashes back)
Unfortunately Torridge Pet Cremation do not offer communal cremation and I am unable to provide this service. If you require communal/general cremation, you will need to make your own arrangements with your primary Vet or direct with a crematorium that offers communal cremation.
