Cremation is a compassionate, practical, and affordable way to honour a beloved pet, offering flexible options such as keeping the ashes close or taking them with you if you relocate. It provides a dignified alternative to burial, avoiding logistical and environmental concerns. 

In 2023, 95% of pet owners chose cremation, with burial accounting for just 5%, reflecting its growing popularity. 

Pet cremation also complies with local laws and council guidelines, which often restrict or regulate burials. 

For almost 30 years, Woodland has been trusted by veterinarians and pet owners for our respectful approach. Our caring team is here to guide you through the process, ensuring a thoughtful way to say goodbye, whether you keep the ashes, scatter them, or entrust us to care for them. 

Woodland offer cremation services for pets and farm animals of all sizes, including cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and other animals. If you have a larger or exotic pet, please contact us for specific accommodations.
