Services
The following cremation services are available direct to clients from all of the Pet Farewells locations.
Individual cremations involve the separation of each pet in the cremator. Our Hamilton pet cremator is a new 5-chambered machine in which the pet is placed in their own individual chamber. The Wellington cremator has one large chamber and each pet is placed on the hearth using a map drawn-up to show their exact physical placement. We guarantee the return of the correct cremains to the pet owner in all instances. All of the cremation services include the cost of engraving, a certificate, and a copy of the poem Forever Friend.
