Private cremation
Your pet is cared for individually — only they are in the chamber, so the ashes you receive are theirs alone.
Saying goodbye is never easy. We care for your pet with the tenderness they deserve — and bring them home to you again, with their ashes and a keepsake to remember them by.
"They treated our old girl like one of their own. We'll never forget that kindness."
Your companion was family. We promise to care for them as if they were ours.
Whatever you need in this moment, we'll guide you through it calmly — no pressure, no rush.
Your pet is cared for individually — only they are in the chamber, so the ashes you receive are theirs alone.
A respectful, gentle option where pets rest together. A caring choice when ashes aren't being returned home.

Hand-finished urns, clay paw prints and fur keepsakes — small, lasting ways to keep them close.
Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and small pets — and horses and large animals, by gentle arrangement.
A kind voice whenever you need one, and gentle guidance on memorials, grief, and what comes next.
Call us any time, day or night. We'll listen, answer your questions, and take care of everything from here.

With a private cremation, your pet is never with another. The ashes you receive are truly your companion's.
Gentle, transparent costs explained up front — never any pressure, never any hidden extras.
Loss doesn't keep office hours. We answer the phone any hour, and we'll never make you wait alone.
We're Aucklanders caring for Aucklanders. Real people who answer, who remember, and who genuinely care.
"We can't take the sadness away — but we can make sure the goodbye is gentle, honest, and full of dignity."

From the first phone call, I felt looked after. They came to our home for our old boy Toby, were so gentle, and brought him back to us with a paw print I'll treasure forever.
Losing Miso was awful, but they made the goodbye feel peaceful. Honest about costs, no pressure, and so kind on the phone at 11pm when I really needed it.
They treated our girl with such dignity. The ashes came home in a beautiful little urn with a certificate. I can't thank them enough for their care.
With a private (individual) cremation, your pet is the only one in the chamber, so the ashes returned to you are theirs alone. A communal cremation is a gentle, lower-cost option where pets are cremated together and ashes aren't returned. We'll help you choose what feels right.
Yes. With a private cremation your companion is never placed with another pet, and we return as much of their ashes as can be gently recovered, with a certificate of care. This is the heart of our promise to you.
Of course. We come to your home or your vet anywhere across Auckland, gently and discreetly, so you don't have to travel. Home collection is included with individual cremation in most areas.
Usually within a few days. We never rush this — your pet is cared for properly — but we also know you're waiting, so we keep you gently informed and return their ashes as soon as they're ready.
Individual cremation starts from $295 and is priced gently by your pet's size (see our pricing above), with keepsakes from $45. We explain everything clearly before anything happens — no hidden costs, no pressure, ever.
We do. Horses and large animals are cared for with the same dignity as any companion — please call us and we'll arrange everything gently with you.
