FAQ

What are the different types of pet cremation services you offer?

We offer two types of pet cremation services: communal cremation and individual cremation. Communal cremation involves multiple pets being cremated together, with their ashes scattered in our memorial garden. Individual cremation ensures that your pet is cremated alone, with their ashes returned to you in an urn of your choice.

Can I witness the cremation process or visit the crematory?

Unfortunately, for safety and privacy reasons, we do not allow pet owners to witness the cremation process or visit the crematory. However, we do offer virtual viewings of our facilities upon request.

Can you provide me with a certificate of cremation for my pet?

Yes, we provide a certificate of cremation for every pet that we cremate. This certificate confirms that your pet was cremated individually and includes their name, the date of cremation, and other relevant information.

How do you ensure that only my pet's remains are returned to me after cremation?

We prioritize the accuracy and integrity of our cremation process. To ensure that only your pet's remains are returned to you, we use a unique identification system that assigns a tracking number to each pet. This number accompanies your pet throughout the entire cremation process, from start to finish.

Do you offer any additional services such as pet urns or memorialization options?

Yes, we offer a variety of pet urns and memorialization options. Our pet urns come in a range of styles and materials to fit your preferences and budget. We also offer personalized memorialization options such as paw prints, keepsake urns, and memorial jewelry. Please contact us for more information.

    Today we experienced the most caring, comforting and professional service from Mark at Borders Pet Crematorium. Mark went above and beyond to provide a perfect final farewell for our beloved dog of a lifetime ‘Wolfie.’ We contacted Mark on Easter Sunday (a public bank holiday). He accommodated us without hesitation in every possible way. Although Mark said that he wished he could wave a magic-wand for Wolfie, for us he did just that. Providing an exceptional and personal final journey. First class service from start to finish. We will be forever grateful to Mark. Thank You!

    On behalf of Michelle & Mike Watson:- The service we received from Borders Pet Crematorium was outstanding. After our lovely boy Bracken passed away on 26th October 2022 at the vet practice, Borders Pet Crematorium picked him up the next day and took him to the crematorium where he was placed into a wicker basket to spend his final night. Borders Pet Crematorium then phoned us the following day to advise what time Bracken would be cremated to enable us to have a Time of Reflection and send love and prayers to our most special boy. We chose to get his ashes back in a wooden Tribute box, a pawprint impression and also locks of his coat. When we went to pick up Bracken we were met by Jed who treated us very kindly and care was shown to us at this very difficult and emotional time. I cannot recommend Borders Pet Crematorium highly enough for the service, care and respect shown to us and our dog Bracken. It gave us great comfort at such a sad time that our dog Bracken was given the best send off possible. Michelle & Mike Watson 30.03.23

    Many thanks to Mark and Jed for taking care of our beautiful big shaggy dog, Scruffy, who sadly passed just over a week ago after more than 10 amazing years of wandering the hills and sharing our lives with him. I would happily recommend them to anyone.

    My beloved Oliie had been ill and sadly he passed on 23 February. I contacted Pets at Peace and they were so caring understanding. When I came down with Ollie they could not have been more understanding gave me some time to say my final goodbyes. I felt at peace knowing ollie was getting the best care. The following day I got a text to say Jed had started the cremation which was lovely as I was able to think of Ollie at the time. I had chosen a frame which would house the ashes and have a photo of him on the front. It was lovely when I got Ollie back and once again so caring and understanding about my loss. I now have Ollie home I feel he is with me. I can highly recommend Borders pet Crematorium.

    The most caring and thoughtful staff. From the very beginning when I contacted Jed to taking Flora to him to be cremated, he was respectful and understanding. When I carried Flora in her basket to Jed, his first words were, awh she is gorgeous. Flora was a gorgeous westie dog both inside and out. Jed looked after her and texted me to say Flora was ready to come home. Recommend highly. Personal service and made feel that Flora was cared and looked after. Thank you

    Professional, compassionate and understanding of the needs of a grieving pet owner. This was the only place I found that I felt confident that my dog was cremated individually (not communal) and his ashes returned to me. It was a difficult time and the staff at Borders Pet Crematorium were ready at short notice; a heart felt "thank you" to all.

    I cannot rate them highly enough - if I could give 1000 stars I would! On what was recently the worst of days Jed was not only so very kind but ensured our darling girl was treated with the utmost care and respect that she truly deserved - can't thank them enough.

    We were treated with care and compassion when our lovely cocker spaniel passed away suddenly. Jed came and picked up Barney and gently took him away. We were given his ashes in a lovely bamboo pouch with some Forget me not flower seeds to plant in the garden as a lovely reminder of our dog.
