More on our About us page

Kind Funerals offer dedicated and caring pet cremations. Based on the Berkshire-Surrey border we cover Greater London and all the home counties. 

We are kind to pets, treating them with respect and dignity, with individual attention and treatment. We do not do communal cremations. 

We are kind to the earth, with all our services being net zero. This comes as standard, with no extra charge.

We are kind to people. We know what it is like to love and lose a pet. We even offer family plots for ashes so you have the option to be together forever. 

We are based in Surrey and cover all of the areas listed above.

We are open seven days a week. If we miss your call in the night we will call you first thing to help.

We appreciate that death of a loved one is often sudden and an unexpected cost so we do everything we can to help you afford the funeral you want.

We offer interest free payment plans ranging from 3 to 12 monthly instalments.

You may reach us by phone at night but if you don't, we will call you back first thing in the morning. We tend to finish collections at 5pm but may be flexible.

If something has happened at night, don't panic. Your pet will be ok to be left for a while. Wrap them up in their favourite blanket and keep them in a cool place.

No we don’t. Your vet can do this and we can collect your pet from either your vet or your home.

The cremation time depends on the weight of the animal and the fat content.

A rodent may take 40 minutes and a chubby labrador (love them) could take up to two hours. Ashes then need to be processed to become fine powder and cooled to be placed into the sealed plastic container.

We can do same day cremations for an additional charge but the standard is to give it two to three days. This also allows time for keepsakes to be arranged, such as fur cuttings and paw prints.

When your pet dies you will have items that belonged to them, maybe including an old pair of slippers if your pet is as naughty as our Snoopy!

We suggest you keep a few treasured mementoes, such as a collar or a toy. You can get a keepsake box and keep them with the ashes or frame them with a photo.

Other items we suggest you store. Whilst you may not be able to contemplate another pet right now, you may become ready to welcome another furry friend into your life in the future. Give yourself time before rushing into final decisions.

Of course, if you want a clean break, your local charity shop may be a good place to donate items to help someone else take good care of their pet.

Yes. We have a horse cremation service that does include euthanasia if needed.

No. All our cremations are unique to your pet, with individual ashes are returned to you.

Our standard cremations return a sealed plastic bag with the ashes in a sturdy cardboard box.

You can choose to purchase a casket or urn from us or look around - Etsy has some inspiring items.

Take your time, ashes aren’t going anywhere.

We sure do. We will check if you want this. There is a range of memorabilia things from prints to jewellery, portraits and casts.

We collect our pets either in a dedicated trailer or in one of our vans. They are all put gently into a soft basket with a blanket - we can either use their favourite one, or can provide ours.

Your pet’s details are recorded and a pet passport is created that follows your pet through its journey of being cremated and ashes returned.

On arrival at our premises your pet will be placed temporarily in our cooler, to keep them secure and their dignity intact, whilst we prepare for their cremation.

The cremation itself is very similar to a human cremation. We are present throughout the whole process - they are never left alone. We say a few words in memory and create a respectful environment.

Most pets are put to sleep and that usually happens at the vets. Your vet may have a contact who can cremate your pet, but these services tend to freeze your pet before they can be part of a communal cremation where pets are cremated in bulk. This is also often without the option of having ashes are returned. This is the cheapest option.

We are working with an increasing number of vets to provide an alternative. You can also book with us direct and we can collect from any vet. Once you have placed your booking, we can make the arrangements with your vet direct.

Grieving is the process of understanding you have endured a loss. There is no universal measure. There is no ease in how long a pet has lived or how they died. We love our pets and their death creates a hole in our lives.

It is important to acknowledge your sadness and those who loved your pet. Talking about memories and behaviours that characterised your pet help imprint memories that will be a comfort.

Eventually time is the solution. The sadness may remain but new good things will happen to make you smile once more.
