Pet cremation in Leicester, with collection from home or the vet

Which parts of Leicester are included

We are based around Earl Shilton, to the south-west of the city, so the west and south of Leicester are in our core area and collection is included: Braunstone Town, Leicester Forest East and Glenfield (LE3), Enderby and Narborough (LE19), Blaby, Whetstone and Countesthorpe (LE8), Wigston and South Wigston (LE18), and Aylestone, Knighton, Glen Parva and Oadby (LE2 3 to LE2 9).

City centre, north and east

The city centre (LE1), the north of the city (LE4), the east (LE5) and the LE2 0, LE2 1 and LE2 2 sectors around Highfields, Stoneygate and Evington are outer areas. We add £1.50 a mile from Earl Shilton, and the booking form shows the estimate before you send the request:

Estimates use the centre of the postcode area. We confirm the exact mileage before you pay.

Getting to you

The drive in from Earl Shilton takes roughly 20 to 35 minutes depending on the part of the city and the traffic. Around the ring road at rush hour it is slower, so if timing matters, a chosen two-hour slot (£25 extra) gives us both a firm window.

Flats, terraces and parking

A lot of Leicester homes are flats or terraced streets, and some streets near the centre have residents-only parking. Tell us the floor, whether there is a lift, and anything about parking or the entry system. If we have to park a short walk away, we bring a covered carrier so your pet is not seen on the street, and we text on arrival if you ask us not to knock.

From the vet

Leicester has practices across the city and out-of-hours clinics too. If your pet is at one of them, choose “veterinary surgery”, give the name and postcode, and we arrange collection with them.

What happens next

Your pet is cremated individually at an APHA-approved partner crematorium local to the Midlands. We do not run the crematorium; we collect, stay with the arrangements and bring the ashes back to you. For city parks, ask Leicester City Council before scattering ashes; on your own land no permit is needed.

Your pet is cremated alone at an APHA-approved local crematorium. We collect them, stay with the arrangements, and bring their ashes home.

We also collect in Earl Shilton and Hinckley. Full collection area.
