Having lost my darling Maisie recently, I was suddenly confronted with arranging a cremation for her. Its not until we have actually lose a pet, that we then start doing some research or leave the arrangements to our vets as we are grieving. Its often all too much.
My way of coping with Maisie is for some good to come out of her passing and thats why I want to share with you what I have discovered by accident.
I telephoned the emergency vets ( a large company) and they told me to bring Maisie to them and that she would come back to me in two weeks. It seemed such a long time. Thankfully I did some research on the internet and found there are alternatives to using these large companies. I found a pet crematorium, who opened especially to meet me with Maisie. They treated her with such respect and I was allowed to collect her yesterday and bring her home.
Whilst your bunnies are healthy, have plans in place for the future. Speak to your vets and see where they out-source their cremations and see if you are happy to go that route. When you are deeply upset, its not the time. The crematorium I went to near Basingstoke, is part of an organisation that is based across the UK, so there might be one nearer to you.
The costs to me was £100, but this included £30 for opening on the Sunday to meet me. Not a great deal of money at an awful time.

My purpose of writing this is to help someone in the future and not to hurt anyone who did something different in the past. I was not aware of the large companies now involved in this service and I am thankful that I accidently found a more personal service for her.
