Wise Old Thumper
I normally leave my buns at the vets and have their ashes back, if they die at st georges I pick them up and take them to cavan vets, because tehir crem costs are cheaper. I always get them back in a casket and they come little death certificate and on the back is the details of the crematorium.
I decided to actually take Bramble to the crem myself last night rather than going through the vets (they are using a different crem now) so I got the details off the back of one of the certificates.
I have always been a bit scared about dropping them off before because I didn't know what to expect, but my goodness :shock: it was lovely. They had a little chapel of rest and it's a little family run place out in the countryside http://www.swanpitpetcrematorium.co.uk/ the experience wasn't as traumatic as I thought and I wish I had dropped my others direct now ,
they have always been good to me as when I've had partners die of already dead bunnies, they have opened up the casket and put my bonded pairs back together for me.
Bramble was cremated last night and I pick her up tonight. I had this excellent services and all it cost was £40 and that's to have her in a casket with a brass name plague, I was paying 3 times that at the vets, the cheeky vets really rip us off in our time of need :shock:.
Anyway the point to this thread is, rather than leave your pet at the vet, take them to the crem yourself, google your local pet crem and find out costs because it's really hard to do it after they've gone , it is kind of nice way to say goodbye and is a lot cheaper.
When I got home Bryn was like "was it a factory with big chimney ", but seriously it was a proper little crem, the old bloke that run it was really dotty.
I am a bit sad about Bramble but at least she will be back home tonight
