Treating pets with dignity and respect at all stages of their life, especially the difficult times by providing caring individual cremations.
(1680)
Dignity Pet Crematorium was started in 1992 by Barry & Carole Spurgeon. Our aim is to make the passing of a much loved pet easier to cope with through our caring and respectful individual pet cremation service. We are very different to the weekly pet cremation services often offered through veterinary surgeries and try to give each pet the send off that they deserve.

When the Time Is Right, We’re Still Here 🐾
We know that when you’re grieving, it’s hard to think clearly—let alone make decisions about memorial items. That’s why our online shop is here for you, whenever you feel ready.
From personalised keepsakes to timeless tributes, you can choose something that reflects your pet’s place in your heart, in your own time.
Because even after your pet has left our care, our support doesn’t end there.
It’s National Dog Photography Day… so of course we had to show off the real stars of the office!
From under-desk snoozes to suspiciously well-timed snack appearances, our office dogs are never far away—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
At Dignity, many of us are pet owners too, which means we understand the love, chaos, and camera rolls full of paws and noses.
💬 Got a photo of your dog you’re proud of? Drop it in the comments. We’d love to see your four-legged models!

In Loving Memory of Bentley 💙
Passed 12.11.24, one month after his 2nd birthday
We recently had the honour of caring for Bentley, a much-loved boy whose time here was far too short. His family shared this beautiful message with us, and with their permission, we’d like to share it with you:
"It was our children’s first experience with losing a pet, and the level of care and compassion was amazing... Bentley now has his own little shelf above where he used to sleep, with all his favourite things beside him. Knowing our boy was well looked after and loved while in your care helped with the grief so much." – The Smith Family
Bentley, you were clearly cherished beyond words—and we’re so grateful to have played a small part in your journey.
If you’ve said goodbye to a pet recently, please know you're not alone. We’re here for you, always.

The idea for our Homecoming Building was born from one simple question:
How can we make this experience more considerate for the families we care for?
We knew we needed a space that wasn’t just practical. It needed to be thoughtful, peaceful, and personal. Somewhere families could collect their pet’s ashes in private, with dignity and time to pause.
Looking back at the building process, it’s a reminder of how far we’ve come and how committed we are to always doing better. Since it opened, the Homecoming Building has become a space of comfort, where countless families have reunited with their pets for one final homecoming.
Because every detail matters, and we care passionately about getting it right.

Service Update – Phone Network Issues
Due to a network outage in our area, we’re currently unable to return calls to clients on Three, EE, Vodafone, O2, and BT. If you leave us a voicemail, please know we may not be able to call you back straight away.
☎️ We can still receive incoming calls. So if you need to speak to us, please do call in directly.
📧 We are continuing to communicate with clients via email, so if your pet is in our care, please keep an eye on your inbox for updates.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work through this. We’re doing everything we can to stay connected and support you.

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." – Newton’s Third Law
Grief, in many ways, follows this same law. The deeper the love we felt, the deeper the pain we feel in its absence. The joy, the comfort, the loyalty. All of it leaves a space when it's gone.
We grieve because we loved. And in that pain is a reflection of something truly beautiful, a bond worth missing.
If you're navigating pet loss, you're not alone. We see your grief, and we honour the love behind it. 🐾
💬 If you'd like to share something about your pet—their quirks, their kindness, or simply their name—we’d love to hear.

Yesterday, Kevin visited Green Door Independent Vets, a newly opened practice just outside Petersfield, founded by Amy (pictured) and Pavel.
He gave a talk on Best Aftercare Practice, sharing how we can work together to ensure that both pets and their families receive the thoughtful, compassionate support they deserve—especially during the most difficult goodbyes.
As an independent crematorium, we’re proud to support like-minded, independent practices that share our values and passion for truly personal care.

📞 Thank you for your patience
We’re currently receiving a high number of calls, and while we’re doing our best to respond as quickly as possible, urgent enquiries—such as bringing your pet to us—may have a callback time of up to 4 hours.
Please rest assured that your call matters, and we’re taking the time to support every family with the compassion and care they deserve.
If you’ve reached out to us, you haven’t been forgotten. We’ll be with you as soon as we can.

Dignity Pet Crematorium was started in 1992 by my parents, Barry & Carole Spurgeon. Our aim is to make the passing of a much loved pet easier to cope with through our caring and respectful individual pet cremation service. We are very different to the weekly pet cremation services often offered through veterinary surgeries and promise to give each pet the loving send off that they deserve.
I’ve explained a bit more about us below. For more information just visit our main website www.dignitypetcrem.co.uk or call us on 01252 844572 to talk through your wishes. We also have a Live Chat feature on our website or you can send us a message via Facebook if you are finding it too difficult to speak to someone over the phone.

Our service is simple. We will look after your pet, however large or small, on their own and you will receive only their ashes back after a genuine individual cremation or you can choose to have them scattered in our beautiful gardens alongside both other pets and their human guardians.
You can choose to personalise their send off however you want. More and more people are choosing to bring their pet to us for a Same Day or Attended cremation service, where you can say a last goodbye before waiting in our gardens or the local area before returning home with their ashes later the same day. Alternatively we can collect your pet from your home or vet in one of our pet hearses. Either way they will be looked after by us with the respect they deserve.
Please take time to read our reviews both on Facebook and on the review site Freeindex. We hope that these reviews by “real” people will give you complete peace of mind about how we will care for your pet. If you can it is far better to plan ahead as you can be swept along by events and may be rushed into making a hasty decision. Doing your research before the final day will give you a better understanding of the less scrupulous practices and lead you to make an informed decision that is the right one for you.
Losing a pet is devastating (to put it mildly) and we are also there to help you cope with your loss. We can be there for you as a shoulder to lean on and have access to fully trained pet bereavement counsellors to help you in your grief.
