With Love & Dignity
In Loving memory of Peter. Always honouring his legacy.
Originally a boarding Kennels and Cattery and run by husband and wife team Peter & Amanda Bryan since 2000. Due to changes in legislation, Peter and Amanda decided to close down the kennels and cattery but remain focused on the pet services industry, in particular pet grooming, which is where Amanda's true love lies.
Being avid pet lovers and owners and after losing their own pet working cocker spaniel they became inspired to setup the pet crematorium offering Dog and Cat and all pet cremation, which is best described in Peter's own words:
"Firstly we lost Charlie our pet-working cocker. He was a family member and grew up with the children. He was their best mate and had been the most loyal friend to my wife and myself.
Charlie had been ill for a while and although we spared no expense with the very best vet care, his time came.
It was an emergency situation (a weekend) and we had to drive over to the vet. Charlie went to sleep with my wife holding his paw and talking to him.
But what happens next we thought? Do we bury him - NO - we wanted his ashes, so if we ever moved, he would come with us.
So it was organised through the vets there and then that he would stay with them until the crematorium collected, which was the following Thursday and then he would not return until the Thursday after when they dropped off and collected again!
It didn’t make us happy as we really wanted him home, but what choice did we have?
The same thing happened again with Lillian, our seal point Siamese family member. My wife asked if we could do things privately and have her back sooner, but this was not on the agenda.
She began to say to me that this was awful, that people just want their babies back home - they don’t want to think of them in a freezer at the vets for almost a week - 10 days. This is when we first began looking at offering our community an affordable and fast turnaround service at a time when they needed sympathy and help.
So that's how the Pet Crematorium started, with our aim being to collect as soon as you require and bring your pet back here for a private service. Once the service is completed your pets ashes are brought home as quickly as possible, in a beautiful wooden casket.
We are of course open to ideas, if an owner wanted a scatter tube or something special like their pets favourite blanket wrapped around them before service took place we are happy to listen and happy to try to give the service you require, because lets face it, they are your family members and you know what made them happy!
After such poor service in the past, we have planned for the passing of our blue point Siamese family member, who is named Eccles (after the area, yes) We plan to have his ashes placed in a bio pot in which we will also plant a sapling or seed of a weeping willow tree. This will then be planted in the garden where he was born and where he played all his life, where he flopped down in the garden surveying his entire kingdom.
Why a weeping willow tree, you ask… we believe that every time we look at the majestic life that has grown from his ashes in the place he was happy, we will smile and remember him surveying all his kingdom as the tree will then. This way, Eccles will never sit in a freezer for any amount of time, his farewell will be as dignified and cared for as his life was.
"Shouldn’t we all have those choices with our animal family members?"
We at the Firtree Pet Crematorium Specialise in individual pet cremation and we can organise home euthanasia at a affordable cost so please dont dismiss this as a potential extreme, as using this option is a far more desirable option for most of our pet mums and dads,
We pride ourselves on being as caring as we are able, our vet of choice is wonderful and very caring, he will enable your pet to go to sleep at home in their own surroundings with their loved ones by their side encountering as little stress as deemed possible,
My own darling pets become really stressed when visiting the vet routinely so this is why we feel you should know, they can be comfortable at the end it shouldnt be out of range, well, it isnt with our vet.
We can usually collect your pet the same day from your home or from your vet and aim to return them as soon as physically possible, our aim is to reunite you with your beloved pet's ashes as soon as we can
What will never change though is the fact that your pet will be cared for by us in their final journey and we promise that their journey will be an individual and private one.
We are open Monday to Sunday and out of hours services are also available on request.
We often send your pet home with a paw print and a lock of hair if this is possible this is not an integral part of our packages but something we do if it is physically possible and we do not charge for this.
We take care of all pet cremation whatever your beloved pet species belongs to, dog cremation, cat cremation, rabbit cremation, reptiles, rodents, birds... all pet cremation.
Whichever one of your family members needs guidance when crossing rainbow bridge, call us, we will support you and your loved one with love and dignity in their final earthly journey.
We can include in our prices collection and the home delivery of ashes in a wooden casket, Just ask if you wish this adding.

Sometimes, even though we find it hard, we often have to make a decision to let our pets go to sleep. As pet mums and dads we do this when it is the kindest and only option left to us.
Here at Firtree Pet Crematorium, we are associated with the most caring and kind vets who will come to your home, should the painful need arise to say goodbye and carry out home euthanasia at a very affordable price, helping you to ensure you can have an individual pet cremation in the same dignified and considerate way you would wish your humans to be cared for when they reached that point in their lives. Our way, will enable your pet to remain in the comfort of their own home and not feel any of the anxiety that they may usually feel when faced with a trip to the vet.
Home euthanasia is not something we offer , however in turmoil we can help you coordinate this and we do not charge for the help when coordinating. The fees are usually payable directly to the vet for the home euthanasia. We do understand that the grief experienced when you loose a pet can be totally disabling to pet family so we will do what we can whenever we can to help you navigate.
We understand that all of our pets are unique, therefore, if you have something a little more specific in mind or are unsure if we will offer the cremation service for your pet, please call us and feel free to ask the question.
We are not here to sell anything to you.
Our only aim is to help you and your family navigate this deeply upsetting period in your lives.

Your Pet cremation
We will also get your pets ashes back to you as soon as physically possible.
Please note we are unable to store blankets, other personal items and pet carriers and would ask you not to send your pets to us with these items as would not wish to dispose of anything that may be precious.
Also it may not always be possible to get a paw print or lock of fur but we will if nothing prevents this possibility, this process is not an integral part of the package but something we will do for pet parents if we can.
The paw print we will collect for you if possible will either be clay or ink dependant on the materials available.
Having your dog cremated or your cat cremated or indeed any pet cremated is a very difficult time, we understand and we care.
We started the pet crematorium for our local community to have the choice to care for their pet family like any other family member at the end of their life. Please don"t hesitate to contact us at our true born Manchester Pet Crematorium individual pet cremation
