Pet Exhumation

No one left behind


Why Exhume a Pet?

There are many reasons why families may need a pet exhumation. Often the final resting place of a beloved pet has been disturbed (flooding, wild animals, renovations) or the family may have changed their mind about burial being the best option or, as most is often the case, the family are moving home and don't want to leave their pet behind.
For any situation we can provide a pet exhumation service to help families with this difficult process. We send a team to the pet's grave, recover their remains and either, privately cremate them, re-bury them in our Pet Cemetery or move them to thier new home.


Costs There are many variables that will influence the cost of a pet exhumation, several things need to be taken into account; the pet's size, the distance travelled, time spent to find and recover their remains (which is heavily affected by the soil nature), and if the pet is going to be cremated or re- buried. It is always best to telephone the cemetery for a detailed estimate of cost.


What remains are we likely to find? We receive many questions about what the exhumed remains will be like, which is quite difficult to predict. The enviromental conditions of the soil where the pet is laid to rest has the biggest influence on the natural processes acting on the body. We have found well preserved remains after 12 years underground, and other occasions, after a short period of time, only skeletal remains have been recovered.
