We had to say goodbye our beloved little boy Haggis, a Black and tan King Charles spaniel.
From the first point of contact to the time we returned to collect the ashes, the service we received from the caring staff at Resting Pets was absolutely first class. We could not rate them high enough.
We were so pleased with the sympathetic, caring attention paid by the team it made the sadness we felt a bit easier to endure.
We were really impressed with their attention to the finest detain. We were particularly pleased with the way in which Haggis’s ashes were presented to us. The various items were personalised with his name. There was a lovely poem included within. There was even a packet of “ forget me not “ seeds for us to plant to act as another reminder to our lovely little boy.
The office and premises, including the chapel of rest are so tastefully presented and helped us to know Haggis would be well taken care of.
We sincerely thank the team at Resting Pets for taking such good care to make his final journey as respectful as it was.

Thank you.

So helpful and always willing to go the extra mile with what we needed for our little girl. The Chapple is beautiful so peaceful. The team showed us nothing but compassion and understanding. Knowing that my Tiffany was in good hands made me feel a bit better. I would highly recommend resting pets More...

I Would highly recommend Resting Pets, we sadly lost our beautiful boy George on a Thursday & he was back with us the following Tuesday. His casket, engraving & paw print are beautiful. We were able to drive George up ourselves & were allowed as much time as we needed in the chapel of rest with him. All staff we encountered were very caring & professional, I’ve worked in the veterinary industry all my life so I know how difficult it can be & You all really helped . Thank you for your kindness during this upsetting time. More...

I really don't do reviews but for these guys I have to. Our little guy passed so suddenly and we had no idea where to turn. I cannot be happier with how we were helped, despite feeling silly for crying none stop for our little Morty, Claire was extremely compassionate and understanding so clearly a company that cares about the animals. A sweet little urn and footprints that are way to small all made easier by people like these. 100% would recommend no question. Thanks again x More...

After the loss of our beautiful companion Holly, Resting Pets dealt with everything in a sensitive and professional way. They helped us through the process and the paw print we ordered was beautiful and in a lovely box tied with ribbon.

Sadly we’ve had the need to use Resting Pets on a few occasions. Each time very professional and compassionate. They collected my cat Binks from our home and I collected him two days later. Yes Binks was returned me in a box, however this is the protective box for urn to keep it safe! I had the paw print done too... all the paperwork is in a folder for safe keeping. I chose when given the option upon collection to view the paw print and urn in the reception area, as upsetting as it was I preferred to do this in reception rather than in the car. I can’t fault what Resting Pets do, Binks passed away on Boxing Day and Resting Pets had collected him and carried out the service they offer within 48 hours. I paid £230.00 for Binks cremation, urn and print along with the service I received, Feel I got good value for money.Don’t be put off by some of the reviews below. I work in a consumer industry and you just can’t please some people no matter how hard you try!! More...

I can not thank all of you beautiful souls enough at resting pets. They were so lovely, caring, compassionate and respectful from phone call to pick up. I think it’s an absolutely lovely touch to provide a chapel of rest and a book of memorials for you to take all the time you need to say goodbye. They were so kind to us and the state I, like many others, was in, when we came to them. They even hurried the process up for me so I didn’t have to be apart from my baby for longer than a day. They also respected my wishes with mumble and though were worried about the difficulty, they managed to produce the most perfect prints for me which they understood I was so desperate for at the time. I wouldn’t of cared if they didn’t turn out good as I expressed I just wanted to know I had a part of him. But it was beyond mine and their expectations. They also returned my nest which they lovingly cleaned up for me which was a real comfort to know that was something I didn’t have to face. The poem is a beautiful touch. Thank you so so much. You guys are earth angels and I’m so grateful for your services, and the beautiful place you’ve so lovingly created ❤️ Xoxo More...

Thank You so so much to Resting Pets and all the staff who made it possible to have our baby girl Maddy back with us for Christmas. They went way and above their duty to get her back to us in time and that speaks volumes about a company that it's not just a job to them. The heart urn we chose is just beautiful and the Paw print is just very special indeed. The way Maddy"s urn was sent and packaged and the poem to the certificate. Just beautiful. I said to my husband this must be a company that has been set up through experience from their own grief you can tell as they know this kind of service is required in your time of need.

Q&As

It’s extremely rewarding to offer pet owners the chance to honour their beloved friend. We pride ourselves on our personal service and caring approach.

My parents established Resting Pets in 1991. As a vet nurse, my mother wanted to start a service that was a huge step up from what was offered at the time.

Because we have our own pets and know exactly how we would like them treated. We speak directly to each and every pet owner regarding their wishes, so we know you as an individual- not just another number in a big corporate factory.

Services

Your pet will be cremated solely by itself, ensuring you receive all and only your pet's ashes. This is our promise to you.

Burial in our beautiful Garden of Remembrance here at Wood Far, Ongar

We can take a clay imprint or an 'inkless' print of your pet's paw ahead of the cremation service. These make lovely keepsakes, and can also be made into jewellery items at a later date. We also have a stunning range of ash jewellery, allowing for a pinch of your pet's ashes to be with you at all times.
