Written by the company

Legacy Pets Cremation Services Ltd Triple Award Winning Pet Crematorium: "The North West Business Awards - Best Customer Service 20/21" "Prestige England Awards - Pet Crematorium of The Year 20/21" “Made in Manchester’s Team of The Year 2022” "Greater Manchester Business Awards 2022 - Innovative Business During Covid-19" --- Our Story: After the passing of our family cat Barney in 2011, we parted with our baby boy at our local vet and waited in earnest for his return home. It would be over two weeks before we had our boys remains returned to us, leaving us emotionally exhausted but otherwise delighted to have him home. We were dismayed to discover that our boy had been cremated only 3 days prior, according to his certificate of cremation. We were left wondering, where had our Barney been in all that time? With the coming of our darling family dogs 14th birthday, the topic of preparing for Maggie’s passing brought memories of our passed experience flooding back, and we vowed to honour her with a dignified cremation, right here in her home town of Bury. We recognised the need for a compassionate, local pet cremation service that offers bereaved pet owners the peace of mind that their pets will be treated with the utmost respect, will be revered every step of the way and are returned to their families swiftly so that they may all find comfort and closure in their pets passing. With that Legacy Pets was founded, dedicated to providing compassionate support to each and every family we serve. We provide a beautiful and serene environment to say your final goodbyes and offer a range of hand selected urns and keepsakes for you to cherish. --- 24/7 Collection - In the unfortunate circumstance that your pet passed away, we offer a service to your home. Individual Cremations - Designed to ensure the highest level of professionalism, care and dignity throughout the cremation process. Personally Returned - We aim to return your Pets ashes to you within 48 hours or same day where possible. --- Exclusively Individual Pet Cremations: - Extra Small Pets (hamsters, budgies etc.) - Small Pets (guinea pigs, rabbits etc.) - Cats - Dogs Personalised Paw Prints: Our stunning Personalised Paw Prints are taken prior to your pets cremation. We take several prints to ensure we get the perfect impression of your pet's paw. Once we've taken the print, we run it through our computer and print the paw-print out with your pets name situated below the paws. We then mount this print in one of our gorgeous white box frames for you to keep. You also receive all of the original prints we take prior to printing the final paw print. Our Paw Prints come in either plain black or a colour/pattern of your choice and start from the following: Black Ink Paw-Print = £25 Nose Prints = £20 Shell Prints = £30 ​Coloured Prints = £30 Additional Digital Copy = £15

Thank you

Thank you to the whole team for your caring and respectful service. From start to finish in such sad circumstances every interaction was carried out with compassion. The owner of legacy pets (sorry forgot his name) who collected my beloved dog of 14years was so lovely. He really went the extra mile when he came to collect lula and genuinely cared. He was very kind and thoughtful. His words gave me comfort following a sudden and unpleasant death for my beautiful girl. Thank you for everything. Ruth, Adam, Eve and Sasha

% Absolutely Fantastic Service

% Absolutely Fantastic Service, from the very first call I made to Legacy Pets, from collecting my Princess and returning her home, Everybody who I spoke to were Caring, Considerate, thoughtful, they listened and answered all of my questions that I had, they explained everything and more, they were there all the way through the process and even telephoned me to give updates. At a sad time Legacy Pets Cremation Services were Brilliant and I did not worry about a thing as they put you at ease, Their products are first class too, and are presented beautifly. The care given is 100%, I would say they went above and beyond.
Thank you Legacy Pets I will not forget your Service, Care and Compassion at a sad time

My boy Leo

From first phone call to Harry everything was professional, called at 9.30am discussion with Josh who rang back at 9.55 to confirm he’d found a vet for home visit to arrive with us at 10.45, traveling all the way from Warrington to Bury. Lady vet arrived 10.50 took time to explain things, very professional and gave us time. Chantel & Callum arrived and explained everything to us, Leo was handled with such dignity, we had time with him once in van, nothing was too much trouble.
Next day we collected Leo’s ash’s from shop, was really impressed. Again we were treated professionally, given time to talk about Leo, even bringing tears to girls eye.
Again massive thanks to all Legacy team for looking after our boy Leo on his final journey.

I really don't know where to begin

I really don't know where to begin. I can never ever thank Legacy Pets enough for the outstanding care and compassion they have shown us and our darling little Ernie over the last few days. Ernie was our 14.5 year old Shih Tzu. For the past two years he had suffered with heart problems. Sadly in the last week his health had really deteriorated and we had to make the most difficult decision to help him on his final journey as he no longer had quality of life. We arranged for home euthanasia with Legacy. My husband was with him as I could not bear to be present. The lady vet arrived at the time planned and talked him through everything, Ernie left us so peacefully. Within 15 minutes a lovely young man came to collect him, telling my husband to take all the time he needed to say goodbye and allowing him to carry Ernie out to the van himself where he was placed on a lovely little bed. Today I went to collect our beloved Ernies ashes, which were beautifully presented, alongside a rainbow print of his paw, vials of his fur and a lovely candle. The lady who met us was so compassionate, going through everything with us and taking time to ask us about Ernie. They have truly made one of the heartbreaking times, so much more bearable with their exceptional service and going above and beyond in every way. I cannot recommend them enough. We have two other little doggies and I pray it will be a very long time before we need to call upon their services, but we will certainly turn to them again. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.

Excellent Service in Every Way.

We cannot thank Legacy Pets enough, for the compassion and support we received, when we lost our beautiful boy Rufus.
Even though we’re absolutely heartbroken, we take comfort in knowing that Rufus was treated with much love and dignity during every step of his final journey, and we are so grateful for the aftercare we have received too.
A wonderful team 💜

Respectful and Empathetic

We can't thank you enough for making what was an incredibly emotional time for us less stressful. You treated us with kindness and empathy with such professional service, We felt as though our Rococo had been left in good hands on his final journey. We now have a lovely cat casket to treasure and he will always be with us. Good luck with the development of the cremation site, we need a personal service like this for our beloved animals. You are one of a kind.

Beautiful and respectful

I would like to thank Legacy pets for a truly wonderful and respectful service in what is a very difficult situation. We just lost “our boy” Alonso after 16 years but the way Legacy dealt with it all helped ease the pain a little.
Once again, thank you very much.

A kind and compassionate company just when you need them the most

My husband and I cannot thank Legacy Pets enough for the kind and compassionate way they handled the passing of our beautiful chocolate Labrador, Ollie. The experience was difficult enough, losing a loving and loyal member of our family of nearly 14 years, but Legacy Pets were everything you would want during such an awful time. They kindly picked up Ollie from the vets on the same day as he went to sleep and kept us informed every step of the way. Ollie was returned to us in an elegant casket, with a beautiful memory candle, and he is now home where he belongs.
Thank you to everyone at Legacy Pets and we would highly recommend them to everyone during such a sad time.

Truly the best in the business.

Our dog Monty (a shih tzu who was 15) was terminally ill.
When I say he was our dog I mean he was our son...
He had been suffering from an enlarged heart for nearly 3 years and after being given 12 months to live by the vets, (he proved them wrong) he recently started suffering from heart failure and seizures and we knew it was time to make that horrible decision that you have to make, I looked around on the internet and found legacy pets cremation services who provided the most fantastic and utterly amazing service.
When I phoned I spoke to John he was completely caring and understanding of what had happened and even though I was blubbing on the phone he was so patient and understanding as to what had happened and what needed to be done he explained clearly to me everything that needed to be done and 2 days later a vet came to our house and we said goodbye to our beautiful lad in his home surroundings... it couldn't have been nicer...
10-minutes later legacy's van arrived and after a lovely chat with Chris the driver he took our son away to be cremated.
Forty eight hours later we have our beautiful boy back with us and cannot be more pleased with the service we received.
God bless all of you that work there especially John, Chris, and Claire, and thank you for all you have done for our beautiful son Monty.🌈💔

Bob’s Send Off <3

During an extremely difficult time Legacy Pets we’re professional, reassuring, empathetic and kind. They talked us through exactly what would happen with Bob whilst he was in their care, spoke about options and made us feel at ease As ease as we could be.

They delivered Bob to us just 2 days after and worked around my working hours. The packaging itself was professional, and inside there was Bob’s ashes in a Mahogany box with the engraving we asked for. A framed and personalised paw print, 2 copies of 3 other paw prints (+£20 but 100% worth it in my opinion), a vanilla scented candle and a certificate in a wax sealed envelope.

Couldn’t ask for a better service during this horrible time. Couldn’t recommend more!

Thank You,
LW
