When you choose to have a loved one cremated, it's a very personal thing. This is often decided before the loved one dies, as it might be in their will, or it could be something they discussed with their family before passing away.  Cremation is a big part of the grieving process, and while some might presume it's just the burning of the body, there is a lot more involved than most people think.

The hard part is choosing the right size urn for your pet. It's a lot easier with a human, but animals come in different shapes and sizes. We will walk you through all you need to know about choosing the correct-sized urn for your beloved pet.

How everyone displays urns at home will be different. It's a way to honour a loved one and is a big part of the grieving process.

It may surprise you to learn that the most common and popular form of funeral in the UK is cremation, and it has been for some time now.

You may not realize how common it is for ashes to be transported over large distances.
