Cherished Companion Featured in the Glossop Chronicle – Offering Dignified Pet Cremation Services in Glossop

We’re honoured to share that Cherished Companion has been featured in the Glossop Chronicle—a heartfelt recognition of the work we do supporting pet owners through one of life’s most difficult moments: saying goodbye to a beloved companion.

Based in Glossop, Derbyshire, Cherished Companion provides a local, compassionate pet cremation service for dogs, cats, and small animals. Our mission is to ensure that every pet receives the dignified farewell they deserve, and that every family feels supported during their time of grief.

The article in the Glossop Chronicle shines a light on how we offer a more personal, gentle alternative to standard cremation options. Whether you’re looking for an individual cremation, the safe return of ashes, or just a caring voice on the other end of the phone, we’re here for you.

“We know how much pets mean to their families. They’re not ‘just animals’—they’re part of the home, part of your heart. We treat every pet with the same care and respect we would want for our own,” says Ruth & Paul, founders of Cherished Companion.

We offer collection from your home or veterinary practice, individual cremations, and beautifully presented ashes returned with care. Our services are available across Glossop, Hadfield, Chapel-en-le-Frith, and the wider High Peak and Derbyshire area.

We’ve been touched by the response from local families, and we’re so grateful that the Glossop Chronicle has helped spread awareness about the importance of respectful pet cremation and bereavement support.

You can read the full feature in this week’s edition of the Glossop Chronicle—or get in touch to speak with us directly about how we can help when the time comes.

Pet Cremation – Know your options 

Losing a beloved pet is an incredibly emotional experience, and making final arrangements for a Pets Cremationcan feel overwhelming. While it may not be something we want to think about, knowing your options in advance can help ensure your pet receives the care and dignity they deserve.

At Cherished Companion, we believe in providing a compassionate, family-run pet cremation service that gives your pet the same level of love and respect in passing as they had in life. Here’s what to consider when choosing a cremation provider:

Which Company Handles My Pet’s Cremation?

Many veterinary practices have contracts with large cremation providers, meaning they are required to send a portion of euthanised pets to these companies. These providers often operate on an industrial scale, cremating multiple pets per day in facilities such as industrial estates or shipping containers.

At Cherished Companion, we are a small, family-run business based at our home, a smallholding in Glossop. We treat every pet as if they were our own, ensuring they receive the care and dignity they deserve.

Remember, the choice is yours—you can inform your veterinarian of your preferred cremation service.

How Long Will My Pet Stay at the Vet Before Collection?

Contracted collection services typically operate on set days each week or month, depending on the size of the veterinary practice.

At Cherished Companion, we strive to collect your pet on the same day you notify us, ensuring minimal waiting time.

How Long Until I Receive My Pet’s Ashes?

Many pet owners who have used alternative providers report waiting weeks to receive their pet’s ashes. This delay is often due to infrequent collections and the high volume of cremations at large facilities.

At Cherished Companion, we aim to return ashes within 24–48 hours. The only exception is for those who order a personalised keepsake, which may take up to a week for delivery.

What Is Included in the Cost? Are There Hidden Fees?

Some providers list their prices openly, while others keep costs hidden or charge extra for sentimental keepsakes.

At Cherished Companion, we believe in transparent pricing. Unlike some providers, we do not charge extra for treasured mementos such as a fur clipping or a paw print. These keepsakes are included at no additional cost because we understand how much they mean to you.

The Benefits of Choosing Cherished Companion

 Same-day collection—Your pet will be collected as soon as we receive your call.
 Local, family-run service—Your pet will be brought back to our home in Glossop and cared for by us, a family of passionate pet lovers.
 Transparent pricing—No hidden fees, and important keepsakes are included at no extra cost.
 Fast return of ashes—We aim to return your pet to you within 24–48 hours.

Losing a pet is never easy, but knowing your options can bring peace of mind. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
