About Us
Honoring Your Loved Ones with Firtree Pet Crematorium's Cremation Services
We are a small, family-run Manchester pet crematorium, founded from love and loss. Firtree Pet Crematorium was created by Peter, who passed away during the Covid years. He believed that when a family loses a beloved companion, the most important thing is getting them home quickly and with dignity.
His wife, Amanda, had once experienced the pain of waiting weeks for the ashes of her Siamese cat, Lilly — and being pressured to choose memorials when she was still raw with grief. He saw how deeply that affected her. So he built this place on one simple belief:
Our team is dedicated to providing personalised and meaningful cremation services that reflect the individuality of your loved one. We offer a range of cremation options, from individual cremations with their ashes returned to you Promptly or you can have a woodland scattering in our own private woodland here at our home, where no-one has access and your loved pet can rest in peace. We are here to help you create a meaningful tribute that honours their life and legacy. Our compassionate team of family are available to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that every detail is taken care of with the utmost care and respect.

”I just want to say again a big thank you. The box presentation with the ribbons and fur clipping is a real personal touch and much appreciated. Your gentle nature and understanding has been brilliant as we are so upset as a family, as you probably see. We would not hesitate in recommending your caring service to anyone and will happily provide feedback and a testimonial. Take care.”

”We were heartbroken, but Firtree treated Jonty with such dignity, we are so grateful we found their little place- it really is a little piece of heaven. It was lovely listening to the birds and sitting on the bench after saying goodbye to our faithful boy, calming. The forest is a beautiful idea, but we have decided to grow a tree in a pot in the garden with some of his ashes and tie the beautiful rainbow ribbons you sent home with him on there. Thank you for making this a less painful experience, thank you for your chats. Thank you for being there when we needed you..”
