    Harrogate Borough Council's plans also include converting a storage building at Stonefall into a "goodbye room", where owners can say their final farewells to their pets before they are cremated.

    Harrogate Borough Council has this week submitted a plan to build a pet crematorium at Stonefall Cemetery.

    It follows the lead of councils in North East Lincolnshire and Barnsley, which have already opened or started work on pet crematoriums.

    Harrogate council currently charges £36 to collect dead pets from people’s homes.

    Currently, the closest pet crematoriums are in either Thirsk or Skipton.

    The crematorium at Harrogate would be built inside a converted shipping container.

    The plans also include converting a storage building at Stonefall into a "goodbye room", where owners can say their final farewells to their pets before they are cremated.

    A decision on the proposal will be made at a later date.
