A pet crematorium opened in Harrogate today.
The crematorium, run by Harrogate Borough Council, gives pet owners the chance to say farewell to their cats, dogs and small animals.
Prices start at £72 for small animals and from £85 for cats and from £115 for dogs.
The ashes will be placed in a scatter tube, which owners can collect, along with a memorial certificate.
The crematorium is located at Stonefall Cemetery and Crematorium on Wetherby Road.
The crematorium is at Stonefall on Wetherby Road.
Councillor Sam Gibbs, the council’s cabinet member for environment, waste reduction and recycling, said:
“Pets are like part of the family and they deserve an ending with dignity and respect, just like humans.
“The new pet crematorium will provide the most sympathetic setting for people to say goodbye to their pets.
“This service will also provide people, as well as veterinary surgeries, a local, trusted and reliable pet cremation service – operated by experts in bereavements.”
The Stray Ferret revealed last year the council was set to award a £40,000 contract to create a pet crematorium at Stonefall.
