Pets at Peace

Independent Pet Crematorium in Whitehaven, Cumbria

Losing a beloved pet is one of the hardest moments we face. At Pets at Peace, we provide gentle, dignified pet cremation services for families across Whitehaven and the surrounding areas of Cumbria.

We are a small, independent crematorium owned and run by ourselves, Jeanne and Stephen — lifelong animal lovers who understand that pets are family.

Whether you would prefer to visit us by appointment or arrange for your pet to be collected from your home or veterinary practice, we are here to guide you with compassion, care, and respect.

• Bella

  If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Jeanne and Stephen went completely above and beyond for us. Without sharing too much detail, losing our baby girl, Bella, was a very traumatic experience, and the vets had mixed things up so she wasn’t where she was supposed to be. Thanks to Jeanne and Stephen, her final journey was truly 5-star. They stayed back after hours to collect Bella, got her settled, and made her look like a queen at rest. With their constant communication and care, we knew she was safe and comfortable, which really set our minds at ease.

  ​When we went to collect Bella and met Jeanne and Stephen in person, you could feel how much love goes into their business the moment you walked through the door—it was so calming, relaxing, and welcoming. They made us a cup of tea, chatted with us, and showed us where Bella had rested, as well as the memorial wall where she now stands proud with the other rainbow animals and her name on the tree. They also gave us a gorgeous slate heart with Bella’s paw print and name, which was such a beautiful gesture. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did after the mix-up. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our girl—words can’t express how much we appreciate it.

• Bella

  Jeanne and Steven looked after my dog Bella exceptionally well. The kindness and compassion shown to me and my daughter Caitlin was second to none. They both made what was a very difficult time for us easy than we could have imagined. Knowing Bella was sent to her final resting place with the compassion shown in what I can describe as a perfect environment made it more easy for us to accept. What a truly wonderful service provided by Pets at peace thank you xx

• Molly

  I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Jeanne and Stephen for their kindness and understanding. After 13 years I had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to my beautiful cat Molly, the sweetest soul who meant the world to me. My father had passed away only a few days before and I was devastated, however, this wonderful couple went above and beyond. Despite the fact I live 2 hours away Stephen arrived at 7.30pm to collect Molly, spending nearly an hour explaining how they would look after Molly on her final journey. It was a great comfort to know she would receive the love and care she deserved.
  Stephen brought Molly home 24 hours later along with some wonderful keepsakes. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your care and compassion and for making one of the darkest times a bit easier.

• Indy

  On the 12/9/26 we suddenly and horrifically lost our beloved Indy for no obvious reason, she was only a baby at 14 months old. I’d never used Pets at Peace before, always used what the vets suggested for ease, never again as you do truly receive a personal and compassionate service from Pets at Peace. Jeanne and Steve treated Indy as if she was one of their own dogs. They prepared her so we could spend some time with her and take our other dog to say her final goodbyes

• Lola

  i recently trusted pets at peace to cremate my darling bunny rabbit lola. i couldn’t recommend them enough. they made me feel much better about the situation and treated lola with utmost respect, and sent me home with so many little items to memorialise her, including a beautiful slate with her name on, and fur. wouldn’t ever use anyone else again. the environment is calming and peaceful, with a beautiful wall of pet names to remember them all forever. jeanne even went through the trouble of making sure my partners dog, sam, and lola’s photos were beside each other on their wall, along with their name tags together. thank you both jeanne and stephen for making such a sad time that little bit easier, especially as this was my first pet, therefore first pet loss. almost felt like a little funeral for her, which was exactly how i would have wanted to say my final goodbyes. jeanne laid lola out in the most peaceful position, as if she was just sleeping, which made saying goodbye so much less heartbreaking. rest in peace lola, and thank you again pets at peace🕊️🐰
