More about our individual care

A Family Caring for Your Family

We’re David and Joseph, father and son. We’re here every day, working alongside our team to care for your companion and help you through saying goodbye.

David

Cherry Tree began with David’s idea and a rather unexpected conversation with Sheila: he wanted to sell the family home and buy a barren field. That was in 2000.

The field became Cherry Tree, built around his love of animals and a simple belief: every family deserves time, kindness and care when saying goodbye.

Joseph

Joseph grew up at Cherry Tree, joining the family business in 2015. He has always befriended animals, including a wild duck named Duckie who used to follow him around.

Losing his childhood Jack Russell, Tee, in heartbreaking circumstances taught him how much our pets can help us through life, and how their loss turns our world upside down. That understanding stays with him as he cares for other families.

The reassurance of individual care

Your companion.
Our personal care.

Every pet is cremated individually, alone within an enclosed chamber. All ashes are carefully collected before the next cremation begins, so the ashes returned to you are all and only those of your companion.

A Lasting Connection

A Little Guidance

Can you collect my companion?

We can collect from your home or veterinary practice by arrangement. Collection and return of ashes are separate journeys; you can see the charges on our pricing page.

Can I bring their ashes home the same day?

Our usual turnaround is normally the following working day. Same-day cremation is an optional extra, subject to availability. Please call us first to talk through the arrangements.

Can I think about arrangements in advance?

Yes. You are welcome to call us or use our wishes forms to record your preferences and share them with your vet. View forms and brochures.
