Written by the company

Legacy Pets Cremation Services Ltd Triple Award Winning Pet Crematorium: "The North West Business Awards - Best Customer Service 20/21" "Prestige England Awards - Pet Crematorium of The Year 20/21" “Made in Manchester’s Team of The Year 2022” "Greater Manchester Business Awards 2022 - Innovative Business During Covid-19" --- Our Story: After the passing of our family cat Barney in 2011, we parted with our baby boy at our local vet and waited in earnest for his return home. It would be over two weeks before we had our boys remains returned to us, leaving us emotionally exhausted but otherwise delighted to have him home. We were dismayed to discover that our boy had been cremated only 3 days prior, according to his certificate of cremation. We were left wondering, where had our Barney been in all that time? With the coming of our darling family dogs 14th birthday, the topic of preparing for Maggie’s passing brought memories of our passed experience flooding back, and we vowed to honour her with a dignified cremation, right here in her home town of Bury. We recognised the need for a compassionate, local pet cremation service that offers bereaved pet owners the peace of mind that their pets will be treated with the utmost respect, will be revered every step of the way and are returned to their families swiftly so that they may all find comfort and closure in their pets passing. With that Legacy Pets was founded, dedicated to providing compassionate support to each and every family we serve. We provide a beautiful and serene environment to say your final goodbyes and offer a range of hand selected urns and keepsakes for you to cherish. --- 24/7 Collection - In the unfortunate circumstance that your pet passed away, we offer a service to your home. Individual Cremations - Designed to ensure the highest level of professionalism, care and dignity throughout the cremation process. Personally Returned - We aim to return your Pets ashes to you within 48 hours or same day where possible. --- Exclusively Individual Pet Cremations: - Extra Small Pets (hamsters, budgies etc.) - Small Pets (guinea pigs, rabbits etc.) - Cats - Dogs Personalised Paw Prints: Our stunning Personalised Paw Prints are taken prior to your pets cremation. We take several prints to ensure we get the perfect impression of your pet's paw. Once we've taken the print, we run it through our computer and print the paw-print out with your pets name situated below the paws. We then mount this print in one of our gorgeous white box frames for you to keep. You also receive all of the original prints we take prior to printing the final paw print. Our Paw Prints come in either plain black or a colour/pattern of your choice and start from the following: Black Ink Paw-Print = £25 Nose Prints = £20 Shell Prints = £30 ​Coloured Prints = £30 Additional Digital Copy = £15

Its beyond words how much my soul is…

Its beyond words how much my soul is happy that i went to Legacy Pets to have my beautiful best friend Benson cremated. Paula, Claire, Norma and Milos mum, thank you deeply. Once I'd got his ashes I could stop crying. It really helped me and my kids more than I could imagine.
I'll never forget my daughter telling me she could see Paula stroking Benson as we'd drove away after saying goodbye.
Your all true angels.
Animals are pure love.

Thank You for looking after my boy

I got in touch with legacy pets wen my old boy our ozzy started getting worse on his back legs and spoke with a lady called josie and was planning ahead as knew I would be broken wen the time came. Josie was very nice and helpful even though I was heartbroken she made sure I was OK and kept telling me to take my time. Wen I knew it was time I got back in touch and josh answered the call. I was a mess trying to sort a vet out as our ozzys vet couldn't attend so josh sorted all that out as well as making sure I was OK. Josh also stayed late and arrived early the next morning and stil making sure I was OK, so Thank You Josh. The vet arrived his name was Charlie he took his time and explained everything and was respectful of my wishes regarding our ozzy. So Thank You Charlie for being kind and respectful to our ozzy. Charlie left and within 5 minutes Mike arrived to take our ozzy to legacy pets Mike was very kind and respectful to our ozzy and myself he was gentle with our ozzy and layed him in the van with his Teddy and a blanket he looked asleep I also received a call off Mike about a hour or so later to tell me our ozzy was in the quiet room with his Teddy and blanketso Thank You Mike for looking after our ozzy. John brought our ozzy home Friday with his nose and paw print Thank You John for looking after our ozzy and making sure I was OK. Thank You Karen for looking after our ozzy wen he arrived. I am still heartbroken but Legacy Pets did give me comfort to know that he was being looked after and know we're he was with people that genuinely care for pets. Thank You legacy pets you truely are amazing. Angela and May

Legacy Pets Bury

I would just like to say a massive thank you to Legacy Pets for the superb service they gave to our beloved cat Gizmo, the vet Shereen Aktar was compassionate, emphatic and very clear all the way through the process of saying our last goodbye, the office lady on the phone was also a credit in the way she handled my call, thank you Legacy Pets 🙏🏻

They made a horrible process easier

We had to make the heart breaking decision to have Chilli (our 18 year old cat) put to sleep as she was suffering and from the first phone call Legacy were wonderful. Kind, compassionate and personal service - they treated Chilli like they knew her and with respect
The vet was respectful and thoughtful explaining the process and being gentle such that what is a horrendous experience didn’t feel so bad
The young man who then came to pick Chilli up within 5-10 mins after the vet left was again compassionate and treated Chilli with respect even placing her upfront with him in the van and strapping her in
Picking up her ashes was also a personalised appointment and again staff were compassionate
I would recommend the service

Wonderful, caring service

Everyone I spoke to at Legacy Pets was warm, caring and professional. I was given time to make decisions and they asked thoughtful questions about my lovely cat Willow. When I went to pick Willow up, I hadn't made an appointment but they still took the time to sit me down and explain everything. I recieved Willow's ashes in a lovely box along with her paw prints and all in a nicely presented bag with a candle. Excellent service and staff.

Our precious Margot was put to sleep on…

Our precious Margot was put to sleep on the 20.02.2023 unexpectedly. The vets had provided us with information with Legacy Pets, and slowed us time to grieve before approaching them.

My mother in law arranged for collection and the package we wanted, and they were absolutely amazing with updating her to let us know when they had Margot in their care. Legacy Pets actually collect your fur baby from the vets in a dignified matter. No one prepares you for the loss of a loved one, and the sympathy and compassion showed in those days meant absolutely everything to us. To not have her home for a few days was the hardest thing we’ve had to go through, but with regular updates, it made it that little easier. On collection, we were greeted by Norma at the Bury branch, who allowed us time to reflect and talk about Margot. You can tell the people that work here genuinely do care and want to understand how much of a loss your fur baby is to you.

We were given space and time to sit and talk to Norma about Margots life, and we never felt rushed or pressured. Norma showed us everything included. Everything was packaged absolutely beautifully.

Margot now sits on our bedside table, with her nose, paw prints and fur surrounding her. Waking up feels a little easier knowing she will always be close to us forever.

Thank you so much for making a difficult part of our lives a little easier.

10/10 would recommend Legacy Pets

Had a fabulous experience with legacy pets. After the sudden loss of our pet we had a lovely service from start to finish. Our dog was treated with the upmost respect and care whilst in their hands and it was reassuring as the owner to gain regular updates. We also got the ashes back within 48 hours, despite it being a weekend. Many thanks to all the team.

Above & Beyond

I would like to thank Legacy pets with all my heart for the great service they provide, Our hearts were broken when we had to have our beautiful girl Mitzee Moomin Owens put to sleep. The pain was unbearable I phoned Legacy pets the following day and they went to get our girl. From the very start they shown us so much love and support & it sort of made it a little easier knowing she was being taken care of every single aspect of every single person i spoke to was above & beyond any service of care they were there for me every step of the way they listened when I was upset and gave me so much support. They did everything so perfect for us & helped us on our way to trying to heal. Even when we went to pick her up the service provided was exceptional & I would like to thank Norma for being so kind & giving me & my daughter a big hug when we needed it most. We will be forever grateful to you all.
Lots of Love Mitzee Moomin x
& The Owens Family x x x

Cannot rate Legacy Pets highly enough

Cannot rate Legacy Pets highly enough. My daughter was so upset when her hamster died, and they treated her and Toasty with sensitivity, respect and dignity. The little touches made her so happy, especially the paw print picture with her name, will be a treasured memory of her. The scatter tube is lovely, and will be perfect to bury inside a plant pot for her to remember her by.

Respect and professionalism

When our beloved Bassett Wilson developed serious health issues we contacted Legacy Pets and they organised a vet to come to our house and help ease his pain and suffering. Although it was heart-breaking to lose our buddy, the way it was all handled was absolutely perfect. It was done with such caring and respect that i know we did the right thing contacting them. I cannot recommend them highly enough to help you through this incredibly difficult time.
We now have his ashes and his paw and nose prints to forever remind us of him.

Brilliant Service

I have used legacy pets twice now due to loosing two animals in a short space of time. They go above and beyond every time and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Each time the staff have been brilliant, it’s such a difficult time and they made it bearable and made me feel at ease.

The caskets I received had beautiful engraving on them. I would 100% recommend anyone to use legacy pets.

Legacy Pets Gave My Romeo the send off he deserved.

What a fantastic service Legacy Pets offer. Everyone I have dealt with has been so kind and compassionate from start to finish. From the lovely man I spoke to on the phone, the vet who came to my home to help my Romeo over the rainbow bridge and the lovely man who came afterwards to take my boy away in a lovely bed with such care and dignity. My best friend was home where he belonged the very next day so I can scatter his ashes in his favourite places.

The care the team at Legacy show is far better than the experiences I've had in the past dealing with previous losses. Thanks so much to all of you.

Worst experience with a Vet. Unprofessional and no empathy. Do not use.

My beautiful boy Bruno was put to sleep by legacy due to ill health. I was recommended to use them.

I have never had such a poor experience with a company meant to care about animals. The Vet they sent - Jack - was completely apathetic. It was undeniably clear that it was just a job to him, a tick box. But it wasn't to me! Bruno was my baby.
The process was rushed. His talk was robotic and you could tell it was just rehearsed. There was no personal service, no building of a relationship - he didn't even stroke him. He seemed bored to be honest. His attire wasn't clean. He looked tired.
It was unprofessional and I felt embarrassed.

This was the biggest decision of my life and the Vet they sent to put my dog to sleep looked bored and tired and did not care.

I WISH i had taken him to my own vets. They at least new Bruno. I thought having him put to sleep at home would be better but it wasn't.

I DO NOT recommend using legacy pets for a home goodbye. Avoid at all costs.

I will say the staff I spoke to on the phone were lovely and tried to understand and support me.

Reply from Legacy Pets Cremation Services

Good morning Evelyn,

Firstly, please accept our sincere condolences to you and your family after the loss of Bruno.

Thank you for bringing your experience to our attention, our Home Euthanasia was set up to provide a peaceful passing for every pet in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by their family. Rest assured, we do not take comments like this lightly – we are an Award Winning service for a reason, and this will NOT be tolerated.

Each of our Vets agree to a strict Code of Conduct prior to working alongside us and are expected to exceed expectations during each of their Home Euthanasia visits.
We strive for excellence here at Legacy Pets and we are devastated to hear that you didn’t receive this with Bruno’s Home Euthanasia.

Although your experience on our Home Euthanasia side of things wasn’t as expected, we can hand on heart promise you that Bruno received the highest level of care by our Crematorium team. We understand this doesn’t change the memories you are left with surrounding Bruno’s passing but we do hope this provides you with some comfort knowing your boy was treated with the respect and dignity he deserved whilst in our care.

We have been operating our Home Euthanasia service for almost two years now and experiences like this are extremely rare. We can only continue to apologise that you unfortunately had to go through this with your boy. We hope based on the high level of care Bruno received with us you wouldn’t hesitate to recommend our Cremation Services to your family and friends.

We would like to reassure you that this is currently being investigated with the Vet mentioned and will be dealt with appropriately to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

Warmest regards,
The Legacy Pets Team

Losing our little boy was heartbreaking but Legacy Pets made it a smooth process

Losing our little boy was heartbreaking but everyone at Legacy Pets made it as smooth as possible. The service is extremely quick and professional. All of the staff we spoke to knew exactly the correct things to say. Fingers crossed we do not need to visit again anytime soon, but when the time comes, we will 100% be choosing Legacy Pets again.

We had to put my beloved Bassett hound…

We had to put my beloved Bassett hound Gertrude to sleep this morning.
Called Legacypets at 9.00am and by 12pm my beautiful hound was put to sleep peacefully in my own home. Both the vet Sheena and the gent who collected Gertie for cremation Shaun, were amazing! Both so empathetic and kind at such a distressing time, this made a massive difference.
The grieving process will be horrific, but this superb company has made this ever so slightly easier.
