Silvermere Haven Pet Cemetery & Crematorium

Silvermere Haven, a pet cemetery and crematorium in Cobham

Silvermere Haven Pet Cemetery & Crematorium operates from Byfleet Road in Cobham, Surrey, on grounds described as an open meadow where deer and other wildlife are frequent visitors. The site states that its grounds are open to the public throughout the year. It is part of The Pet Crematoria Family, a trading name of Anima Care UK Limited, and sits alongside other crematoria and cemeteries listed by the group, including Valley, Whitley Brook, Greenacres, Durham, Larkhall and Rossendale.

The cemetery has served as a resting place for family companions for more than fifty years, according to the information published by the company. The meadow is presented as a place to visit across the seasons, from bluebells in April to summer days, autumn colour and misty winter mornings.

Cremation options and the Gold Leaf collection service

The crematorium offers both individual and communal cremation. In the case of communal cremation, the company explains that the pets entrusted to this service are carefully scattered and returned to the earth in a special corner of the meadow, marked according to each month.

Alongside standard cremation, the company lists a Gold Leaf service, described as a personalised collection service for the deceased pet. A remembrance room can also be booked as a private space in which families may see their companion before the burial or cremation service takes place.

Burial in the meadow and memorial products

For families who prefer burial, Silvermere Haven supports the planning and arrangement of the service and helps secure a plot or plots suited to the family's needs. The company also offers a range of caskets, keepsakes and urns.

The published service list is completed with equine cremation, which appears among the group's general services, and with guidance material on ash scattering, pet loss and grief, planning ahead, supporting children after the loss of a pet, ways to remember a pet and what to do when a pet dies at home.

Families, veterinary practices and bereavement support

Silvermere Haven works directly with families and with veterinary practices across a broad area: Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hampshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, West Midlands, Norfolk, Suffolk, Hertfordshire, Kent, London, Oxfordshire, Surrey and Sussex.

The company states that its team is accredited with the Blue Cross to provide bereavement support. It also stresses that its pet and equine crematoria are not owned or operated by a veterinary corporate group, which it presents as a way of working in partnership with practices of any size or ownership under the same standards.

Professional membership and corporate structure

The company identifies itself as a member of the International Association of Pet Cemeteries and Crematoria (IAOPCC), which it describes as a global leader in advancing education, professional excellence and ethical standards in the pet aftercare profession.
