The Cemetery & Crematorium for Domestic Pets is set in the quiet Sussex countryside near East Grinstead and within easy reach of London and the coast. Established in 1969, the CCDP offers a sensitive and professional service for the burial or cremation of companion animals.
As a founder member of The Association of Private Pet Cemeteries and Crematoria (APPCC) we work in an open and ethical manner and are committed to the highest standards of professional conduct and client care. Click on the link at the bottom of the page to visit the Association web site.
We initially concentrated on providing a first-class service for individual cremations and burials. The actual crematorium is a small, purpose built unit which will comfortably accept the largest of domestic pets. Our procedures are to set to ensure the highest possible standards. Ashes from individual cremations may be returned to owners - we have a number of different presentations depending on your tastes and your intentions for the ashes. Alternatively they may be scattered or buried in memorial plots within the cemetery grounds.
In 1992 a decision was made to provide a respectful alternative to the individual service by introducing a facility for communal cremation. While the dignified handling remains the same, several pets are cremated together with all the ashes being collected after the final cooling. These are buried in known areas of the Cemetery grounds which are later developed into memorial beds with shrubs and flowers. Clients may have memorials placed in these beds.
A collection service is available from your home or Veterinary surgery, or you are welcome to bring your pet to us. Appointments may be made by telephone and any details or special requests discussed.
