IT CAN be very distressing when a beloved pet passes away.

At Rainbow Bridge Pet Crematorium, owner Derek Croft, his wife Mary, and son Dominic aim to make things as easy as possible.

Rainbow Bridge, based at Whin Corner in Shafton, opened in January and offers a bespoke service, cremating pets individually and offering a range of urns, caskets and scatter tubes. There is also a farewell room, where pet owners can say goodbye to their pets before cremation.

Rainbow Bridge covers the whole of Yorkshire, Derek is looking to work with vets once animals have been put to sleep.
