More and more people are seeking support following the death of a pet…

“In the last 10 years, the number of people getting in touch has almost trebled, from 6,240 in 2013 to 17,367 in 2022.”

“But it's a kind of grief that society doesn't always understand. According to psychologists, pet owners can feel embarrassed when talking about the emotional impact the death of an animal has had on them, making it tricky to process their grief.” - Gemma Peplow for Sky News

At the Greater London Pet Crematorium, we validate all grief experiences, especially pet bereavement.

Gemma shares a number of pet loss related stories in this article - read more below…

“It's normal to feel intense grief after the death of a pet.” - Diane James (2021)

Many people seek support from organisations, such as Blue Cross UK, after the death of a pet; in 2020, they were contacted by over 14,200 people regarding pet loss.

Diane James highlights several reasons for why we grieve for our pets:
* Companionship: the death of a pet can be the loss of an important or perhaps sole companion for some people.
* Echoing past losses: losing a pet can emulate a previous loss, echoing the grief that came with it too.
* Loss of assistance: some individuals lose support and arguably a lifeline with the death of their pet.

Check out Diane’s article “Dealing with the death of a pet” on Cruse Bereavement Support and website for more on this important, yet still overlooked, topic.

Our sister organisation Bereavement Services, Lambeth recently collaborated with the South London Botanical Institute.

The amazing SLBI told us that you can find crocuses, buds of cherry plum, blue grey hellebores and daffodils in West Norwood Cemetery and across all of our sites during Springtime.

Did you know one of the earliest vegan pioneers is buried in our cemetery?

C. Arthur Ling (1919-2005) was instrumental in the creation of the Plantmilk Society, a spin-off from the Vegan Society.

In the early 1960s, he set up ‘Plamil Foods Ltd’ Plamil Foods which went on to produce the first British-made soya milk in 1965.

Arthur was a dedicated vegan, pacifist, egalitarian, libertarian, naturist, nature lover and gardener. Plamil Foods Ltd is now being run by Arthur’s son, Adrian.

Thanks to the Friends of Streatham Cemetery, Tooting, London SW17 for their amazing research - we’re so lucky to be situated in such a culturally and historically rich site!

Studies show that losing a pet can be as painful, if not more, than losing a loved one.

When your beloved animal passes away, you’re not only losing a pet but a companion, routine and emotional support. Despite this, pet bereavement amd its effects are so often overlooked.

With Bereavement Services, Lambeth, we’re aiming to change the culture surrounding one of the hardest, yet most certain things in life.

Feel free to ask any questions about our service in the comments below, our DMs or inbox on [email protected].

* Do not let young children run and shout
* Be aware of subsidence as this can be particularly hazardous around even slightly overgrown plots
* Take any litter you accumulate with you
