Opening September 2026

When the time comes to say goodbye to a beloved pet, placing them into someone else’s care requires an enormous amount of trust. We are grateful to everyone who entrusts their pet to us during such an important moment in their lives. Being chosen to care for your pet at the end of their life’s journey is both a privilege and a responsibility we never take for granted.

We know that every pet who comes into our care is deeply loved, and that every owner experiences loss in their own way. That’s why we care not only for your pet, but also for the people saying goodbye. From your very first conversation with us, you’ll be met with kindness, honesty and compassion, and supported in whatever way you need.

We know that peace of mind comes from knowing exactly who is caring for your pet. That’s why you’ll always deal directly with us, receive personal support throughout, and know exactly what happens at every stage.

Every pet is treated with the same love, dignity and respect we would want for our own. Every cremation is carried out individually, giving you complete confidence that the ashes returned to you are those of your much-loved pet.

Resting Paws is an independent pet crematorium based in Annfield Plain, County Durham, providing individual pet cremation services to pet owners across the North East.
