The consent form

You do not need to print this, or fill it in. It is here so you can read it before the day, in your own time. Your vet goes through it with you in the clinic, and nothing happens until you have signed.

What this form is for

When you have decided to say goodbye, this is the one form you sign with us.

It gives us your permission to go ahead, and it writes down exactly what you want to happen afterwards: the cremation you have chosen, whether their ashes come home to you, and the keepsakes you would like.

It is there for you. On a day when it is hard to think, your wishes are written down, so nothing is left to memory and nothing is misunderstood.

It is there for us too. It is our clear record that we have your permission, and that we know exactly what you want for them.
