Southern Sky Pet Crematorium

05/02/2026

When a pet passes away, typically the first port of call for many people would be to their veterinary practice, but that is because many people don’t realise that there is an alternative option.

We often hear from people after their pets have passed away, say “we wished we’d known about your services before”.

Southern Sky Pet Crematorium is an independent, family-run pet crematorium offering individual cremations only, with a personal and compassionate service.

We want people to know that if they choose Southern Sky, they will know their pets final journey, they will know their pet will be treated with the care and respect that they deserve and they will know that they will receive 100% of their beloved pets ashes back.

We can collect your pet from your home, your vets or you are welcome to bring your pet to us.

Also, using a private crematorium is cheaper than using your vet’s cremation service, and your pet can be back home where they belong, the same day, the next day or at a time to suit yourself.

We are located on Carr Lane just outside the village of East Stockwith, near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.

We rely on word of mouth recommendations and advertising to let people know that we are here.

If you would like to arrange a visit or would like to have a chat with us about the services that we provide, then please call us on 01427 700169

THE RIGHT TIME? ASSESSING QUALITY OF LIFE

As pet carers, the decision about whether or not to have a precious animal companion euthanised (or ‘put to sleep’) is one that many of us will have to face. If you have a pet that’s terminally ill or very old, the chances are that the topic of euthanasia will be on your mind.

You may have a lot of questions.

Should you let nature take its course? Is euthanasia preferable to a ‘natural’ death? Will you know when it’s the right time?

The question of timing can be one of the most daunting – we don’t want to let go too soon but what if we leave it too late?

People will often tell you that you’ll know when it’s the ‘right’ time to euthanise a pet but the reality is that it isn’t always obvious, especially if your pet is experiencing a slow decline.

We are proud to offer a euthanasia service for pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own surroundings with Rainbow Crossings.

Rainbow Crossings’ founder Dr Monica Diaz is a qualified veterinarian and has been practicing in the UK for over 20 years. She has a special interest in dermatology and soft tissue surgery and dedicates much of her spare time to volunteering with pets and wildlife worldwide.

Monica is driven by a deep belief in the human-animal bond and approaches her work with compassion and empathy, especially in preserving that bond during our beloved pets’ final moments.
