A Personal Promise of Care

Hello, I'm Alan — and this is my devoted furry child, Doug.

Wigan Pet Farewells is more than a business; it's a calling that grew from my own deep love for animals, and from personal experience with the pain of saying goodbye to beloved pets. I know how pets become treasured members of our families, and I believe every family deserves support that's both genuinely compassionate and thoughtfully personal.

When you choose Wigan Pet Farewells, you are choosing the comfort of a truly personal service. As a sole trader, I am the only person you and your pet will ever deal with from start to finish. From the moment you make contact, to the way I care for your companion, you can trust there will be no handovers, no unfamiliar faces — just consistent, dedicated attention from someone who treats each pet as if they were my own.

Why I Brought This Service to Wigan

Southport Pet Farewells now has 65 five-star reviews from families who trusted me with their companions. Every single one matters to me.

I started getting calls from Wigan, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Hindley — families who'd heard about our service or found us online. Some travelled to Southport. Others asked if I'd collect from Wigan.

I realised: the care shouldn't depend on your postcode.

So I opened Wigan Pet Farewells. Same me, same van, same personal service. The only difference is I now route through Wigan to bring this care closer to you.

What You Get

  • I collect from your Wigan home or vet at no extra charge

  • Your pet travels with me to our Southport family crematorium

  • I personally oversee every cremation — no outsourcing, no strangers

  • I return ashes to your Wigan door, usually within 72 hours

About Our Southport Crematorium

All cremations take place at our dedicated Southport facility — a purpose-built, private crematorium just 25 minutes from Wigan. I'm transparent about this because hiding it would break the trust you place in me. The facility is where I can guarantee the highest standards of care for your pet, and I'm proud to bring that same dedication to Wigan families.

What Matters to Me

  • Kindness and empathy, always

  • Complete transparency in every part of my service

  • Personal attention for every family — because your pet's story matters

To me, this work isn't just about a service or a product, but about honouring lives with true care and warmth. If you'd like to know more about how I work or simply need someone to listen, please know you're welcome to reach out at any time, on 01942 944882.

With heartfelt wishes,

Alan
