Losing a pet is one of the hardest goodbyes any family can face. At Rainbow Bridge Pet Funerals, we provide compassionate, individual pet cremation for families across Wigan, with personal support, transparent care and dignified aftercare from start to finish.

As Bolton’s first and only APHA-approved pet crematorium, we are proud to offer a family-run alternative to large corporate providers. Every pet is cared for by our own small team throughout the entire process.

We regularly support families throughout Wigan and surrounding areas including:

• Hindley
• Standish
• Ashton-in-Makerfield
• Leigh
• Atherton
• Tyldesley
• Golborne
• Orrell
• Shevington
• Ince-in-Makerfield
• Abram
• Platt Bridge
• Pemberton
• Billinge

INDIVIDUAL PET CREMATION
We understand how important reassurance and trust are when saying goodbye to a beloved pet.

With our individual pet cremation service:

• Your pet is cremated individually
• Only your pet’s ashes are returned to you
• Ashes are usually returned within 48–72 hours, often sooner
• Collection from home or your veterinary practice can be arranged
• Families can choose an attended cremation appointment if preferred

Every individual cremation also includes:

• Scatter tube
• Certificate of individual cremation
• Digital paw or nose print keepsake
• Fur clippings (where possible)
• Vial of token ashes

A FAMILY-RUN PET CREMATORIUM
Rainbow Bridge Pet Funerals is independently owned and operated by husband and wife James and Michelle Bancroft alongside their daughter, Mya.

We are not part of a national chain or corporate group. From your first phone call through to the return of your pet’s ashes, your pet remains in our personal care.

Our phones are answered by real people, 24 hours a day.

COLLECTION AVAILABLE ACROSS WIGAN
We can arrange respectful collection of your pet from your home or veterinary practice using our dedicated pet ambulance service.

Many families across Wigan choose this option for the comfort and privacy it provides during an incredibly difficult time.

Free collection is available within 20 miles of Bolton, with wider coverage available across Greater Manchester and surrounding areas.

ATTENDED PET CREMATION
Some families wish to spend additional time saying goodbye to their pet. We offer attended pet cremation appointments in our peaceful Rainbow Room, allowing families to be present and personally say farewell before the cremation takes place.

We never rush families and always aim to provide a calm and supportive environment.
