How it works in Rangiora
- 1
Your vet contacts us
When your pet has passed at a Rangiora-area veterinary clinic, the clinic places them into a medical-grade CliniCareBag™ and notifies us.
- 2
Same-day collection
We collect from Rangiora clinics same-day on our scheduled route. Outer Waimakariri locations are typically next business day.

Local processing
All cremation happens at our Rangiora facility — your pet does not leave the region or travel inter-island. Every bag is individually numbered and tracked through 23 stages.

Return
Ashes are returned to your veterinary clinic (Essential Care, Heritage Return) or hand-delivered to your home in Rangiora (Signature Private — 48-hour express).
Why a Rangiora-based provider matters
- In-region from start to finish. Collection, cremation, and return all happen within Canterbury — no inter-island courier handoffs, no out-of-region wholesale processing.
- Faster turnaround. Signature Private completes within 48 hours because there is no overnight freight in the workflow.
- Local craft, not imports. Our keepsake catalogue is made by New Zealand artists and makers — rimu and native-timber boxes, ceramic urns, jewellery in pounamu and sterling silver.
- Direct accountability. You can call us. The team you speak to is the team that collects your pet.
