ABOUT US
Our facilities are located on our family farm, five minutes from St. Margaret's Hope in South Ronaldsay, Orkney. Here, we guarantee an individual and dignified cremation of your pet.
It is important to us that we offer a timely service and aim to provide a same day cremation, allowing for you to collect or receive your ashes as soon as possible. We will arrange the collection and delivery at a time to suit you.
During this difficult time, we can liaise directly with your veterinary practice to make the arrangements. Should you not be based on the Orkney mainland, we can also help arrange transportation using Orkney's internal and external ferry services.
We welcome questions and enquiries at any time and visits to Oback can be arranged by appointment.
