Harbourside Pet & Equine Cremations was born from a passion for redefining pet aftercare with a blend of compassion and experience. Founded by Alby and Rachael Koster, our journey began over 30 years ago in the funeral services industry. Witnessing a gap in the pet cremation landscape, we set out to create a haven where every pet is honoured with the dignity they deserve.
Our story is one of dedication to providing solace during moments of loss. Alby and Rachael’s extensive background in the funeral industry laid the foundation for Harbourside, ensuring that each pet’s journey is treated with the same reverence as any cherished family member. Our commitment to transparency, individualised care, and prompt service has made Harbourside a trusted name for those seeking a compassionate farewell for their beloved companions.
At Harbourside, we uphold the values of dignity and respect in every aspect of pet and equine aftercare. Our commitment is a solemn pledge to honour the unique bond you share with your cherished companions.
With profound empathy, we ensure a compassionate farewell, guaranteeing individualised cremation for dogs, cats, birds, horses, and all beloved friends. Harbourside is a sanctuary where dignity, respect, and compassion converge, creating a meaningful farewell for your treasured companions.
