Nottingham Pet Crematorium makes "cool" donation to QMC
The Nottingham Pet Crematorium has donated Ward D58 at Queens Medical Centre with a new water cooler to make staff and patients feel comfortable during the recent spell of hot weather.
Rita and John Harbury-Carlisle, owners of the West Bridgford based Nottingham Pet Crematorium, have previously donated several fans, a coffee machine, toiletries and even clothes in pre-covid time.
The new water cooler will be available for both staff and patients on the ward.
Healthcare assistant Erica Stanley, who received the cooler on behalf of the hospital, said: “This is an amazing gesture from the owners of Nottingham Pet Crematorium. We would like to thank them very much. We need every donation possible, even more so during this covid pandemic. Every donation helps in such a big way. The Nottingham Pet Crematorium have been wonderful supporters over the years.”
Rita said: “We knew they were desperate for help and we are always delighted to assist the Queens Medical Centre. The recent spell of hot weather did not help. We like to do what we can to make peoples stay in hospital as comfortable as possible.”
The Nottingham Pet Crematorium is a family partnership run by Yorkie breeder Rita Harbury-Carlisle and her husband John. The couple are pet lovers who once ran the Antara Luxurious Dog Hotel. They now concentrate on their 25-year-old Cremation service, complete with chapels of rest and farewell rooms.
The Nottingham Pet Crematorium is the only service of this kind in the East Midlands that has been Independently Inspected and Approved by the Association of Pet Cemeteries and Crematoria.
