Nested in the vibrant neighborhoods of Malabo, Capitol City, the new pet crematory promises to serve animal lovers with the utmost dignified and compassionate end-of-life services for their cherished pets.

“Mourning the loss of pets is a universal experience,” shares Mr. José MarÃa Ngeuma Owono, Senior Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, “We, along with our partners, want Equatorial Guinean pets and their families to have access to high-quality, professional services that not only honor the life of their pets, but also provide them with the closure and peace their hearts deserve.”
A Tribute to Unconditional Love – The Making of a Cattery
The journey towards pet cremation services in Equatorial Guinea began with a dedicated task force comprising members of The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, members of the Equatorial Guinean Veterinary Association, and the international pet cremation specialists Noc-Tern. It was a labor of love that emphasized the importance of compassion, reliability, and respect in their dealings with the pet owners during every step of the process.
Constituting a crucial component of this multi-stakeholder endeavour, Noc-tern, a UK-based firm excelling in pet crematories and cemeteries operations, provided their expertise and technical knowhow to create a one-of-a-kind pet crematorium in Equatorial Guinea while adhering to the unique requirements outlined by the Ministry.
As families in Equatorial Guinea cope with the loss of their beloved companions – be it dogs, cats or other pets – this beautiful facility will provide a solemn space for them to bid their farewell to their cherished friends, ultimately embracing the healing power of the cremation process.
