Hi, I’m Helen, and together with my husband Ian, we felt that Spring 2025 was the perfect moment to bring our vision of a pet crematorium to life. That’s how Infinity was born. We’re proud to be based in the beautiful village of Thornton-le-Dale, just outside Pickering – a peaceful place that reflects the care and compassion at the heart of what we do.
I grew up on my family’s farm just outside Pickering, and Ian is a Thornton lad through and through. We’ve both spent most of our lives working in the agricultural sector, and a love for animals has always been at the centre of who we are. We’ve had pets all our lives and know first-hand how deeply they become part of the family. Today, our home is shared with four dogs, three cats and two horses – six of them rescues – and each one reminds us daily why the work we do at Infinity matters so much.
Before beginning our Infinity journey, I spent six years working in a local veterinary practice, witnessing first-hand how heartbreaking it is when the moment comes to say goodbye to a beloved pet. Those experiences never leave.
So when the opportunity arose, we knew exactly what we wanted to create – a private, family-run pet crematorium where every pet is treated with dignity, every farewell is individual, and every family is supported with genuine compassion. Infinity was born from that commitment, and it will forever remain at the heart of everything we do.
