Our Story

Meet Alice & Sam

We first met in Cornwall 18 years ago and have built our home and family here . For nearly two decades, we’ve had the privilege of supporting families across the county — and this work remains at the heart of everything we do. We know how overwhelming it can feel to say goodbye to a loved one, and we’re here to bring calm, compassion, and clarity when you need it most.

“It’s our promise to make this journey as gentle and stress-free as possible — for you, your loved one, and your family.”

Client Testimonial

We cannot recommend Alice highly enough. Our aging and very timid Lola found going to the vets really stressful until she had Alice as her vet. Alice's calm and gentle nature was just what Lola needed, and we were honoured that Alice came to our home when Lola's time came. Alice facilitated Lola's departure to be respectful, calm and peaceful. We could not have asked for more, and we will always be grateful to Alice for what she did.
