Poland’s first boutique dedicated to pet cremation ceremonies and funerals has opened in Wilanow, Warsaw, offering intimate services, psychological support, and customizable memorials.
About the Service
“Lumida” offers intimate pet funeral ceremonies, psychological support, and customizable memorials in a quiet, minimalistic setting with the option of a celebrant present.
The service will not charge based on animal weight and emphasizes dignity and grief accompaniment over logistics.
Market Context
The increasing number of pets in Polish households, with over 50% of homes reporting ownership, has led to growing demand for personalized pet funeral services.
While laws treat pets as secondary animal by-products, legal cremation and burial facilities are necessary for proper disposal, reducing the risk of illegal home burials.
Cost and Availability
Polish pet cremation services vary in cost, with individual cremations priced around several hundred to one thousand dollars depending on weight and additional services.
Challenges and Controversy
Rural areas report controversies and protests from residents, though small-scale facilities face limited environmental regulation in Poland.
