For many families in Cyprus, a dog is not just a pet. They are part of the family, part of daily life, and part of some of our most meaningful memories.When that bond ends, owners need space to grieve with love and dignity. Angels Pet Cemetery in Deftera, Nicosia, was created to offer exactly that.

A peaceful place in Deftera

Angels Pet Cemetery is located in the Deftera area of Nicosia.According to reports, families travel from different parts of Cyprus, including Limassol, Paralimni, and Paphos, to visit the cemetery and remember their pets.The cemetery opened in 2022 and is described as the first licensed pet burial ground in Cyprus. It is set on private land and offers a quiet place where owners can visit, reflect, and leave small personal tributes.

A place for memories

One of the first things visitors see is a memory tree, where owners can hang a small object in memory of their pet.The cemetery includes individual graves with marble headstones, flowers, toys, candles, and personal decorations. There is also a communal grave area with memorial plaques.These small details matter because they help owners feel that their pet’s life was remembered with respect.

Why this matters to pet owners

Losing a dog can be extremely painful.For many owners, having a place to visit helps with grief. It gives them somewhere calm to return to, especially on birthdays, anniversaries, or difficult days.It also gives families a more organised and respectful option instead of burying a pet in a garden or public area, which can create health and legal concerns if it is not done properly.

Services available

Angels Pet Cemetery offers individual and communal burial options.Individual burial gives owners a dedicated grave space for their pet. Communal burial offers a more affordable option while still giving the animal a respectful resting place.The cemetery also offers cremation services through a partner company, with the ashes returned in an urn.Owners can arrange collection from home or from a veterinary clinic, and they may also be present during the burial.

Costs and visits

According to the reported information, individual burial starts at €300 for a small grave and €400 for a large grave for three years. Renewal fees apply after that period.Communal burial is reported at €100 with no further charges.The cemetery is open at weekends, while weekday visits are available by appointment.As prices and services can change, pet owners should always contact Angels Pet Cemetery directly before making arrangements. 

A gentle reminder for dog owners

Thinking about the loss of a pet is never easy.Still, knowing that respectful options exist can give families comfort during one of the hardest moments of pet ownership.For many people, saying goodbye properly is part of honouring the love, loyalty, and companionship their dog gave them.
