Not every site wants — or is able to build — a dedicated structure to house an incinerator or cremator. Our containerised option puts the machine inside a fully enclosed 20ft or 40ft shipping-container-style unit, giving you a weatherproof, biosecure, all-in-one enclosure that protects the equipment, the operator, and the surrounding site without needing new construction or additional planning permits in most cases.
Beyond straightforward protection from weather and unauthorised access, containerised housing is popular with pet cremation businesses and clinics that care about how the equipment looks from the outside — optional wooden cladding lets the container blend into a residential or public-facing setting rather than looking like industrial equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the container work with any incinerator model?
Yes — each containerised solution is tailored to the specific machine going inside it, whether that’s a medical incinerator or a pet cremation unit, to ensure proper airflow and safety compliance.
Do we need planning permission for a containerised installation?
In most cases, a containerised unit avoids the need for additional planning permits that a new building would require, though we’d still recommend confirming with your local planning office for your specific site.
Can we make the container blend into a residential-style setting?
Yes, optional wooden feather-edge cladding is available to give the container a more natural, less industrial appearance — a common choice for pet crematoriums with a public-facing presence.
What's included for ventilation and exhaust?
Every containerised unit includes an appropriate extraction system along with a weatherproof membrane around the chimney to keep rain and debris out.
