About Us

Who we are

Rainbow Bay Pet Cremations is the only local, family owned pet crematorium in the South West of WA. Tim and Sharyn Vanderbeek opened Rainbow Bay Pet Cremations in January 2017. We understand first hand the grief and trauma involved in losing your beautiful companion, we will do everything to make this difficult time as easy as possible for you and to have your pet back with you within just a week as we understand how much that will help with grieving for them. Our buisness is located in Cowaramup, between Vasse and Margaret River and we live just around the corner in Yallingup.

We love pets

Tim began exploring options for opening a pet crematorium in 2012, Sharyn has been a vet for over 20 years and now works as an emergency vet where she constantly faces helping pet owners deal with the most difficult decision for their pets.

We know that people losing their loved companions down here do not want them to have to go to Perth to be cremated.

We offer our pet cremation service as a unique and respectful way for people to keep their cherished friends after they pass over the rainbow bridge.

Our pets

Bill

April 2001 – Oct 2014

We lost our life long love Bill 6 years ago. He was a rescue from the Busselton pound we saved from euthanasia. He was 60kgs and was such a gentle giant, he loved water and would go diving in our dam and haul out 3-4kg rocks

Rory

13/02/15 – 23/02/2017

In February 2017 we came home from work to find our gorgeous 2 year old Jack Russel ‘Rory’ already gone probably from a snake bite. The devastation we felt as a whole family was shattering. The kids cried for days, we think and talk about him and his antics daily.

Holly

Born 2005 – 10/04/2021

This is my beautiful Holly I hand reared her about 12 years ago, she can leave to join the wild Roos at any time but chooses to stay with us, her fave position in Bazza’s bed! Holly unfortunately left us on 4/10/21 she was 16 years old which is very old for a roo, we miss her and her amazing antics every day.

Bazza

2014-30/3/22

Bazza was a goofy loving dog, he passed quickly after getting inoperable bone cancer. Huey and Bazza were great friends and had lots of fun together.

Huey

Born 2017

Huey is a large wolfhound x lab. We rescued him from SAFE Busselton in 2018. He is a gorgeous dog and has lots of fun with us, the kids adore him and he gets to sleep on one of their beds every night. He loves bush walks and swimming/retrieving.

Doug

Doug was a rescue from my work, saved from euthanasia. He is an interesting character.

He looks to be a cross between a jack russel/kelpie/blue heeler. He is very energetic. He is very bonded to Huey who acts as his prop and gets worried whenever Huey is out of his sight!
