I'm so sorry jellybean . You must be heartbroken & shocked, especially as you had everything in place to help him. It doesn't help to see Ben struggling too. It was on this day last year that I lost Bezukhov. I think the bond was greater between me & Bezukhov than he & the other three, so I only had to deal with my grief. As Marianne Marlow said, mine are cremated. I have made pillows for them all: Link to blog post.
Fly high Max, & have fun with all our feathery friends over at Rainbow Bridge.

Vets sometimes have access to a service too, so you might want to check with them. I have also used Sunnyfields.

jellybean im so very sorry to be reading this . We were away last week and i caught up a bit last night and read your thread about poor Max. As Hezz said there was probably something else going on with him alongside his lump. If you contact your vet they will be able to deal with a cremation for you or put you in touch with the right people. Fly high in fields of millet sweet beautiful Max and a hug for you jellybean x

I'm so sorry jellybean, you tried so hard. He had such a lovely life with you . These little creatures really take over our hearts.
If you don't want him cremated I would be willing to bury him in my garden with Jo and my hamsters.
Big hugs, xxx

Thank you Sue. I am so touched by your kind offer. I'm hoping when I speak to my Brother later, that he will let me bury Max in his garden.
Don't think Ben knows what to do with himself, he has been quite vocal and talking to his mirrors, dont know how he'll be at night, locked in and going to bed alone.
He's probably coping today better than me, I just can't pull myself together.

I’m so so sorry jellybean. I just wish words could take some of the pain away but we are all thinking of you. I hope this doesn’t sound too morbid for everyone but I got Squawk cremated which the vet arranged with a company called PCS. He is in a box on the side with his plastic Percy on the top next to my chair. All my animals are being cremated and when the time comes for me our ashes are all going to be mixed together and we’ll be scattered to fly high together forever.

Thank you Jane, I really appreciate everyone's kind words. I can't get my head straight today to decide what to do with my gorgeous boy. Ben looks so lost in this big cage on his own. I've dreaded this day when one of them would be left alone.

I am so sorry, jellybean. I'm gutted for both you and Ben. You two need to look after each other, I hope Ben isn't too distraught. Max was a very lucky bud to have had the pair of you in his life. I'm sure your brother will give him a space in his garden so that you know Max is in a good place. Rest in Peace, dear little Max. You had a good life with Ben and JB who loved and will never forget you; I think we all loved you a little as well. xxx

I'm so sorry Jellybean. You and Ben both loved Max so much and you took wonderful care of him. I was really hoping that his medication would help him stay with you both for much longer. The photo you posted is lovely and Max had a wonderful life with you. Hugs to you and Ben xxx

I don't know what was wrong with him,it was more than a fatty liver, but I'll never find out. He was a little character, I'll miss him forever.
