Depet is a Madrid-based pet funeral services company consolidating Spain's fragmented pet cremation and memorial market. Founded in 2024 and led by Garós Partners, it has become the largest group by number of crematorium locations in Spain (7 centers) and works with over 500 veterinary clinics. In October 2024 it closed a €5M round (equity plus debt) to fund further crematorium acquisitions and a digital platform for booking funeral services.
