A family held a funeral for a Koi Carp after it died aged 20-years-old.
The majestic fish, which did not have a name, belonged to a man who had spent many hours looking after the "wonderful” pet with his wife.
When the husband died, the seven-kilo fish continued to be cared for until its death last week.
The owners of the crematorium, which has held services for mice, rats, dogs, cats and even a tarantula, said the ceremony was the first of its kind.
The fish was laid to rest at Nottingham's Pet Crematorium on Tuesday (February 16).
It lay on a traditional funeral bier in the Rainbow Bridge Marquee, which had been put up outside the main crematorium building.
It allows relatives more space to spend with their loved ones and to social distance, Nottinghamshire Live reports.
Owner Rita Harbury-Carlisle said: "The owner called and wanted to have a cremation for the fish because it was very special. She brought the fish in and we put it on a funeral bier.
"We have been open 25 years and we have had fish previously but this is the first Koi Carp we have had in.
"We have had mice, rats, cats and dogs. Nothing is unusual for us because they are all very much loved by their owners.
"The husband had looked after the fish for 20 years. He had passed away and then the fish had passed away."
The fish was cremated and placed into a scattering box. It is now up to the family what they want to do with the ashes.
