Houston Heights Pet Cremation Services

What's Included in Every Service

Every home pickup includes individual cremation, basic urn, and return of your pet’s ashes. You’re not paying extra for what should be standard service. We also provide a certificate of cremation for your records.

Memorial options are available if you want something special to honor your pet’s memory. This might include upgraded urns, paw print impressions, or other keepsakes. These are optional additions, not requirements, and we’ll discuss what feels right for you.

Houston Heights pet owners often ask about witnessing the cremation process. We understand how important this is, which is why individual cremation is our standard service, not an upgrade. We also offer walk-in witness cremations seven days a week—the only local service that does.

How quickly can you pick up my pet from my Houston Heights home?

We offer 24/7 pickup service seven days a week because pet loss doesn’t happen on a convenient schedule. In most cases, we can arrange same-day pickup, often within a few hours of your call.If you need more time to say goodbye, that’s completely fine too. We’ll work around your timeline, not the other way around. Some families want immediate pickup to help with closure, while others need a day or two to process and let family members say their farewells.The important thing is that you don’t feel rushed during an already difficult time. When you’re ready, we’re ready.

Do you really guarantee that I'll only receive my pet's ashes back?

Yes, absolutely. We perform true private cremation, meaning your pet is the only one in the cremation chamber during the entire process. This is different from “individual” or “segregated” cremation that other providers offer, where multiple pets may be in the same chamber with dividers.Our individual cremation process ensures there’s no possibility of mixing ashes. Your pet goes in alone, and only their ashes come out. We provide a certificate of cremation that documents this process for your records.This isn’t an upgrade or premium service—it’s how we handle every cremation because we believe that’s what your pet deserves and what gives you the peace of mind you need during this time.

How long does the cremation process take from pickup to getting ashes back?

The actual cremation process takes 2-4 hours depending on your pet’s size, but your pet’s ashes are typically ready for pickup within 24-48 hours. This timeframe includes the cremation itself, cooling period, and careful collection of ashes.We don’t rush this process because it’s too important to hurry. If you need your pet’s ashes sooner due to travel plans or other circumstances, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate.Some families need more time before they’re ready to pick up ashes, and that’s completely understandable. We’ll hold them safely until you’re ready, whether that’s a few days or a few weeks.
