Trusted Pet Crematorium in Houston

Local Family Business You Can Trust

Angel Oaks Pet Crematory has been serving South Houston families during their most difficult moments. We’re not a corporate chain shipping pets across state lines – we’re your neighbors who understand that losing a pet means losing a family member.

Our facility is right here in South Houston, and we work directly with local veterinarians who trust us with their clients’ companions. When you choose individual cremation, that’s exactly what happens – no shortcuts, no mixing, no exceptions.

We built this business because pet families deserve better than uncertainty and generic service during grief.

Pet Cremation Process Explained

Simple Process, Complete Transparency

First, we pick up your pet from your veterinarian or arrange a time that works for your family. You’ll receive a tracking number and know exactly when the cremation will take place.

During individual cremation, your pet is the only one in the chamber. The process takes 2-3 hours depending on size, and we maintain complete tracking throughout. No mixing, no confusion, no wondering.

Afterward, we carefully process the ashes and place them in your chosen urn or container. You receive a certificate of cremation with all the details, plus your pet’s ashes returned exactly as promised. Most families have everything back within 24-48 hours, with same-day service available when needed.

How do I know I'm getting my own pet's ashes back?

Every pet receives individual cremation with a tracking system from start to finish. Your pet gets a unique identification number that stays with them throughout the entire process. We never mix pets or do group cremations when you choose individual service. You’ll receive a certificate of cremation with your pet’s information, cremation date, and tracking details. The chamber is thoroughly cleaned between each cremation, and we maintain detailed records of every step. This isn’t just our policy – it’s how we’d want our own pets treated.
The actual cremation takes 2-3 hours depending on your pet’s size, but most families have their pet’s ashes back within 24-48 hours of pickup. We offer same-day service when you need it faster – just let us know your timeline. The process includes pickup, cremation, careful processing of ashes, and return in your chosen container. We don’t rush anything, but we also understand that some families need closure quickly. Weather and scheduling can occasionally add a day, but we’ll always give you an accurate timeframe upfront.
Individual cremation means your pet is the only one in the cremation chamber, and you receive only your pet’s ashes back. Group cremation means multiple pets are cremated together, and the ashes are typically scattered or buried – you don’t get ashes back. Some places offer “partitioned” cremation where pets are separated by dividers, but we believe individual cremation is the only way to guarantee you’re getting your own pet back. It costs more than group cremation, but most families find the peace of mind worth it when they’re already saying goodbye.
Yes, we pick up from most veterinary offices in the South Houston area at no extra charge. We also offer home pickup for families who prefer that option, though there may be a small fee depending on location and timing. Many families find it easier to leave their pet with their trusted veterinarian, but we understand some want to say goodbye at home. We work with your schedule and preferences during an already difficult time. Just let us know what works best for your family, and we’ll make it happen.
Individual cremation pricing varies by pet size, starting around $150 for small pets and going up for larger dogs. This includes pickup from participating veterinary offices, individual cremation, basic urn, and certificate of cremation. Additional memorial products like upgraded urns or paw prints are available but optional. We provide exact pricing upfront with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Many veterinary offices can give you our current pricing, or you can call us directly. We know cost matters when you’re already dealing with veterinary bills, so we keep pricing straightforward and honest.
We welcome facility tours by appointment because we believe transparency builds trust. You can see exactly where your pet will be cared for and how our process works. Witnessing the cremation is also possible, though most families choose not to. Some find it provides closure, while others prefer to remember their pet as they were. There’s no right or wrong choice – we support whatever helps your family through this difficult time. Tours take about 15 minutes and help many people feel confident about their decision to choose individual cremation.
