Pet Cremation Process

Simple, Transparent Steps You Can Count On

First, we arrange pickup from your home, vet clinic, or you can bring your pet directly to our facility. We’ll coordinate timing that works for your situation and explain exactly what happens next.

Your pet is then prepared for individual cremation in our on-site crematory. Individual means your pet is cremated alone, so you receive only their ashes back. The process typically takes 2-4 hours depending on your pet’s size.

After cremation, ashes are carefully collected and placed in a temporary container or urn of your choice. We’ll contact you when everything is ready for pickup, usually within 24-48 hours. You can also request delivery if that works better for your family.

Throughout the entire process, your pet is treated with dignity and respect. No rushing, no corners cut, no uncertainty about what’s happening. Just professional care when you need it most.

What's Included in Your Service

Individual pet cremation means your companion is cremated alone, and you receive only their ashes. This is different from communal cremation where multiple pets are cremated together. You get the assurance that what you receive back is actually your pet.

We handle pets of all sizes, from small birds and cats to large dogs. Pickup service is available throughout Shoreacres and nearby areas, or you can bring your pet to our facility. We work with most local veterinary clinics and can coordinate directly with them.

Memorial options include basic temporary containers, decorative urns, and keepsake items like paw print impressions. Pricing is straightforward with no hidden fees for basic services. We’ll explain all costs upfront so you can make decisions without pressure or surprises.

The entire process typically takes 1-3 days from pickup to return, depending on your specific needs and our current schedule. Rush services are available when families need faster turnaround times.

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

Individual cremation means your pet is cremated alone in our crematory chamber. We use identification tags that stay with your pet throughout the entire process, from pickup through ash collection. Your pet never gets mixed with others, and we maintain detailed records for every cremation. This is different from communal cremation where multiple pets are cremated together and ashes aren’t returned to families. When you choose individual cremation, you can be confident that what you receive is your companion’s ashes.
The actual cremation takes 2-4 hours depending on your pet’s size, but the full process from pickup to return typically takes 24-48 hours. Larger dogs require more time than smaller pets. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we schedule pickup and contact you as soon as everything is ready. If you need faster service due to travel or other circumstances, rush processing is available for an additional fee. We don’t rush the process unnecessarily, but we understand that some families need quicker turnaround times.
Individual cremation pricing is based on your pet’s weight, starting around $150 for small pets under 30 pounds and increasing for larger animals. This includes pickup, individual cremation, and return in a basic temporary container. Additional services like decorative urns, paw print impressions, or rush processing have separate fees. We provide complete pricing upfront before you commit to anything. No hidden charges for basic pickup, cremation, or return services. Payment can be made when we pick up your pet or when you collect the ashes.
Yes, we work with most veterinary clinics throughout Shoreacres and surrounding areas. Many pet owners prefer to have their companion picked up directly from their vet, especially if the euthanasia happens there. We coordinate timing with the clinic staff and handle all the logistics. You can also arrange pickup from your home if that works better for your situation. There’s no additional charge for pickup from established veterinary partners, though some locations farther from our facility may have a small travel fee.
We offer several ways to memorialize your pet beyond basic cremation. Decorative urns range from simple wooden boxes to more elaborate ceramic or metal options. Paw print impressions in clay capture your pet’s unique print as a keepsake. Some families choose to keep a small portion of ashes in a pendant or smaller keepsake urn. We can also arrange for ashes to be incorporated into memorial stones or other custom items through our partners. These memorial services are optional, and we’ll explain all options without any pressure to purchase additional items.
While some families ask about witnessing the cremation, most find that it’s not necessary for peace of mind once they understand our individual cremation process. Our facility is designed for operational efficiency rather than viewing, and the actual cremation process can be emotionally difficult to watch. However, you’re welcome to visit our facility to see where your pet will be cared for, and we’re happy to answer any questions about our procedures. The identification system and individual cremation process we use provides the assurance most families are looking for without the emotional difficulty of witnessing the actual cremation.
