Harris County Pet Crematory

Trusted Since 1989 in Texas

Angel Oaks Pet Crematory has been serving families throughout Harris County and the greater Houston area since 1989. For over three decades, we’ve understood that losing a pet isn’t just losing an animal—it’s losing a family member.

What sets Angel Oaks apart is our commitment to transparency and compassion. We’re the only local service offering walk-in witness cremations seven days a week, because we know grief doesn’t follow business hours. Our unique pet portal software lets you track your pet’s journey, providing the peace of mind you need during this difficult time.

With two full-time veterinarians on staff and membership in the American Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement, Angel Oaks combines professional expertise with genuine understanding of what pet families go through.

Private Pet Cremation Process

Simple, Transparent, and Respectful

The process starts with a phone call. We can pick up your pet from your home, your veterinarian’s office, or you can bring them to our facility—whatever feels right for you during this difficult time.

Your pet is then placed in their own individual cremation chamber. No sharing, no mixing with other pets. The cremation process takes place at high temperatures, typically between 1,400 to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, reducing your pet’s remains to clean, pure ashes.

After cremation, the ashes are carefully collected and placed in your chosen urn or container. Most families receive their pet’s ashes within 24-48 hours, though we often provide even faster turnaround. Throughout the entire process, you can track your pet’s journey through our pet portal system, ensuring complete transparency when you need it most.

Chateau Woods Animal Cremation

What's Included in Your Service

Every private cremation includes individual processing in a dedicated chamber, ensuring you receive only your pet’s ashes. Your pet’s remains are returned in a quality urn with a cremation certificate, and any metal items like tags or medical implants are carefully collected and included.

For Chateau Woods families, we provide convenient pickup throughout Montgomery County and the greater Houston area. We understand that many families in this community view their pets as integral family members, which is why we offer witness cremation services seven days a week—something no other local provider offers.

We also serve the diverse Chateau Woods community with bilingual services, recognizing that grief transcends language barriers. Military families, first responders, and rescue organizations receive a 10% discount as recognition for their service to the community.

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

We use individual cremation chambers, meaning your pet is cremated alone with no other animals present. Each pet is assigned a unique identification number that stays with them throughout the entire process. Our pet portal system allows you to track your companion’s journey from pickup to return of ashes. You’ll know exactly when each step occurs, providing complete transparency during this difficult time. Additionally, any metal items like tags, collars, or medical implants are carefully collected and returned with your pet’s ashes as further confirmation. This individual approach costs more than communal cremation, but it ensures you receive only your pet’s remains—giving you the peace of mind you deserve when saying goodbye to a beloved family member.

How long does the pet cremation process take?

Most families receive their pet’s ashes within 24-48 hours, though we often provide faster turnaround—sometimes by the next morning. The actual cremation process takes 2-4 hours depending on your pet’s size. What makes Angel Oaks different is our commitment to quick service during your time of grief. While other crematoriums might take a week or more, we understand that waiting extends your pain. Our efficient process and dedicated staff work to return your pet’s ashes as quickly as possible without compromising care or dignity. The timeline can vary slightly during busy periods or if you choose witness cremation, but we will always give you a realistic expectation upfront so you’re never left wondering when you’ll be reunited with your companion’s remains.

Can I witness my pet's cremation?

Yes, we are the only local crematory offering walk-in witness cremations seven days a week. Many families find comfort in being present for their pet’s final moments, and we accommodate this need even on weekends and holidays. Witness cremations provide closure for many pet parents who want to ensure their companion is treated with dignity throughout the process. You can observe the entire procedure from a comfortable viewing area, and our compassionate staff will explain each step if you wish. This service requires advance scheduling, and we typically accommodate witness cremations first thing in the morning. There’s an additional fee for witnessed cremation, but many families find the peace of mind invaluable during their grieving process.

What happens if my pet passes away after hours?

We understand that pets don’t pass away on a schedule. We provide pickup services throughout Harris County and surrounding areas, including Chateau Woods, even during evenings and weekends. When you call our main number, you’ll reach someone who can help coordinate pickup within a reasonable timeframe. While there may be additional fees for after-hours service, we prioritize getting your pet into our care quickly so you don’t have to worry about storage or transport during an already difficult time. Our relationship with veterinary clinics throughout the Houston area also means that if your pet passes at an emergency vet, arrangements can often be made for us to handle pickup directly from the clinic, simplifying the process for grieving families.

How much does private pet cremation cost?

Private cremation costs vary based on your pet’s size, with prices typically ranging from $200-$600 for most dogs and cats. This includes individual cremation, a quality urn, cremation certificate, and return of any metal items. We offer a 10% discount to military families, first responders, and rescue organizations as recognition for their service. Additional services like witness cremation, premium urns, or memorial items are available for an extra fee. While private cremation costs more than communal options, you’re paying for the assurance that you receive only your pet’s ashes, individual attention throughout the process, and the peace of mind that comes with our 35+ years of trusted service in the Harris County community.

What cremation options do you offer besides private?

We focus primarily on private cremation because most families want their pet’s individual ashes returned. However, we can arrange communal cremation for families who prefer a more affordable option and don’t need ashes returned. With communal cremation, multiple pets are cremated together, and the combined ashes are not returned to families. This option costs significantly less but doesn’t provide the individual attention and certainty that comes with private cremation. Given that most Chateau Woods families view their pets as family members, we recommend private cremation for the peace of mind and closure it provides. Our staff can discuss all options during your initial consultation to help you choose what feels right for your family and budget.
