Peace of Mind When You Need It Most

Losing a pet feels like losing family. You’re dealing with grief, making decisions you never wanted to make, and wondering if you’re doing right by the companion who gave you years of unconditional love.

You need more than just a service. You need someone who understands that your dog, cat, or other beloved pet wasn’t “just an animal” – they were part of your daily routine, your comfort, your family.

When you choose individual pet cremation, you’re choosing closure on your terms. You’ll receive only your pet’s ashes, returned to you in a respectful timeframe. No wondering, no worrying about what happened. Just the peace of knowing your companion was treated with the same love and respect they showed you every day of their life.

Angel Oaks Pet Crematory

We Understand What Your Pet Meant

Angel Oaks Pet Crematory serves North Houston families who refuse to treat their pet’s final care as just another transaction. We’re a local crematorium that recognizes the human-animal bond isn’t something you get over quickly.

Every pet that comes through our facility receives individual attention and respectful handling. We’ve built our reputation in the North Houston community by doing exactly what we say we’ll do – treating your companion with dignity and returning them to you when promised.

Your pet mattered to you. They matter to us too.

Pet Cremation Process

A Clear Process During Unclear Times

The cremation process starts when you bring your pet to our North Houston facility, or we can arrange pickup if you prefer. We’ll walk you through the paperwork without rushing you, and answer any questions about what happens next.

Your pet is placed in our cremation chamber individually – never with other animals. The cremation process typically takes 2-3 hours depending on your pet’s size. We use high-temperature cremation that reduces your pet’s body to bone fragments, which are then processed into the fine ash you’ll receive.

After cremation, we carefully collect your pet’s ashes and place them in a basic urn or container of your choice. Most families receive their pet’s ashes within 3-5 business days. We can also discuss memorial options like engraved urns, paw print keepsakes, or other ways to honor your companion’s memory.

Individual Pet Cremation Services

What's Included in Your Service

Individual cremation means your pet is cremated alone, and you receive only their ashes. This isn’t a shared service – your companion gets the same individual attention in death that they received in life.

Your service includes professional handling from our licensed facility, cremation in our on-site crematorium, and return of ashes in a basic urn. We provide pickup services throughout North Houston if you’re not able to bring your pet to us during this difficult time.

We also offer memorial options like custom urns, clay paw prints, and other keepsakes. These aren’t required, but many families find comfort in having something tangible to remember their pet. Pricing is straightforward – we’ll explain all costs upfront so you can make decisions without surprises.

How long does the pet cremation process take?

The actual cremation takes 2-3 hours depending on your pet’s size, but you’ll typically receive your pet’s ashes within 3-5 business days. This timeframe includes the cremation process, cooling period, and careful collection of ashes. We can expedite service if you need faster turnaround, though we never rush the process in a way that compromises the respectful handling your pet deserves. If you need your pet’s ashes for a specific memorial service or timeline, let us know when you bring them in and we’ll work with your schedule.

What's the difference between individual and communal cremation?

Individual cremation means your pet is cremated alone, and you receive only their ashes back. Communal cremation means multiple pets are cremated together, and the ashes are not returned to families. Most pet owners choose individual cremation because they want their specific pet’s ashes for burial, scattering, or keeping in an urn. Individual cremation costs more than communal, but it guarantees you’re receiving only your companion’s remains. We only offer individual cremation at Angel Oaks because we believe every pet deserves that level of individual care and attention.

Do you offer pickup services in North Houston?

Yes, we provide pickup services throughout North Houston for families who can’t bring their pet to our facility. This service is especially helpful when you’re dealing with a larger dog, don’t have transportation, or are simply too overwhelmed to make the trip during your grief. We’ll coordinate a pickup time that works for your schedule, and handle your pet with the same care and respect as if you brought them in personally. Pickup service does include an additional fee to cover travel time and transportation, which we’ll explain when you call to arrange service.

How much does pet cremation cost in North Houston?

Pet cremation costs vary based on your pet’s size and the services you choose. Individual cremation for cats and small dogs typically starts around $200, while larger dogs cost more due to the additional time and resources required. Memorial options like custom urns or paw print keepsakes are additional. We provide clear, upfront pricing when you call or visit – no hidden fees or surprise charges during an already difficult time. Payment is due when you drop off your pet or arrange pickup, and we accept cash, check, or credit cards for your convenience.

Can I visit your crematorium facility?

Absolutely. We encourage families to visit our North Houston facility if they’d like to see where their pet will be cared for. Some pet owners find comfort in seeing our cremation equipment and understanding the process, while others prefer not to visit during their grief – both approaches are completely normal. If you’d like to tour our facility, call ahead and we’ll arrange a time when we can walk you through our process and answer any questions. We believe transparency helps families make informed decisions and provides peace of mind during a difficult time.

What happens if my pet dies at the veterinarian's office?

Many veterinary offices in North Houston work with us directly, so your vet may be able to coordinate cremation services for you. If your vet doesn’t have an existing relationship with us, you can still arrange for cremation by calling us directly. We can often pick up your pet from the veterinary office, which saves you from having to transport them during an already emotional time. Some families prefer to bring their pet home first for a final goodbye, while others find it easier to arrange cremation directly from the vet’s office. Either option works – we’ll coordinate with you and your veterinarian to handle the logistics respectfully.
