Peace of Mind When You Need It Most

When you lose a pet, the last thing you want to worry about is whether they’re being treated with respect. You need to know your companion is in caring hands, that the process is dignified, and that you’ll receive exactly what you expect.

Our individual cremation process means your pet is cremated alone. You receive only their ashes, never mixed with others. We handle everything with the same care you’d want for any family member.

You’ll have closure knowing exactly what happened, when it happened, and that your pet was treated with the dignity they deserved throughout their life with you.

Simple Process, Complete Transparency

First, we arrange pickup from your home, vet office, or you can bring your pet directly to our facility. We offer same-day service when you need it most.

Your pet is then prepared for individual cremation in our climate-controlled facility. We provide you with detailed documentation of the entire process, including timing and identification procedures.

After cremation, we carefully collect and process the remains. You can choose from our selection of urns, or we’ll return the ashes in a temporary container. Most cremations are completed within 24-48 hours.

We also create paw print impressions and can preserve fur clippings as keepsakes if you’d like lasting mementos of your companion.

What's Included With Every Cremation

Every pet cremation includes individual processing, detailed documentation, and basic urn options. We never rush the process or cut corners to save time.

You’ll receive a certificate of cremation with your pet’s information and the date of service. If you need additional death certificates for insurance or other purposes, we can provide those as well.

Memorial products like engraved urns, garden stones, and jewelry are available if you want something special to honor your pet’s memory. Many North Shadydale families choose our handcrafted wooden urns made by local artisans.

We also offer viewing rooms if you want to say a final goodbye before the cremation process begins. There’s no pressure and no additional charge for this service.

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

We use individual cremation for every pet, which means your companion is cremated alone in our chamber. Before the process begins, we place a numbered metal identification tag that stays with your pet throughout cremation. This tag number matches your paperwork and ensures proper identification. We also document the entire process with timestamps and photos for our records. You’re welcome to tour our facility anytime to see exactly how we maintain identification and separation protocols.
Most cremations are completed within 24-48 hours from pickup. The actual cremation process takes 2-4 hours depending on your pet’s size, but we allow additional time for proper preparation and cooling. If you need expedited service due to travel or other circumstances, we can often accommodate same-day completion for an additional fee. We’ll give you an exact timeframe when you schedule service, and we always call when your pet’s ashes are ready for pickup or delivery.
We work directly with most veterinary offices in North Shadydale and can arrange pickup from your vet’s location. Your veterinarian will typically refrigerate your pet until we arrive, usually within a few hours of your call. You can either meet us at the vet’s office or we can handle the transfer directly with their staff. We’ll need your authorization and payment information, but the vet’s office can often help coordinate everything so you don’t have to make an additional trip during an already difficult time.
We accept cash, credit cards, and checks for cremation services. While we don’t offer extended payment plans, we do accept CareCredit for families who need financing options. Many pet insurance policies also reimburse cremation costs, and we can provide detailed receipts for your insurance claims. Our pricing is transparent with no hidden fees, and we’ll discuss all costs upfront so there are no surprises. We believe cost shouldn’t prevent you from giving your pet a dignified farewell.
Yes, we allow family members to witness the beginning of the cremation process if that provides comfort during your grieving. We ask that you call ahead to schedule witness services so we can ensure privacy and proper timing. Some families find this helps with closure, while others prefer to remember their pet as they were. There’s no right or wrong choice, and we support whatever decision feels right for your family. Our staff will explain what to expect and guide you through the process respectfully.
We specialize in individual cremation because most families want the assurance of receiving only their pet’s ashes. However, we also offer communal cremation at a lower cost for families who don’t need the ashes returned. With communal cremation, multiple pets are cremated together and the ashes are not returned to families. We can also arrange private cremation services where you’re the only family scheduled that day, though this typically requires advance planning. We’ll explain all options so you can choose what feels right for your situation and budget.
