Compassionate Pet Cremation Services

Peace of Mind During Difficult Times

When you’re facing the loss of your beloved companion, you shouldn’t have to worry about what happens next. You need services that handle everything with dignity while giving you the space to grieve.

Our individual pet cremation process means your pet is cremated alone, and you receive only their ashes back. No mixing with other pets, no uncertainty about what you’re receiving. Just the peace of mind that comes from knowing your companion was treated with the same love and respect they showed you.

You’ll have your pet’s remains returned to you in a respectful manner, allowing you to create the memorial or final resting place that feels right for your family. Whether that’s keeping them close at home, scattering in a favorite spot, or creating a garden memorial, the choice is entirely yours.

Pet Cremation Process Explained

Simple Steps, Respectful Process

The process starts with either bringing your pet directly to our facility or arranging pickup from your veterinarian’s office or home. You’ll discuss your preferences for cremation and any memorial products you might want.

Your pet is then prepared for individual cremation, meaning they’re placed alone in the cremation chamber. This ensures complete separation from any other pets and guarantees you receive only your companion’s ashes. The cremation process typically takes 2-4 hours depending on your pet’s size.

After cremation, the ashes are carefully collected and placed in either a basic container or an urn of your choosing. You’ll receive a certificate of cremation along with your pet’s remains. Most families can expect to have their pet’s ashes returned within 24-48 hours, though same-day service is often available for those who need it sooner.

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

Every pet at Angel Oaks receives individual cremation, meaning your companion is placed alone in the cremation chamber with no other pets present. Each pet is tracked through the entire process with identification tags, and the cremation chamber is thoroughly cleaned between each use. You’ll receive a certificate of cremation that documents your pet’s individual process, and many families find comfort in knowing their pet was treated with the same individual care they received in life. This individual approach is standard for all cremations, not an upgraded service.
The actual cremation process takes 2-4 hours depending on your pet’s size, but most families receive their pet’s ashes within 24-48 hours of drop-off. Same-day service is often available if you need your pet’s remains returned more quickly due to travel or other circumstances. The timeline includes preparation, the cremation itself, cooling time, and careful collection of the ashes. If you’re working with a veterinarian, they can often coordinate timing to make the process as smooth as possible during an already difficult time.
Pet loss doesn’t follow business hours, and we understand that families often need immediate assistance. Emergency pickup services are available for after-hours and weekend situations, though additional fees may apply for these urgent calls. Many local veterinary offices can also provide temporary care for your pet until normal business hours resume. We work to accommodate urgent situations whenever possible because we know how important it is for families to have their pet handled respectfully as soon as possible after passing.
While most families choose not to remain during the actual cremation, viewing before the process is available for those who need that final goodbye. Some families find comfort in seeing the cremation chamber and understanding exactly how their pet will be cared for, while others prefer to remember their companion as they were in life. We respect whatever choice feels right for your family and can explain the entire process in detail if that helps with your decision. There’s no right or wrong way to handle this deeply personal moment.
We provide individual cremation services for pets of all sizes, from small birds and hamsters to large dogs and even some exotic pets. The cremation process is adjusted based on your pet’s size, but every animal receives the same respectful, individual treatment regardless of whether they weigh two pounds or 200 pounds. Pricing varies by size, but the level of care and attention remains consistent. If you have questions about whether your specific type of pet can be accommodated, we can discuss options that work for your situation.
Memorial options range from simple wooden urns to decorative ceramic pieces, metal urns, and biodegradable options for families planning earth burial or scattering. Keepsake jewelry that holds a small portion of ashes is available for family members who want to keep their pet close, and memorial stones or plaques can be created for garden memorials. We can show you available options and help you choose something that fits both your budget and the way you want to remember your companion. Custom engraving is available on most memorial products to personalize your pet’s tribute.
