About Services

Private cremation means your pet is cremated individually, and only your pet’s ashes are returned to you. Shared cremation means pets are respectfully cremated together, and ashes are not returned. Both options are carried out with dignity and care.
Private cremation remains are returned within 7 days. We know how important it is to have your companion home again quickly, so we make this a priority.
We currently offer quality wood urns in a variety of sizes. These urns are included with private cremation services. Families who prefer may also keep ashes in a container of their choosing.
