Pet Cremation Services
Deciding what to do with a beloved pet after their passing is a very personal decision. In San Diego, most owners elect for pet cremation, although some elect to bury their pet at home where permitted by law.
Pet parents may make their own arrangements, or we may assist you by making the arrangements for you with a pet crematorium that is respectful, trustworthy and personalized.
And if your pet has passed at home naturally, we can come to your home and assist with the aftercare option of your choice.
Options:
- Communal pet cremation: Ashes are not returned to the owner and are respectfully scattered at sea. Prices begin at $175 and are based on the weight of the pet.
- Individual pet cremation: Your pet’s own ashes will be in a cedar, acacia, or biodegradable urn, along with a clay paw print and a fur clipping. We proudly offer water cremation. Our in-house water cremation services are environmentally friendly and return 20% more to families, compared to traditional fire cremation. We offer traditional fire cremation upon request with a partner cremation facility. We will care for your pet with honor, dignity, and compassion.
