Memorial cremation - With a memorial cremation service, several pet companions are cremated at the same time. The remains are then interred on our grounds. Please note: when selecting a memorial cremation service, remains are not returned to you. There is no additional cost over base euthanasia fee for this service.

Semi-private cremation - More than one pet companion is placed in the crematory during the cremation process, but they are in separate areas of the crematory and remain segregated throughout the process ~ the ashes do not get mingled. As with the private cremation service, you will receive only your pet companions remains returned to you in decorative floral tin marked with their name, identification number and a certificate of cremation. Cost for this service is $55 to $245 dependent on animal size.

Private cremation - As with human cremation, your pet companion is placed alone in the crematorium during the cremation process. Your companions remains are returned to you in a decorative floral tin marked with their name, identification number and a certificate of cremation. Cost for this service is $100 to $325 dependent on animal size.
