Pet Cremation Manly | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Manly?

Private pet cremation in Manly starts from $540 with our Private Farewell package, which returns your pet’s ashes in a scatter tube. The Gesture costs $790 and includes an urn plus a fur keepsake, The Memory is $890 with an urn, framed paw print and daily keepsake, and The Legacy is $1,190 with an urn, 2 keepsakes and a premium keepsake.

Every package includes collection from your Manly home or vet, an individual private cremation, a Certificate of Cremation and hand delivery of the ashes within 10 business days. The only extras are the after-hours, weekend and over-50kg fees listed further down this page, so the booking price is the price you pay.

How much does it cost to cremate a dog in Manly?

Dog cremation in Manly costs the same as cremation for any other pet, starting from $540 for a private cremation with ashes returned in a scatter tube, or $790 to $1,190 with an urn and keepsakes. Small, medium and large dogs cost the same up to 50kg.

For large breeds over 50kg, including Great Danes, Mastiffs and some Rottweilers, a 20% surcharge applies to the package price. We accept dogs up to 100kg. Collection from your home or vet in Manly is included, and your dog is cremated individually, never with other animals.

How much is cat cremation in Manly?

Cat cremation in Manly starts from $540. This covers collection from your home or vet, an individual private cremation, a Certificate of Cremation and your cat’s ashes returned within 10 business days. Families choosing an urn for a cat often select The Gesture ($790) or The Memory ($890), which include a fur keepsake or framed paw print.

Cats almost always fit the smallest urn size, up to 5kg, so there is no size surcharge. We collect cats from homes and veterinary clinics throughout Manly and the surrounding suburbs, using the same process as for dogs.

Are there any additional fees?

Your selected package includes everything, including collection and return of the ashes. There are only 3 additional charges, and we will explain them before you confirm your booking:

After-hours fee (Monday to Friday, before 9am or after 5pm): +$165
Weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and public holidays: +$250
Pets over 50kg: a 20% surcharge on the package price

If you book an after-hours collection, we may not be able to come until the next day, depending on which drivers are available in the Manly area. Either way, our team will contact you to confirm a pickup time, so you won’t be left waiting without knowing when we’ll arrive.

What should I do if my pet dies at home?

Take a moment before doing anything. There is no need to hurry. When ready, place your dog or cat on their side on a towel or blanket, gently close their eyes and position their legs naturally in a curled pose. Do this within the first couple of hours, before stiffness begins. Put an old towel underneath because some fluid release is normal, and keep them in a cool place away from direct sunlight.

Then book online or call us on 0489 271 267. In Manly we collect from your home within 24 hours, and same day if you book before 2pm on a business day. If other pets in the house want to sniff or sit with them before pickup, that’s fine and can help them understand.

How quickly can you collect my pet in Manly?

We guarantee collection anywhere in Manly and the surrounding suburbs within 24 hours of confirming your booking. Book before 2pm on a business day and we can usually collect that day during business hours at no extra cost. Bookings after 2pm are arranged for the next available collection.

A notification arrives 30 minutes before the driver reaches you. Your pet travels in a van prepared with flowers, greenery and a soft bed. The additional fees above apply to after-hours or weekend collection, and we will call to confirm the time.

Can you pick up my dog or cat from a vet in Manly?

Yes. Many Manly families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Manly and surrounding suburbs, including Freshwater, Brookvale, Dee Why, Frenchs Forest, Collaroy, Narrabeen, and Belrose.

Provide the clinic name when booking and we will arrange collection directly with the vet, so you do not need to transport your pet. Vet collection is included in every package at no extra cost, and your pet receives a tracking tag as soon as they enter our care.

Do you offer cremation for all pets in Manly?

We cremate domestic pets from Manly homes and veterinary clinics, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, ferrets, reptiles and other small animals. Pets up to 100kg are accepted. We cannot cremate horses or other livestock.

Every pet gets the same private cremation, the same tracking and the same Certificate of Cremation, whatever their size. The price is the same for a dog, cat, rabbit or bird, with a 20% surcharge only for pets over 50kg. If you’re unsure whether we can help with your pet, call us on 0489 271 267 and we’ll talk it through.

Can you cremate a rabbit, guinea pig or bird from Manly?

We provide small animal cremation throughout Manly. Rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, rats, mice and lizards are each cremated individually in a single chamber, so only your pet’s ashes are returned.

Small pets produce less ash, so many families choose a small urn from The Gesture or The Memory collection, or a keepsake for the home. We collect from your home or vet as we would for a dog or cat, with prices starting from the same $540.

Is there a size limit for large dog cremation in Manly?

Pets up to 100kg are accepted, covering almost every dog breed. Large breeds up to 50kg pay the standard package price. From 50kg to 100kg, the package price includes a 20% surcharge for additional handling and cremation time.

Our drivers handle and move large dogs gently, whether collecting from a home or clinic in Manly. Give us your dog’s approximate weight when booking so we can prepare for collection and explain any surcharge upfront.

How soon will I get my pet’s ashes back?

Your pet’s ashes are returned within 10 business days, considerably sooner than the 3-week industry average. Our team hand-delivers them to your Manly home in your chosen urn or scatter tube, with any keepsakes, the tracking ID and Certificate of Cremation.

We’ll contact you beforehand with the delivery date, so you know when to expect them. If that day doesn’t suit, call us on 0489 271 267 and we’ll work something out.

Which urn size do I need for my dog or cat?

The right urn depends on your pet’s weight. Sizes are available for pets up to 5kg, 5 to 20kg, 20 to 35kg, 35 to 50kg and over 50kg. Most cats, rabbits and small dogs fit the smallest size, a Labrador generally falls within 20 to 35kg, and larger breeds require the sizes above that.

There is no need to calculate this alone. Tell us your pet’s approximate weight when booking and we will match an urn from your selected collection.

Can I scatter my pet’s ashes?

Your pet’s urn is sealed by default, but tell us if you would like to scatter the ashes and we can provide an unsealed urn or return them in a scatter tube. The Private Farewell package includes a scatter tube instead of an urn.

Some Manly families remember their pet with a walk along the Manly Scenic Walkway before choosing a garden or another favourite place for scattering. Scattering on your own property is generally fine, but check with the local council or landholder before using parks, beaches or other public land.

Are your cremation services private?

Always. We guarantee an individual private cremation for every pet collected in Manly. Your pet is cremated alone in a single chamber, and you receive only their ashes, never ashes mixed or shared with other animals.

Communal and group cremation are not offered. Every package, from the $540 Private Farewell upwards, is fully private and includes a Certificate of Cremation confirming this.

How do I know it’s my pet’s ashes?

Your pet is tracked from the moment they enter our care. They receive a unique tracking tag at collection, and our team checks it repeatedly at every stage, from the van to the crematorium and back to your door.

The ashes are returned with your pet’s tracking ID and Certificate of Cremation. Since each cremation is individual, the ashes belong only to your pet.

Who is Buddy?

Buddy are the service providers who carry out your pet’s cremation. After booking, you will receive their notifications with updates as your pet moves through each stage.

You can still contact our team at any time throughout the process, before or after pickup, on 0489 271 267. We stay your point of contact from booking right through to the return of your pet’s ashes.

Does pet insurance cover cremation?

Some pet insurance policies include cremation or an end-of-life benefit, while others do not. Coverage depends on your insurer and level of cover, so check the product disclosure statement or contact your insurer before booking if you intend to claim.

When your policy covers cremation, we can provide a payment receipt and Certificate of Cremation to support your claim.

Which suburbs around Manly do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Manly and surrounding suburbs, including Freshwater, Brookvale, Dee Why, Frenchs Forest, Collaroy, Narrabeen, and Belrose.

Collection from your home or vet is included in every package throughout Manly, North Manly, Manly Vale and the surrounding suburbs. If you are just outside these areas, call 0489 271 267 and we will let you know straight away.
