Pet Cremation Cherrybrook | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Cherrybrook?

Private pet cremation in Cherrybrook starts from $540 with our Private Farewell package, which returns the 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 Cherrybrook 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 later on this page, so the booking price is the price you pay.

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

Dog cremation in Cherrybrook costs the same as cremation for any other pet, starting from $540 for a private cremation with the 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 dogs over 50kg, including Great Danes, Mastiffs and some Rottweilers, a 20% surcharge applies to the package price. Dogs up to 100kg are accepted. Collection from your Cherrybrook home or vet is included, and your dog is cremated alone, never with other animals.

How much is cat cremation in Cherrybrook?

Cat cremation in Cherrybrook starts from $540. This includes collection from your home or vet, a private individual 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 generally fit our smallest urn size, up to 5kg, so no size surcharge applies. We collect from homes and veterinary clinics across Cherrybrook and the surrounding suburbs, using the same process as for dogs.

Are there any additional fees?

Your chosen 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 Cherrybrook 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 little time first, as there is no need to hurry. When you are 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 curl. Do this within the first couple of hours, before the body stiffens. Put an old towel underneath because some fluid release is normal, and keep them cool and out of direct sunlight.

Then book online or call us on 0489 271 267. In Cherrybrook 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 Cherrybrook?

Collection anywhere in Cherrybrook and the surrounding suburbs is guaranteed within 24 hours of booking confirmation. 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. After-hours or weekend collections incur the fees above, and we will call to confirm the time.

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

Yes. Many Cherrybrook families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Cherrybrook and surrounding suburbs, including Castle Hill, Pennant Hills, Dural, Baulkham Hills, Hornsby, Carlingford, and Epping.

Provide the clinic name when booking and we will organise collection directly with the vet, meaning 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 Cherrybrook?

We cremate domestic pets collected from Cherrybrook homes and vets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, ferrets, reptiles and other small animals. Pets up to 100kg are accepted. Horses and other livestock cannot be cremated.

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 Cherrybrook?

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

Small pets produce less ash, so many families select 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 pricing starting from the same $540.

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

Pets up to 100kg are accepted, covering almost every dog breed. Large breeds up to 50kg receive the standard package price. For pets from 50kg to 100kg, the package price has a 20% surcharge for the additional handling and cremation time.

Our drivers move large dogs carefully from homes or clinics in Cherrybrook. 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, well ahead of the 3-week industry average. We hand-deliver them to your Cherrybrook home in the urn or scatter tube you selected, along 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 required urn size is based on your pet’s weight. We offer sizes 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, Labradors usually fit 20 to 35kg, and larger breeds require the sizes above that.

You do not have to decide this alone. Share 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 plan 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 rather than an urn.

Some Cherrybrook families remember their pets during gentle walks through the suburb’s parks and bushland setting before choosing a garden or another favourite place for scattering. Scattering on your own property is generally fine, while public land requires checking with the local council or landholder first.

Are your cremation services private?

Always. We guarantee an individual private cremation for every pet collected in Cherrybrook. 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 cremations 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?

We track your pet from the moment they enter our care. A unique tracking tag is attached at collection, and staff check it repeatedly at every stage, from the van to the crematorium and back to your door.

Your pet’s tracking ID and Certificate of Cremation accompany the returned ashes. Since every cremation is individual, the ashes belong only to your pet.

Who is Buddy?

Buddy carries out your pet’s cremation as the service provider. After booking, you receive notifications from them as your pet progresses 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 provide a cremation or 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 your payment receipt and Certificate of Cremation to support the claim.

Which suburbs around Cherrybrook do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Cherrybrook and surrounding suburbs, including Castle Hill, Pennant Hills, Dural, Baulkham Hills, Hornsby, Carlingford, and Epping.

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