Pet Cremation Concord | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Concord?

Private pet cremation in Concord starts at $540 with our Private Farewell package, which returns the ashes in a scatter tube. The Gesture costs $790 and includes an urn and 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 covers collection from your Concord home or vet, a private individual 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 shown later on this page, so the booking price is the amount you pay.

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

Dog cremation in Concord is priced the same as cremation for any other pet, starting at $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.

A 20% surcharge on the package price applies to dogs over 50kg, including some Great Danes, Mastiffs and Rottweilers. Dogs are accepted up to 100kg. Collection from your Concord home or vet is included, and your dog is cremated individually.

How much is cat cremation in Concord?

Cat cremation in Concord starts at $540 and includes collection from home or a 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 at $790 or The Memory at $890, which include a fur keepsake or framed paw print.

Most cats fit our smallest urn size, up to 5kg, so no size surcharge applies. We collect cats from homes and veterinary clinics across Concord and the surrounding suburbs, following 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 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 Concord 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 your time first, as 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 somewhere cool and shaded from direct sunlight.

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

We guarantee collection throughout Concord and the surrounding suburbs within 24 hours after your booking is confirmed. Book before 2pm on a business day and we can usually collect during business hours that day 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 and weekend collections attract the fees listed above, and we will call to confirm the time.

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

Yes. Many Concord families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Concord and surrounding suburbs, including Strathfield, Burwood, Five Dock, Lidcombe, Ashfield, Campsie, and Auburn.

Provide the clinic name during booking and we will organise collection directly with the vet, meaning you do not have to transport your pet. Veterinary collection is included in every package, and a tracking tag is attached as soon as your pet comes into our care.

Do you offer cremation for all pets in Concord?

We cremate domestic pets collected from Concord homes and vets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, ferrets, reptiles and other small animals. Pets are accepted up to 100kg. 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 Concord?

Yes. Small animal cremation is available across Concord. Rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, rats, mice and lizards are each cremated alone in one chamber, so only your pet’s ashes are returned.

As small pets produce less ash, many families select a small urn from The Gesture or The Memory collection, or choose a keepsake for the home. Collection from home or a vet works just as it does for dogs and cats, with prices starting at the same $540.

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

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

Our drivers move large dogs carefully from homes or clinics in Concord. Give us your dog’s approximate weight at booking so we can prepare for collection and include any surcharge in the upfront quote.

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

Your pet’s ashes are returned within 10 business days, well before the 3-week industry average. We hand-deliver them to your Concord home in your selected 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 appropriate 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 use the smallest size, Labradors generally fit 20 to 35kg, and larger breeds require the sizes above that.

There is no need to determine this alone. Share your pet’s approximate weight when booking and we will select the suitable urn from your chosen collection.

Can I scatter my pet’s ashes?

Yes. Urns are sealed by default, but we can provide an unsealed urn or return the ashes in a scatter tube if you plan to scatter them. The Private Farewell package includes a scatter tube instead of an urn.

Some Concord families remember their pets at a favourite local spot such as Majors Bay Reserve, or in the garden. Scattering on your own property is generally acceptable, while public land requires checking with the local council or landholder first.

Are your cremation services private?

Always. Every pet collected in Concord receives an individual private cremation. Your pet is cremated alone in a single chamber, and the ashes returned are theirs only, never mixed or shared.

We do not provide communal or group cremation. Every package, beginning with the $540 Private Farewell, 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. A unique tracking tag is attached at collection, then checked repeatedly by our team at every stage, from the vehicle to the crematorium and back to your door.

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

Who is Buddy?

Buddy is the service provider that carries out your pet’s cremation. After booking, Buddy sends notifications with updates 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 include cremation or end-of-life cover, while others do not. This depends on your insurer and level of cover, so check the product disclosure statement or speak with your insurer before booking if you intend to claim.

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

Which suburbs around Concord do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Concord and surrounding suburbs, including Strathfield, Burwood, Five Dock, Lidcombe, Ashfield, Campsie, and Auburn.

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