Pet Cremation Cronulla | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Cronulla?

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

Every package includes collection from your Cronulla 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 amount you pay.

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

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

How much is cat cremation in Cronulla?

Cat cremation in Cronulla starts from $540. This includes collection from your home or vet, a private individual cremation, a Certificate of Cremation and the return of your cat’s ashes within 10 business days. Families choosing an urn for a cat commonly select The Gesture at $790 or The Memory at $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 to consider. We collect cats from homes and veterinary clinics across Cronulla and the surrounding suburbs, using the same process as for dogs.

Are there any additional fees?

The package price includes everything, including collection and return of the ashes. There are only 3 extra 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 Cronulla 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, 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 shape. 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 out of direct sunlight.

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

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

You receive a 30-minute notification before the driver arrives. Your pet travels in a van prepared with flowers, greenery and a soft bed. For after-hours or weekend pickup, the fees above apply and we will call to confirm the time.

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

Yes. Many Cronulla families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Cronulla and surrounding suburbs, including Caringbah, Miranda, Gymea, Sylvania, Sans Souci, Kirrawee, and Sutherland.

Provide the clinic name when booking and we will organise 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 come into our care.

Do you offer cremation for all pets in Cronulla?

We cremate domestic pets from Cronulla homes and vets, 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 Cronulla?

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

As small pets produce less ash, many families choose a small urn from The Gesture or The Memory collection, or a keepsake for the home. We collect from home or a vet just as we do for dogs and cats, with prices starting from the same $540.

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

We accept pets up to 100kg, covering almost every dog breed. Large breeds up to 50kg are charged the standard package price. Between 50kg and 100kg, a 20% surcharge is added to the package price for the extra handling and cremation time.

Our drivers move large dogs gently, whether collecting from a home or clinic in Cronulla. Tell us your dog’s approximate weight when booking so we can prepare for pickup and quote 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. Our team hand-delivers them to your Cronulla 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 correct urn depends on your pet’s weight. Our sizes cover 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 fits the 20 to 35kg range, and larger breeds require the sizes above it.

You do not need to determine 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?

Yes. We seal your pet’s urn by default, but you can request an unsealed urn or have the ashes returned in a scatter tube if you plan to scatter them. The Private Farewell package provides a scatter tube instead of an urn.

Some Cronulla families remember their pet with a favourite walk along The Esplanade or at Gunnamatta Park, where dogs are welcome on leash. Scattering ashes 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 individual private cremation for every pet collected in Cronulla. Your pet is cremated alone in a single chamber, and you receive only their ashes, never ashes mixed or shared with other animals.

We do not provide communal or group cremation. Every package, from the $540 Private Farewell upwards, is a fully private cremation with a Certificate of Cremation confirming it.

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 staff check it repeatedly at every stage, from the van to the crematorium and back to your door.

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

Who is Buddy?

Buddy carries out your pet’s cremation. After booking, you receive notifications from them with updates as your pet passes 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. Cover depends on your insurer and level of cover, so check your 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 Cronulla do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Cronulla and surrounding suburbs, including Caringbah, Miranda, Gymea, Sylvania, Sans Souci, Kirrawee, and Sutherland.

Collection from your home or vet is included in every package throughout Cronulla and the surrounding suburbs. We also cover the nearby surrounding areas, and you can call 0489 271 267 if you are just outside them so we can let you know straight away.
