Pet Cremation Earlwood | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Earlwood?

Private pet cremation in Earlwood 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 Earlwood 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 Earlwood?

Dog cremation in Earlwood costs the same as for any other pet, beginning 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.

For larger breeds 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 Earlwood home or vet is included, and your dog is cremated alone.

How much is cat cremation in Earlwood?

Cat cremation in Earlwood 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 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 across Earlwood 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 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 Earlwood 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 you feel ready, place your dog or cat on their side on a towel or blanket, gently close their eyes and curl their legs into a natural position. 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 cool and out of direct sunlight.

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

We guarantee collection anywhere in Earlwood 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. After-hours or weekend pickup attracts the fees above, and we will call to confirm the time.

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

Yes. Many Earlwood families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Earlwood and surrounding suburbs, including Campsie, Canterbury, Lakemba, Bexley, Ashfield, Rockdale, and Hurstville.

Provide the clinic name during 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 enter our care.

Do you offer cremation for all pets in Earlwood?

We cremate domestic pets from Earlwood 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 Earlwood?

Yes. We provide small animal cremation throughout Earlwood. 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 your home or vet works just as it does for dogs and cats, with prices starting from the same $540.

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

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

Our drivers gently lift and move large dogs from homes or clinics in Earlwood. Give us your dog’s approximate weight when booking so we can prepare for collection and confirm any surcharge in advance.

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 Earlwood home in your chosen urn or scatter tube, together 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 suitable urn depends on your pet’s weight. Available sizes are 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 generally suit 20 to 35kg, and larger breeds use 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 chosen collection.

Can I scatter my pet’s ashes?

Yes. We seal urns as standard, but you can request an unsealed urn or ashes in a scatter tube if you plan to scatter them. The Private Farewell package provides a scatter tube instead of an urn.

Some Earlwood families remember their pet with a favourite walk around Earlwood Park and Oval 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. Every pet collected in Earlwood receives an individual private cremation. Your pet is cremated alone in a single chamber, and you receive only their ashes, never ashes mixed or shared with another animal.

We do not provide communal or group cremation. Every package, starting 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. They receive a unique tracking tag at collection, and our staff check it repeatedly 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. Because 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, they send 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 a cremation or end-of-life benefit, while others do not. Cover depends on your insurer and policy level, 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 provide a payment receipt and Certificate of Cremation to support your claim.

Which suburbs around Earlwood do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Earlwood and surrounding suburbs, including Campsie, Canterbury, Lakemba, Bexley, Ashfield, Rockdale, and Hurstville.

Every package includes pickup from your home or vet throughout Earlwood and the surrounding suburbs. We also serve the surrounding Earlwood area, including nearby communities. Call 0489 271 267 if you are just outside these areas and we will let you know straight away.
