Pet Cremation Greystanes | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Greystanes?

Private pet cremation in Greystanes 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 is $790 with 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 includes collection from your Greystanes 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 Greystanes?

Dog cremation in Greystanes costs the same as 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. Pickup from your Greystanes home or vet is included, and your dog is cremated alone, never with other animals.

How much is cat cremation in Greystanes?

Cat cremation in Greystanes starts from $540. This includes collection from your home or vet, a private individual cremation, a Certificate of Cremation and return of your cat’s ashes within 10 business days. Families choosing an urn for a cat most often select The Gesture ($790) or The Memory ($890), including 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 Greystanes and the surrounding suburbs, using the same process as for dogs.

Are there any additional fees?

Your chosen package includes everything, including pickup 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 Greystanes 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 during the first couple of hours, before stiffness develops. 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 Greystanes 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 Greystanes?

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

You receive a notification 30 minutes before the driver arrives. Your pet travels in a van prepared with flowers, greenery and a soft bed. After-hours or weekend pickups attract the fees above, and we will call to confirm the time.

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

Yes. Many Greystanes families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Greystanes and surrounding suburbs, including Smithfield, Merrylands, Westmead, Toongabbie, Guildford, Parramatta, and Wetherill Park.

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 come into our care.

Do you offer cremation for all pets in Greystanes?

We cremate domestic pets from Greystanes 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 Greystanes?

We provide small animal cremation across Greystanes. Rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, rats, mice and lizards are cremated individually 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 just as we do for dogs and cats, with pricing starting from the same $540.

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

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

Our drivers move large dogs gently from homes and clinics in Greystanes. Give us your dog’s approximate weight when booking so we can prepare for collection 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. We hand-deliver them to your Greystanes home in your selected urn or scatter tube, with any keepsakes, their tracking ID and the 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 size depends on your pet’s weight. Our sizes are 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 fits the 20 to 35kg range, and larger breeds require the next sizes.

You do not have to decide 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?

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

Some families remember their pet along the Prospect Creek Green Grid Corridor, a calm local walking and cycling space, or choose a garden or another favourite place. Scattering on your own property is generally fine. Before using parks, beaches or other public land, check with the local council or landholder.

Are your cremation services private?

Always. We guarantee an individual private cremation for every pet collected in Greystanes. 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 onwards, is fully private and includes a Certificate of Cremation to confirm it.

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 applied at collection, and our staff check it repeatedly through 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 each cremation is individual, the ashes belong to your pet alone.

Who is Buddy?

Buddy carries out your pet’s cremation. After booking, you will receive notifications from Buddy 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 your 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 Greystanes do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Greystanes and surrounding suburbs, including Smithfield, Merrylands, Westmead, Toongabbie, Guildford, Parramatta, and Wetherill Park.

Every package includes pickup from your home or vet throughout Greystanes and the surrounding suburbs. We also serve nearby areas, so call us on 0489 271 267 if you are just outside these locations and we will let you know straight away.
