Pet Cremation Smithfield | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Smithfield?

Private pet cremation in Smithfield starts from $540 with our Private Farewell package, which returns your pet’s ashes in a scatter tube. If you would like 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, while The Legacy costs $1,190 and includes an urn, 2 keepsakes and a premium keepsake.

Every package includes collection from your Smithfield 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 amount you pay.

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

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

How much is cat cremation in Smithfield?

Cat cremation in Smithfield starts from $540. This includes collection from home or a 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 to consider. We collect cats from homes and veterinary clinics across Smithfield and the surrounding suburbs, using the same process as for dogs.

Are there any additional fees?

Your chosen package includes everything, including collection and the return of the ashes. There are only 3 additional charges, and we always 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 Smithfield 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 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 fold their legs into a natural curled position. Do this within 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 Smithfield 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 Smithfield?

We guarantee collection anywhere in Smithfield 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 notification 30 minutes before the driver arrives. Your pet travels in a van prepared with flowers, greenery and a soft bed. For an after-hours or weekend collection, the applicable fees above apply and we call to confirm the time.

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

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

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 Smithfield?

We cremate domestic pets collected from Smithfield 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 Smithfield?

Yes. We provide small animal cremation across Smithfield. 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 fewer ashes, many families choose a small urn from The Gesture or The Memory collection, or a keepsake to keep at home. We collect from home or a vet just as we do for dogs and cats, and prices start from the same $540.

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

We accept pets up to 100kg, 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, whether collecting from a home or clinic in Smithfield. Tell 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. Our team hand-delivers them to your Smithfield 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 right urn depends 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, a Labrador generally falls within 20 to 35kg, and larger breeds use the sizes above that.

You do not have to decide this alone. Give us 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 your pet’s urn by default, but 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 Smithfield families remember their pets during walks or time outdoors at Brenan Park or Rosford Park. Scattering ashes 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 individual private pet cremation for every pet collected in Smithfield. 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, 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, which our staff check repeatedly at every stage, from the van to the crematorium and back to your door.

The returned ashes come with your pet’s tracking ID and Certificate of Cremation. Because every 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, you receive updates from them 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. Coverage depends on your insurer and level of cover, so check your 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 Smithfield do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Smithfield and surrounding suburbs, including Greystanes, Wetherill Park, Fairfield, Guildford, Merrylands, Bossley Park, and Cabramatta.

Every package includes collection from your home or vet wherever you are in Smithfield and the surrounding suburbs. If you are just outside these areas, call us on 0489 271 267 and we will let you know straight away.
