Pet Cremation Yagoona | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Yagoona?

Private pet cremation in Yagoona starts from $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 includes collection from your Yagoona home or vet, an individual private cremation, a Certificate of Cremation and hand delivery of the ashes within 10 business days. The only additional costs 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 Yagoona?

Dog cremation in Yagoona 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. Dogs up to 100kg are accepted. Collection from your Yagoona home or vet is included, and your dog is cremated alone, never with other animals.

How much is cat cremation in Yagoona?

Cat cremation in Yagoona starts from $540. This includes collection from your home or 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 commonly 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, which is up to 5kg, so there is no size surcharge to consider. We collect cats from homes and veterinary clinics throughout Yagoona and the surrounding suburbs, using the same process as for dogs.

Are there any additional fees?

Your selected package includes everything, including pickup 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 Yagoona 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 little time first, as there is no need to rush. When you are 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 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 Yagoona 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 Yagoona?

We guarantee collection anywhere in Yagoona 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.

A 30-minute notification will arrive before our 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 Yagoona?

Yes. Many Yagoona families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Yagoona and surrounding suburbs, including Bankstown, Chester Hill, Greenacre, Punchbowl, Revesby, Lidcombe, and Lakemba.

Provide the clinic name when booking and we will organise collection directly with the vet, meaning 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 Yagoona?

We cremate domestic pets collected from Yagoona 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 Yagoona?

Yes. We provide small animal cremation across Yagoona. 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 for the home. We collect from 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 Yagoona?

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 Yagoona. Tell us your dog’s approximate weight when booking so we can prepare for collection and include any surcharge in the quote.

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

Your pet’s ashes are returned within 10 business days, considerably sooner than the 3-week industry average. Our team hand-delivers them to your Yagoona home in your selected urn or scatter tube, along 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. 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 fit the smallest size, while a Labrador generally falls into the 20 to 35kg range and larger breeds require the sizes above it.

There is no need to calculate this yourself. 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 normally seal your pet’s urn, 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 families remember their pet with a gentle walk at Gazzard Park before choosing a garden or another favourite place for the ashes. Scattering 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 Yagoona. Your pet is cremated alone in a single chamber, and only their ashes are returned, never ashes mixed or shared with other animals.

Communal and group cremation are not offered. 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. They receive a unique tracking tag at collection, and our staff check it repeatedly throughout the journey, from the vehicle to the crematorium and back to your door.

We return your pet’s ashes with their tracking ID and Certificate of Cremation. Because each cremation is individual, the ashes belong only to your pet.

Who is Buddy?

Buddy carries out your pet’s cremation as the service provider. After booking, you will receive notifications from them 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 provide a cremation or end-of-life benefit, while others do not. Cover depends on your insurer and policy level, so review your product disclosure statement or speak with 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 Yagoona do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Yagoona and surrounding suburbs, including Bankstown, Chester Hill, Greenacre, Punchbowl, Revesby, Lidcombe, and Lakemba.

Every package includes pickup from your home or vet throughout Yagoona and the surrounding suburbs. We also cover the wider Yagoona area without separate suburb restrictions, and you can call us on 0489 271 267 for help with locations just outside these areas.
