Pet Cremation Bexley | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Bexley?

Private pet cremation in Bexley 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 Bexley 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 Bexley?

Dog cremation in Bexley 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.

A 20% surcharge on the package price applies to dogs over 50kg, including big breeds such as Great Danes, Mastiffs and some Rottweilers. We accept dogs up to 100kg. Pickup from your Bexley home or vet is included, and your dog is cremated alone, never with other animals.

How much is cat cremation in Bexley?

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

Are there any additional fees?

The package price 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 Bexley 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 and do not feel pressured to act immediately. 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. Complete this within the first couple of hours, before stiffness develops. Put an old towel underneath because some fluid release is normal, and keep them somewhere cool and away from direct sunlight.

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

We guarantee collection anywhere in Bexley and the surrounding suburbs within 24 hours of confirming your booking. If you book before 2pm on a business day, same-day collection during business hours is available at no extra cost. Bookings after 2pm are arranged for the next available collection.

A notification will arrive 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 fees apply, and we will call to confirm the time.

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

Yes. Many Bexley families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Bexley and surrounding suburbs, including Rockdale, Kogarah, Brighton-Le-Sands, Earlwood, Hurstville, Peakhurst, and Sans Souci.

Provide the clinic name during 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 enter our care.

Do you offer cremation for all pets in Bexley?

We cremate domestic pets from Bexley homes and veterinary clinics, 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 Bexley?

Yes. Small animal cremation is available throughout Bexley. 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 fewer ashes, 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 the same way as for a dog or cat, and prices start from the same $540.

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

Pets up to 100kg are accepted, covering almost every dog breed. Large breeds up to 50kg are charged at 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 or clinics in Bexley. Tell us your dog’s approximate weight during booking so we can prepare for collection and advise the surcharge upfront.

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

Your pet’s ashes are returned within 10 business days, well before the 3-week industry average. Our team hand-delivers them to your Bexley home in the urn or scatter tube you selected, 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, a Labrador generally falls within 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 selected collection.

Can I scatter my pet’s ashes?

Yes. We normally seal your pet’s urn, 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 families remember their pet during walks at Bexley Park or Seaforth Park, then choose a garden or another favourite place for scattering. Scattering on your own property is generally fine. Before using a park, beach or other public land, check with the local council or landholder.

Are your cremation services private?

Always. Every pet we collect in Bexley 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 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. A unique tracking tag is attached at collection, and staff check it repeatedly throughout the process, from the vehicle to the crematorium and back to your door.

Their ashes are returned with the tracking ID and Certificate of Cremation. Since 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, they send notifications with updates 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. Coverage depends on your insurer and policy level, so review 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 Bexley do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Bexley and surrounding suburbs, including Rockdale, Kogarah, Brighton-Le-Sands, Earlwood, Hurstville, Peakhurst, and Sans Souci.

Every package includes pickup from your home or vet throughout Bexley, Bexley North and the surrounding suburbs. If you are just outside these areas, call 0489 271 267 and we will let you know straight away.
