Pet Cremation Cranebrook | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Cranebrook?

Private pet cremation in Cranebrook 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 Cranebrook 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 price you pay.

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

Dog cremation in Cranebrook 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. We accept dogs up to 100kg. Collection from your Cranebrook home or vet is included, and your dog is cremated alone, never with other animals.

How much is cat cremation in Cranebrook?

Cat cremation in Cranebrook starts from $540. This covers 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 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 no size surcharge applies. We collect cats from homes and veterinary clinics across Cranebrook and the surrounding suburbs, using the same process as for dogs.

Are there any additional fees?

Your chosen package includes everything, including collection 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 Cranebrook 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 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 the body becomes stiff. 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 Cranebrook 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 Cranebrook?

Collection is guaranteed anywhere in Cranebrook and the surrounding suburbs within 24 hours of booking confirmation. 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.

A notification arrives 30 minutes before the driver reaches you. Your pet travels in a van prepared with flowers, greenery and a soft bed. For after-hours or weekend collection, the fees above apply and we will call to confirm the time.

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

Yes. Many Cranebrook families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Cranebrook and surrounding suburbs, including Jordan Springs, Marsden Park, Penrith, Emu Plains, St Marys, Glenmore Park, and Blaxland.

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 come into our care.

Do you offer cremation for all pets in Cranebrook?

We cremate domestic pets from Cranebrook homes and veterinary clinics, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, ferrets, reptiles and other small animals. Pets are accepted up to 100kg. 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 Cranebrook?

Yes. We provide small animal cremation across Cranebrook. Rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, rats, mice and lizards are each cremated alone in one chamber, so only your pet’s ashes are returned.

Because small pets produce less ash, many families choose a small urn from The Gesture or The Memory collection, or a keepsake for the home. We collect from home or a vet just as we do for dogs and cats, and pricing starts from the same $540.

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

Pets up to 100kg are accepted, covering almost every dog breed. Large breeds up to 50kg pay 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 carefully whether collection is from a home or clinic in Cranebrook. Tell 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. Our team hand-delivers them to your Cranebrook home in the urn or scatter tube you selected, 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 size is based on your pet’s weight. Our options 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 falls in the 20 to 35kg range, and larger breeds require 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. Your pet’s urn is sealed by default, but we 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 rather than an urn.

Some families remember their pet along the north–south open-space corridor beside the village, while choosing to scatter ashes in a garden or another favourite place. 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. We guarantee individual private pet cremation for every pet collected in Cranebrook. 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, 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 at every stage, from the van to the crematorium and back to your door.

The ashes are returned with your pet’s tracking ID and Certificate of Cremation. Since 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 receive updates from Buddy 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 provide 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 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 Cranebrook do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Cranebrook and surrounding suburbs, including Jordan Springs, Marsden Park, Penrith, Emu Plains, St Marys, Glenmore Park, and Blaxland.

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