Pet Cremation Mount Druitt | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Mount Druitt?

Private pet cremation in Mount Druitt 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 and includes an urn, framed paw print and daily keepsake, while The Legacy is $1,190 and includes an urn, 2 keepsakes and a premium keepsake.

Every package includes collection from your Mount Druitt 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 Mount Druitt?

Dog cremation in Mount Druitt 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 dogs 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 Mount Druitt home or vet is included, and your dog is cremated alone, never with other animals.

How much does cat cremation in Mount Druitt cost?

Cat cremation in Mount Druitt 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 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, up to 5kg, so there is no size surcharge to consider. We collect cats from homes and veterinary clinics across Mount Druitt 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’ll 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 Mount Druitt 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 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 the body becomes stiff. Put an old towel underneath because some fluid release is normal, and keep them somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight.

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

We guarantee collection anywhere in Mount Druitt and the surrounding suburbs within 24 hours of booking confirmation. 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. 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 Mount Druitt?

Yes. Many Mount Druitt families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Mount Druitt and surrounding suburbs, including Rooty Hill, St Marys, St Clair, Doonside, Glenwood, Blacktown, and Quakers Hill.

Provide the clinic name when booking and we’ll 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 enter our care.

Do you offer cremation for all pets in Mount Druitt?

We cremate domestic pets from Mount Druitt 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 Mount Druitt?

We provide small animal cremation across Mount Druitt. Rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, rats, mice and lizards are each cremated alone 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 as we would for a dog or cat, with prices starting from the same $540.

Is there a size limit for large dog cremation in Mount Druitt?

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 handle large dogs gently when collecting from a home or clinic in Mount Druitt. Tell us your dog’s approximate weight when booking so we can plan the 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 Mount Druitt home in your chosen urn or scatter tube, together 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. 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 use the sizes above that.

You do not have to calculate this yourself. Provide your pet’s approximate weight when booking and we will match the correct urn from your chosen collection.

Can I scatter my pet’s ashes?

By default, your pet’s urn is sealed, 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 instead of an urn.

Some Mount Druitt families remember their pet with a favourite walk near Mount Druitt Town Centre Reserve, then choose a garden or another favourite place for the ashes. Scattering on your own property is generally fine. Before using parks or other public land, check with the local council or landholder.

Are your cremation services private?

Always. We guarantee individual private pet cremation for every pet collected in Mount Druitt. Your pet is cremated alone in a single chamber, and only their ashes are returned, never mixed or shared with other animals.

We do not provide communal or group cremation. Every package, from the $540 Private Farewell onwards, is a fully private cremation with a Certificate of Cremation confirming it.

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 that tag repeatedly at every stage, from the van to the crematorium and back to your door.

Your pet’s ashes come back with their tracking ID and Certificate of Cremation. As 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 notifications from them 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 provide a cremation or end-of-life benefit, while others do not. This depends on your insurer and level of cover, 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 copy of your payment receipt and Certificate of Cremation to support the claim.

Which suburbs around Mount Druitt do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Mount Druitt and surrounding suburbs, including Rooty Hill, St Marys, St Clair, Doonside, Glenwood, Blacktown, and Quakers Hill.

Every package includes pickup from your home or vet throughout Mount Druitt and the surrounding suburbs. If you are just outside these areas, call us on 0489 271 267 and we’ll let you know straight away.
