Pet Cremations in Sydney

Choosing Pet Cremation for your Furry Family Member

Pets are a member of your family. We know, and we understand because they are also part of ours. You welcome a pet into your home, be it a puppy or an adult, and you begin to love them right away.

Over time you become accustomed to their unwavering and unconditional love. You expect to see them happy and excited when you come home from a long day at work.

When you lose your pet and they cross the rainbow bridge, we understand how much it hurts. It is difficult to make decisions about what to do with his or her remains as you are initially just trying to take in the loss of your pet.

While this may seem a morbid thought, it is easier to consider your options before your pet passes if possible.

Many pet owners choose pet cremation in Sydney for their beloved pets remains.

Why Choose a Pet Cremation in Sydney?

Cremation is a good way to be able to keep your pets remains. Much like many humans do with their family members.

Pets can be one of your closest family members. Therefore, choosing to keep their remains close can make a lot of sense in the healing process and to honour your loved one.

You can still bury your pet’s ashes or keep them in a nice container or an urn. You could have your pets name etched on a beautifully crafted wooden box or an urn in the colour of your pet’s collar.

Sometimes owners like to scatter their pet’s ashes. You can scatter them in your pets yard, their favourite park, or another place that is meaningful to you.

Options for Pet Cremation in Sydney

When your pet passes away you can call the vet or call your preferred crematorium service company. Currently, most pet owners call the vet straight away and get an option of receiving your pet's ashes back in a cardboard box, a nicer box, or not receiving the ashes back.

There are more options available and they should be considered before you call the vet.

Before you call the vet, consider a personalised pet memorial service.

For a more personalised farewell to your beloved pet, we recommend organising a cremation with your preferred local crematorium or pet memorial company.

They will talk you through all your options and offer nice touches such as keepsakes, urns and more. Some companies also offer a pick up and drop off service to your house, instead of going to the vet.

There are currently a few different pet cremation services available in Australia. Communal, individual or partitioned, and private pet cremations are widely available.

Private Pet Cremations

A private cremation is when your pet’s remains are cremated completely apart from any other pets. You will receive your pet’s ashes afterwards to keep.

Individual or Partitioned Pet Cremations

Individual or partitioned cremation is when your pet’s remains are cremated with other pets, but they are separated by partitions. This ensures that only your pets ashes are returned to you.

Communal Pet Cremations

Communal cremation is when your pet is joined with other pets. They are cremated together and then their ashes are scattered together. Unfortunately, with communal cremation, you cannot have your pet’s ashes returned to you.

Other Important Pet Cremation Considerations

It takes up to three days to have yours pets remains returned to you, depending on the type of cremation service you choose.

Most services will offer to pick up your pets remains from home or to have them transported from the veterinary hospital.

You may even include small mementos such as letters, flowers, or pictures to be cremated with your pet as part of your tribute to their memory.
