Pet Cremation Turramurra | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Turramurra?

Private pet cremation in Turramurra starts from $540 with our Private Farewell package, which returns your pet’s ashes in a scatter tube. For 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 Turramurra 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 Turramurra?

Dog cremation in Turramurra 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. Collection from your home or vet in Turramurra is included, and your dog is cremated alone, never with other animals.

How much is cat cremation in Turramurra?

Cat cremation in Turramurra 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 selecting an urn for a cat often choose 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 Turramurra and 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 Turramurra 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 stiffness develops. Put an old towel underneath because some fluid release is normal, and keep them cool and away from direct sunlight.

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

We guarantee collection anywhere in Turramurra and surrounding suburbs within 24 hours of confirming your booking. If booked before 2pm on a business day, collection can usually happen that day during business hours 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 Turramurra?

Yes. Many Turramurra families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Turramurra and surrounding suburbs, including Pymble, Wahroonga, St Ives, Gordon, Hornsby, Pennant Hills, and Lindfield.

Provide the clinic name when booking and we will organise collection directly with the vet, meaning you do not have 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 Turramurra?

We cremate domestic pets from Turramurra 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 Turramurra?

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

Small pets produce fewer ashes, so many families choose a small urn from The Gesture or The Memory collection, or a keepsake for the home. Collection from your home or vet works just as it does for dogs and cats, with prices starting from the same $540.

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

Pets up to 100kg are accepted, covering almost every dog breed. Large breeds up to 50kg remain at the standard package price. For weights from 50kg to 100kg, a 20% surcharge is added to the package price for the extra handling and cremation time.

Our drivers move large dogs carefully from homes or clinics in Turramurra. Tell us your dog’s approximate weight when 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, comfortably ahead of the 3-week industry average. We hand-deliver them to your Turramurra home in the selected urn or scatter tube, 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 correct 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 use the smallest size, a Labrador generally fits the 20 to 35kg range, and larger breeds need the sizes above it.

You do not need to decide this alone. Give us your pet’s approximate weight when booking and we will match an urn from your selected collection.

Can I scatter my pet’s ashes?

Our standard urns are sealed, but tell us if you would like to scatter the ashes and we can provide an unsealed urn or return them in a scatter tube. The Private Farewell package includes a scatter tube rather than an urn.

Some Turramurra families remember their pet with a favourite walk through Turramurra Memorial Park, then choose to scatter the ashes in a garden or another favourite place. 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. Every pet collected in Turramurra receives an individual private cremation. Your pet is cremated alone in a single chamber, and the ashes returned are theirs only, never mixed or shared with other animals.

Communal and group cremation are not offered. Every package, from the $540 Private Farewell upwards, 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 applied at collection, then checked and rechecked by staff at every stage, from the vehicle to the crematorium and back to your door.

The ashes come back with your pet’s tracking ID and Certificate of Cremation. Since each cremation is individual, the ashes belong solely to your pet.

Who is Buddy?

Buddy carries out your pet’s cremation. After booking, you receive notifications from Buddy 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. Coverage depends on your insurer and policy level, so check the product disclosure statement or speak with your insurer before booking if you intend to claim.

Where your policy covers cremation, we can provide your payment receipt and Certificate of Cremation to support the claim.

Which suburbs around Turramurra do you cover?

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