After the visit
Cremation options after euthanasia
Euthanasia and cremation are usually separate steps. This is the single biggest decision for both cost and whether you get your pet's ashes back.
Private cremation
Your pet is cremated individually and the ashes returned to you are your pet's alone. Usually priced by weight.
- Ashes returned to you
- Cremated individually
- Higher cost than communal
Communal cremation
Your pet is cremated alongside other pets. Ashes can't be separated, so they're generally not returned. Usually the most affordable choice.
- Ashes not returned
- Lower cost
- A dignified, common choice
Who performs it

Speak with a vet first
