Urn or keepsake
A basic container is often included, while a chosen urn, paw print or memorial is charged on top of the cremation.
Travel and collection distance
Outside the big metros, providers may travel to you or collect from your vet, so distance and any transport fee can matter as much as the cremation itself.
