Petrest
Sydney, NSW
Longstanding Sydney pet cremation provider allowing direct booking or vet-arranged cremation.
About Petrest
Petrest is a long-running Sydney pet crematorium that has served the city for over fifty years, cremating everything from rats and rabbits to cats and dogs. You can book directly or have your vet arrange the cremation, and collection from home or a vet hospital is available at any time, including evenings and weekends.
Private cremation is offered with ashes returned, guaranteed and usually within six working days, and each pet is given an ID tag that stays with them throughout. An urn and memorial products are available too, so the key choices are whether you book direct or through your vet, and which keepsakes you want.
Pricing isn't published and depends on your pet's size, your location and the collection time, so ask for a quote when you book. With calls answered 363 days a year, it's also worth confirming collection timing if you need someone to come out in the evening or on a weekend.
