View providerUnderstand your options
Private vs communal cremation
The main choice you'll make is whether your pet is cremated individually and whether you receive ashes back. Both are dignified, legitimate choices.
1Most personal
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
2Most affordable
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
