Each provider is matched to Waikato by its own listed location, across 2 localities, and every listing was checked against public first-party sources. Services may include private cremation, communal cremation, aquamation, burial and memorial products where confirmed — not every provider offers every service, and this directory may not include every provider in the region, so check each provider's page and confirm the details directly. Some providers operate by collection or appointment and do not publish a public street address; where that is the case the page says so.

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.
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
