The details that help us guide you

When you call, share your dog’s name, breed or general body type, approximate weight, present location, and whether you want ashes returned. Weight helps guide safe handling, transportation, cremation arrangements, the estimate, and the capacity of a full-size urn.

If you are unsure of the exact weight, an estimate is enough to begin. Mention mobility or handling concerns and whether there are stairs, a narrow hallway, an elevator, a gate, or other access details at the pickup location.

02

Private and communal dog cremation

Private dog cremation is selected when your family wants your dog’s ashes returned. Communal dog cremation is a respectful alternative when individual ashes do not need to come home. We explain the difference before you choose.

The care estimate can vary with size, transportation, return arrangements, and optional memorial selections. Ask for the full explanation before authorizing service, including which items are included and which are optional.

03

Choosing an urn for a dog

A dog urn must have enough capacity for your companion’s cremated remains. Appearance alone is not enough to confirm suitability. Call with your dog’s approximate weight and the product item number so capacity can be checked before purchase.

Families may choose ceramic, wood, photo, garden-inspired, or personalized urns. Small keepsakes and necklaces are symbolic additions and should not be mistaken for a full-size primary urn.

  • Full-size urn for the primary return
  • Photo urn for a favorite image
  • Engraved urn with name or dates
  • Keepsake for sharing among family
  • Memorial necklace for a tiny symbolic remembrance
