Understanding your options
Private cremation
Your pet is cremated alone and the ashes returned to you are only your pet's. Choose this if keeping your pet's ashes matters to you.
Communal cremation
Several pets are cremated together and ashes are not returned. A gentler-on-the-budget choice for families who do not wish to keep ashes.
Aquamation
Also called water cremation, this uses warm water and alkalinity instead of flame. It is a quieter, lower-emission process, offered privately or communally.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between private, communal, and aquamation?
In a private (individual) cremation, your pet is cremated alone and the ashes returned to you are only your pet's. In a communal cremation, several pets are cremated together and the ashes are not returned. It is the gentler-on-the-budget option for families who do not wish to keep ashes. Aquamation, also called water cremation or alkaline hydrolysis, uses warm water and alkalinity instead of flame; it is a quieter, lower-emission process and can be done privately or communally. Some providers also offer a partitioned or witnessed option that sits in between.
How much does pet cremation cost?
Costs vary by your pet's size, your region, and the type of service. As a general guide in the US, communal cremation often runs about $30 to $70, while a private (individual) cremation is commonly $100 to $250 or more. Aquamation tends to sit at the higher end and varies more by area. Add-ons such as a returned urn, a paw print, or home pickup are usually priced separately. Always confirm the full price with the provider, as a small cat and a large dog can fall at very different points in the range.
Can I be present, and will I get my pet's ashes back?
Many providers offer a private cremation with the ashes returned to you, and some allow a witnessed service where you can be present. With a communal cremation, ashes are generally not returned. If having your pet's ashes back matters to you, ask for a private or individual cremation specifically, and ask how the provider keeps each pet identified throughout.
What should I ask a pet cremation provider?
A few questions help you choose with confidence: is the cremation private, communal, or aquamation; how do they keep each pet identified; can you visit or witness; what is included in the price and what costs extra; how and when are ashes returned; and do they offer pickup from your home or your veterinarian. A caring provider will answer all of these plainly.
