Dog Cremation That Feels Like Closure

Dogs leave a space in our homes and in our hearts - that’s impossible to replace. Choosing dog cremation is a way to honour their memory and keep a part of them close.



We offer flexible cremation options to suit your needs. Some families prefer a simple return of ashes, while others find comfort in keepsakes that reflect their dog’s personality. Whatever you choose, you’ll have the time, support, and understanding to make the decision that feels right for you.


Our service includes collection and return, so there’s nothing extra to worry about. We keep communication clear and compassionate, providing updates along the way so you’re never left wondering what’s next.

Above all, everything we do is handled with care—care for your dog, and care for you. Because dog cremation isn’t just a service—it’s part of the healing process.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does it take to cremate a dog?

    The cremation process itself typically takes between 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on the size of the dog. After cremation, there is a cooling and processing period before the ashes are prepared for return.


    While the actual cremation is completed in a single day, the full process—including careful handling, preparation of ashes, and any selected memorial items—usually takes several days. We aim to return your dog’s ashes within 10 to 14 business days, and will keep you informed every step of the way.

  • Can I keep my dog’s ashes at home?

    Yes, many people choose to keep their dog’s ashes at home in an urn or piece of memorial jewellery. 


    It’s a way to maintain that bond and have a physical reminder of your companion. 


    There are also biodegradable options if you’d prefer to bury or scatter the ashes in a special spot.

  • Is dog cremation better than burial?

    There’s no right or wrong choice—whether cremation or burial is “better” depends entirely on your personal preferences, values, and circumstances.


    Many families choose cremation for its flexibility. It allows you to keep your dog’s ashes close, create memorials, or scatter them in a meaningful place. Cremation is also often more practical, especially for those who don’t have access to land for burial or who may move homes in the future.


    Burial, whether at home (where allowed) or in a pet cemetery, offers a more traditional option and a physical place to visit and reflect.


    Ultimately, the best choice is the one that feels right for you and best honours the bond you shared with your pet.
