North Lakes Pet Cremation

Losing a pet is one of life’s hardest moments, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. At Pets Forever Cremations, we provide caring and respectful pet cremation services across North Lakes and the surrounding areas. Our goal is to ease your burden during this difficult time by offering a personalised, compassionate experience.


From dogs and cats to snakes, birds, alpacas and turtles, every pet is treated with the utmost respect and kindness. We offer a range of cremation packages along with beautiful options like engraved urns or memorial jewellery for a lasting tribute. Throughout the entire process, we maintain clear and open communication so you’re never left wondering what happens next.


No two pets are the same and neither should their farewells be. Pet cremation should never feel like a one-size-fits-all service. Some families prefer a simple, private goodbye, while others find comfort in keepsakes they can hold close. The beauty of this service is its flexibility, you choose how you want to remember your cherished companion.


Every step is handled with care respect. One call or email gets everything in motion - from collection and cremation to the return of your pet's ashes. We offer packages to suit every need, and we’re always here to discuss your options before you decide. Many families choose to add engraved urns or memorial jewellery, creating lasting tributes that keep their pet’s memory near.


Our service covers a wide area beyond North Lakes. We handle each part of the journey with compassion, patience and respect. This isn't just a service, it's a promise to care for you and your pet with the kindness you deserve.



Whether you’re a pet owner navigating grief or a veterinarian supporting a family, our service puts people and their pets first. Call 0433 031 015 to speak with someone who truly understands.


Grieving the Loss of a Beloved Pet

Losing a much-loved pet can be just as heart-breaking as losing a family member, and no matter how much we try to prepare ourselves, the pain can still be overwhelming. Pets bring comfort during hard times, offer loyal companionship, and fill our lives with joy. When they pass away, the loss is felt deeply by the whole family.


Grief has no set rules. Everyone experiences it differently, and the healing process can take weeks, months, or even years. Whatever your timeline, it’s important to remember that your grief is uniquely yours. There is no shame in mourning an animal companion, and it is always appropriate to honour the bond you shared.


The pain of losing a pet often stems from the love and companionship they gave, the joyful memories you created together, and even the little routines that became part of daily life. Sometimes, grief can be complicated by feelings of guilt or regret, wondering if you did enough for your pet, or questioning whether it was the right time to say goodbye. These thoughts are natural and simply part of the grieving process.



If you are going through this loss, please remember: you are not alone. Support is available. Organisations such as www.petsandpeople.com.au offer experienced counsellors who specialise in pet loss and grief, along with a 24/7 support line to help you through this difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When is the right time to say goodbye?

    One of the most common and most difficult questions pet owners ask is, “When is the right time to say goodbye to my beloved pet?” Sadly, there is no simple answer, and it is never an easy subject to face.


    For elderly or unwell pets, their comfort and quality of life should always be the top priority. While we might hope they will pass peacefully in their sleep, this is not often the case. Instead, we are sometimes faced with the heartbreaking decision to help them pass with dignity.


    It may help to ask yourself:


    Does my pet still seem happy?


    Do they still get excited when I come home?


    Are they eating, or even interested in food?


    Have they become noticeably underweight?


    Are they too weak to stand or move, especially to relieve themselves?


    Do they have sores from lying down for too long?


    Do I often find myself feeling sorry for them?


    If you find yourself answering “yes” to many of these questions, it may be a sign that it’s time to start considering this difficult decision.


    Ultimately, your veterinarian will be your best guide. They can assess your pet’s condition and help you make the most compassionate choice for their wellbeing.



  • How long does it take to get my pet's ashes back?

    The timeframe for returning your pet’s ashes typically ranges from  10 to 14 business days after we take your pet into our care. This allows us to carefully complete the cremation process, prepare the ashes with respect, and package them securely for return. We understand how important it is for you to have your pet’s ashes back as soon as possible and will keep you informed throughout the process.

  • Can reptiles, birds and fish be cremated?

    Yes, we offer cremation services for a wide variety of pets, including reptiles, birds, fish, and many other small animals. We understand that every pet is a cherished member of the family, and we treat each one with the same care and respect throughout the cremation process.
