Step By Step Guide To Pet Cremation
Losing a pet is a difficult time, and not knowing the process of what happens during the cremation process can make it even more upsetting. By understanding the process and knowing what options you have, you’ll be able to make a more informed decision through your grieving time. Here are the steps of pet cremation.
Step 1: Collecting Your Pet
If your pet has passed away at your vet, they will be able to give you the information about contacting a pet cremation centre. Whether the pet has passed away from an emergency at home or scheduled euthanasia, our caring staff will be able to guide you through their process of collecting your pet.
If your pet has passed away at your home, the same process applies, and our professional staff will be able to come to your home immediately.
Step 2: What Do I Need To Do?
Once your pet has been collected, the staff at our Pet Crematorium welcome you to be involved in the process as much or as little as you like. They will guide you through the process, and you can expect to be able to collect the ashes of your pet within 72 hours in normal circumstances. This time frame allows for the collection, the cremation, the cooling, the processing and placement in the selected urn and/or keepsake.
Step 3: Individual Pet Cremation
The cremation process will take place at our Stapylton Facilities.
Step 4: Special Requests
You can also have special requests granted. This could be something like removing something from your pet such as a special collar, a lock of hair for a keepsake, or even requesting a paw print of your pet to have framed later. Our team will not charge for this additional service. We welcome you to discuss any queries and/or concerns you may have.
Step 5: Pet Urns & Keepsakes
You may request to be onsite during the cremation, or you can be informed when the process is completed. Your pet’s ashes will go into a temporary urn until you have decided on the type of urn you’d like.
There is a large selection of different types of urns for pets available including: Biodegradable urns, Metal urns, Scatter tubes and Timber urns as well as a range of keepsake jewellery options.
When picking an urn, you’ll need to take into consideration: The weight & size of your pet, The design of your home or garden, Where you want to place the urn and Your budget.
Step 6: Scattering Your Pet’s Ashes
Once you’ve taken home your pet’s ashes in your urn, you can decide with your family if you’d like to scatter the ashes, keep them in the urn for a later date or keep them permanently in the urn. Some ideas of where to scatter the ashes could be a favourite bush trail, favourite beach or creek, favourite dog park, private gardens or even your backyard.
If you do decide on scattering ashes on private land, it is essential to get permission from the owner of private land or the Trust of Parks and Reserves or the local council for parks and beaches.
If you decide you or someone in your family may need grief support during this time, several resources can assist. The team at Pet Haven are available for contact 24/7 at 1800 789 567, and we can send out professional staff to your home or your vet immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
We always ask if you would like to keep the collar and other personal items or have them cremated with your beloved pet. This is a personal decision and there is no right or wrong answer. We are happy to accommodate your wishes, whatever you decide to do.
In some cases, it’s even possible to remove the metal collar fragments from the remains after cremation using a magnet. So even after cremation, you can still change your mind about how you want to manage the remains.
Yes! Pet cremation is becoming more popular because it’s a way to honour your pet in a meaningful way and is much easier than having to bury or cremate them yourself. Cremation is a way of placing the remains of your pet in an urn or other container so that you can keep them in your home or scatter them somewhere meaningful.
If you’d prefer not to have your pet’s ashes returned, they will be scattered in a dignified manner on your behalf. You can rest assured your pet’s remains and ashes will be treated with the utmost respect throughout their time under our care.
We supply your beloved pets’ remains in a sealed plastic bag, so there is no need to seal the urn as well.
However, if you are transferring the remains to separate keepsake urns, it may be necessary to seal the main urn once the bag has been opened. This will depend on the type of urn chosen.
We stock a large collection of urns, some of which have threaded lids. This type of urn is ideal because there is no need to seal them, even if the bag has been opened.
There are many reasons why pet owners choose to have their pet’s remains cremated. Some people want to keep the ashes of their beloved pets close to them, while others feel that sending a beloved animal off into the afterlife with a traditional burial just doesn’t feel right.
The process is also much more environmentally friendly than traditional burial options like burying or embalming your pet’s body before placing it in the ground (which involves chemicals and other toxic materials).
If you have a preferred urn for the cremation, we can accommodate this as part of our service. Simply supply us with the urn and we will be happy to place your pet’s ashes in it for the same price as an individual cremation with a scatter box.
The decision on what to do with your pet when they pass away is a highly individual choice. Some people like to bury their pet in their yard or another destination that meant something to both the pet and the owner.
At Pet haven Animal Cremation, we provide individual pet cremation for your dog or cats or any type of pet so that you can ensure that after the cremation process, you get to keep your pet forever in the form of a pet urn / keepsake.
Individual pet cremation also means that we can cremate your pet with their favourite toy to provide them forever comfort.
