Choose from a selection of traditional urns, modern app-based designs or biodegradable urns which are a popular choice for those looking to curate a nature-inspired memorial, allowing your pet to rest peacefully in an environment they loved. You can browse our catalogue here on our website.
Cremation is a great choice for bird owners who wish to memorialise their beloved feathered friend, for the following reasons:
Cremation provides you with a small amount of ashes that can be kept as a memorial, unlike burial where the remains are buried underground.
Additionally, cremation eliminates the need to find a suitable burial site that is both legal and suitable for the deceased pet.
It also gives pet owners greater control over the final disposition of their pet’s remains, as you can decide what will be done with the ashes rather than leaving it up to a third party.
You may wish to scatter your bird’s ashes in a place that is meaningful to you, such as a favourite park, your home garden, or a special location in nature. However, it is important to be mindful of your local laws and regulations when considering these options. If you opt for scattering or burying ashes, make sure that the chosen location allows it.
To get your bird cremated, you will be charged around $250, though this might increase with the size of your pet.
We also offer packages including:
Cremation & urn
Cremation & temporary urn
Cremation & scatter tube
Keepsake packages
An after-hours fee will also apply between 5-8pm. For a tailored quote, please contact us today on 1800 789 567.
Cremation is a quick process which roughly lasts an hour for birds.
For an additional charge, you can witness the beginning of the cremation process from our viewing room, although we’re only able to offer this service for the first cremation of the day, which occurs early in the morning.
Yes, you can. Holding onto a feather is a beautiful way to remember your bird’s life, especially if you decide to bury or scatter their ashes. It can serve as a reminder to you of both their vibrant colour and personality.
