Our Pet Cremation Options

We partner with trusted local pet cremation providers to offer dignified aftercare for dogs, cats, and other companion animals.

Private Pet Cremation

With private cremation, your pet is cremated individually, ensuring the ashes you receive are exclusively theirs.

What's included:

  • Individual cremation of your pet only
  • Your pet's ashes returned to you
  • Keepsake wooden urn with engraved nameplate
  • Certificate of cremation
  • Typical turnaround: 5-7 days

Private cremation is the choice for families who want to keep their pet's remains at home, scatter ashes in a meaningful location, or have a memorial keepsake.

Communal Pet Cremation

Communal cremation is a respectful and more affordable option for families who do not wish to have ashes returned.

What's included:

  • Your pet is cremated alongside other beloved pets
  • Ashes are scattered at sea or in a memorial garden
  • Certificate of cremation
  • Ashes are not returned

Many families find comfort knowing their pet rests peacefully with other companions rather than alone.

How Pet Cremation Works with In-Home Euthanasia

When you schedule an in-home euthanasia appointment with Rover Veterinary Care, aftercare is seamlessly included.

Before or during your appointment, we'll discuss whether you prefer private or communal cremation. There's no pressure to decide immediately.

After your pet passes, Dr. Matzke carefully and respectfully transports your pet to our cremation partner. Your pet is never left unattended and is handled with dignity throughout.

Our partner facility performs the cremation according to your choice. Private cremations are conducted individually with careful documentation.

For private cremation, your pet's ashes are returned to you in a keepsake urn, typically within one week. We can arrange delivery or pickup based on your preference.
