Cremation Services

At Faithful Friend we work with an excellent local licensed pet crematorium, Caring Pet Crematory in Sacramento (www.caringpetcrematory.com). Dr. Sarah will provide transportation of your pet to the crematorium if you choose for us to arrange cremation. You are also welcome to transport your pet on your own to the crematory and arrange cremation on your own.

We offer either communal cremation or a private cremation. For a communal cremation the ashes will not be returned to you.  A private cremation means that your pet will be individually cremated in a separate chamber and the ashes will be returned in a wooden box urn. Ashes can be picked up at the crematory (they will call when the ashes are ready) or you can choose an option to have them mailed to you for an additional $25 fee.

Please note, cremation fees are not included in the fee for the euthanasia appointment.  Please see below for fees.  These fees include Faithful Friend providing transportation to the crematory and for an individual cremation they include a wooden box urn.
