Our Services include Cremation, Grief Support, Memorial Products, Urns and Pre-need Arrangements

We offer communal, individual, as well as private cremation services. Whether you choose individual or private cremation, you will receive only your pet's cremains. We can help you with pre-need arrangements by working directly with you or your veterinarian to provide all of the services so that when the time comes you are not worrying about what to do.

We cremate on a daily basis and cremate in order of arrival. Our cremation turnaround is generally five business days. If you would like your pet's cremains back sooner, we offer priority cremation services for an additional fee. To avoid any confusion, we explain the differences between communal, individual, and private cremation services below.

You can receive your pet's cremains in person at Guardian Animal Aftercare, pick them up at your veterinary hospital, or have them delivered via Federal Express (signature required) to your residence.
