Pet Cremation

Purpose

Your loving animal deserves the same quality of care it received when alive. As pet owners ourselves, we understand this need and offer cremation services for your deceased companions. 

St. Joseph Animal Services Division offers pet cremation. The loss of a companion animal can be devastating to many pet owners. This service will allow pet owners a sanitary method for handling the remains of their animal in a dignified manner. 

Rest Assured

  • Your pet will be handled by a caring, licensed professional.
  • Your pet’s ashes will be processed as “congregated cremation” meaning that multiple pets may share the cremator space, although your pet’s ashes will be kept separated until returned to you. 
  • Your pets‘ cremains will be returned to you in a sealed bag within a temporary urn.
