Pet cremation & burial

Pet cremation and burial: services and prices

Updated 20 October 2026

When you need to act quickly and calmly

Losing a pet is a hard moment, and nobody wants to look for a service at such a time. So it helps to know what the choice consists of. First you decide on the format: individual cremation (the ashes are returned to you), group cremation (the ashes are not returned) or burial in a pet cemetery. Then you find out the logistics: whether the body will be collected from your home or clinic, and how soon.

How it works on BlaBlaPrice

You describe the animal, its weight, the service you want and your city in a request, and services reply in the chat with a price and terms. The text is checked, and extra contacts are removed. You do not have to phone several places on such a day. Reviews of the provider are shown beside the offers, and the best-value one is shown first. Your number stays hidden until you choose a service. About the mechanism: How it works.

What to include

• Service — individual or group cremation, burial;
• Animal — species and breed;
• Weight — the price depends on it, so give an approximate but honest figure;
• Urn and keepsakes — type of urn, engraving, paw print, plaque;
• Collecting the body — from home or a clinic, the address;
• City and time — today or on a particular day;
• Budget, if you want to name it.

Example: “Dog, Labrador, 30 kg. I need individual cremation with the ashes returned in an engraved urn, the body must be collected from home. Dubai, today. Budget up to AED 260.”

How to compare offers

The difference between services is often in the details. Ask what the price includes: collecting the body, cremation, the urn, paperwork. Ask how they make sure the ashes returned are really your pet's: whether the cremation is individual or in a shared chamber, whether there is a certificate and whether you can be present. Ask how many days pass from the order to the return of the ashes. For large animals the price is usually higher because of the weight. If you want a burial, ask about the place: a private plot, a pet cemetery or something else, and whether there is a document about where the grave is. Also ask whether you can come to say goodbye and whether the service provides refrigerated transport. Do not hesitate to ask such questions: serious providers answer calmly and without pressure.

What to ask in advance

Check whether the service works at weekends and at night, whether it can keep the body until it arrives (kept cold, if time is needed) and whether it gives a cremation certificate. If the animal was at a clinic, find out whether the clinic works with the service. If the animal is still alive and needs help, see veterinary care or a home-visit vet.
