Larger pets

For many years Pets in Peace have been able to offer a cremation service at the one price for all size pets. With the rise in costs of gas and labour we have had to include a small surcharge of $55.00 to our basic and standard cremation services for pets over 50kg. We apologise for having to introduce this charge.

Exhumation service

Many families may have buried their family pet at home and find it very hard to move because it means leaving their loved one behind. Pets in Peace offer a very dignified exhumation service. Our trained staff will come to your home and exhume the remains of the buried pet, conduct a cremation of these remains and return the ashes to the family in a special urn. We offer this service at an affordable price based on the size of your pet and amount of work required. Please contact us so that we can discuss your requirements.

Celebrant service

If you would like a more formal farewell, Pets in Peace can assist. A qualified funeral celebrant can conduct a personalised service to help you say goodbye to your dear friend. Funeral services can be held at our premises or at a special place of your choosing. Our pets are an important part of our family and it is only fitting that you say farewell the way that suits you best. The cost of a qualified funeral celebrant is $135.00. There may be some other small charges depending on where you decide to hold the service.

Viewings Family room at our crematorium

Pets in Peace have special viewing room at our crematorium. If you wish to say that final farewell to your dear friend then you can spend some private time alone in our special viewing room. There is no limit to the number of family members or friends who can attend a viewing. All viewing times need to be booked in advance. Due to staff costs in preparing and conducting a viewing there is a small viewing fee of $40.00 during normal hours and $80.00 for after hours and weekend viewings.

Viewing of cremation

Pets in Peace have an open door policy at our crematorium. We have a special area at our crematorium where you may safely watch the start of the cremation process should you wish to. There is small fee of $80 for this service. This includes time for the family to say their goodbyes in our viewing room prior to the start of the cremation. Please contact us if you are interested in this service and they will arrange a time to suit you.

Viewing of cremation with the collection of ashes on the same day

If it is important for you to have your pet cremated and their ashes home with you on the same day as the cremation we can assist you. There is a fee of $120.00 and the cremation process will take between 2 and 3 hours. Please contact us for more details.
