Pet cremation: the process and prices in 2026

When we lose a loyal companion, more and more owners choose cremation instead of burial. It is a clean, dignified solution that lets you keep the memory at home in a beloved urn. It helps to know how the process works and what costs to expect.

There are two main types of pet cremation: communal (group) and individual. In communal cremation several pets are cremated together and the ashes are not returned to the owner. With individual cremation only your companion is placed in the chamber and the ashes are returned to you in an urn.

Pet cremation prices depend on body weight and the type you choose. Communal cremation typically starts from around EUR 40–70, while individual cremation ranges from EUR 70–160. Home collection, a ceremony or a premium urn can add to the cost.

The process usually goes like this: you contact the crematorium, agree on collection (from home or your vet), and within 3–7 business days the ashes are ready. From there it is worth choosing a dignified urn that will keep the memory for years to come.

We handcraft every urn individually, adapted to your companion's size and personality — so that after cremation a truly personal memorial can find its place at home.
