What Are the Usual Cost for Pet Cremations

For many, choosing cremation comes down to its lower price, the reality of more moveable lifestyles and the relaxation of religious mandates in favor of interment, but some of it can be attributed with cremation especially given that many pet owners have sent their beloved animals to a crematorium instead of burying in the backyard.

The overall Gold Coast pet cremation cost of cremating your pet depends on several factors:
Type and Size
Pet crematories partially base their rates on the relative size of the pet being cremated. Pocket pets are the smallest and least expensive to cremate. Large pets are the most expensive to cremate. Some crematories may charge as little as $35 to cremate a pocket pet, while the cost of cremating a horse may range anywhere from $300 to $1500. 
Type of Cremation Method
For dogs and cats, the main factor influencing the price for basic cremation services depends upon whether you choose communal, partitioned, or private cremation. Prices will vary by location, but a general starting point is $75-$150.
Communal Cremation
As a way to save costs, some cremation providers offer communal cremation. This method involves more than one pet being cremated at the same time, with no physical barrier to prevent a pet’s ashes from mingling with others. The cost of a communal cremation may be as low as $50–$65.
Partitioned Cremation
A partitioned cremation involves cremating several pets at one time, using physical barriers inside the cremation chamber to maintain separation of the pets’ ashes from one another. Prices for a partitioned cremation will vary depending upon the size of your pet. Pocket pets start at $95 for a partitioned cremation, where a cat or a rabbit and other smaller pets start at $160 for a partitioned cremation.
Cremation
A private cremation is the most expensive pet cremation option. In a private cremation, the body of only one pet is present in the cremation chamber. Private cremations generally range from around $125 to $275.
Home Pick Up
Gold Coast pet cremation cost may or may not include removal fees. Many veterinarians have a contract with a crematory that includes pickup from their clinic. If your pet dies at the veterinarian clinic, there may not be a charge for the pickup, if the clinic has a relationship with a pet cremation service. Most pet cremation services will offer a removal service, usually for an additional fee.
Urns and Other Memorial Products
Pet cremation providers can assist you in memorializing your pet through a wide variety of urns and other products. If you intend to scatter the ashes of your pet, you may opt for a temporary urn, which may be included in the basic pet cremation cost. Prices can vary greatly depending on the size needed, the materials used, and whether you are purchasing directly from a wholesale retailer or from the pet crematory.
Pet cremation services offer packages that combine the cost of basic cremation with other services and products. By choosing a package, you may be able to save money while receiving the services and products you want to provide a lasting and memorable tribute to your pet.
