cremation

Handled with care and reverence at our Grass Valley facility.

Individual & communal cremation

We offer individual and communal cremation for pets of all sizes, handled with care and reverence at our Grass Valley facility. Every animal in our care is treated as if they were our own.

We cremate all companion animals, not just cats and dogs. Rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, goats, chickens, reptiles, and others are all welcome. We can handle animals up to 400 lbs. If you're not sure whether we can help, just ask.

Families bring their pet to us by appointment. Remains are generally ready within a week of drop-off, often sooner. We will notify you as soon as they're ready.

Witnessed cremation is available for families who would like to be present. Private cremation, where your pet is cremated with human-grade isolation, is also available for families with religious or personal preferences. We can often accommodate any special cremation need, reach out and we can discuss options.

Ashes and paw print included

Individual Cremation

Your pet cremated alone, with complete individual separation and dignified care throughout. Handcrafted wooden urn and paw print included.

Lower cost option

Communal Cremation

Remains scattered by a stream in the Nevada County forest. A peaceful natural rest. Paw print available as an add-on for $35.

About drop-off: families bring their pet to our Grass Valley facility by appointment. If your pet passed at a veterinary clinic in Nevada City or Grass Valley, we work with many local practices and can coordinate pickup directly, ask your local vet or contact us directly.

Support for after

Losing a pet is a real loss. We provide resources to help you and your family process the experience, support groups, books, and tools that have helped others through pet loss.

We maintain a lending library of books on pet loss, including titles written specifically to help children understand and process the experience. We also host a free monthly pet loss support group, open to the community regardless of whether you used our services.
