Animal & Pet Cremation near New Albany Indiana

If you select our private or individual options for pet cremation, your pet’s ashes will be returned to you so you can place them in a special urn or box.  During our communal cremation selection, your pet will be cremated with other pets, and their ashes will be scattered on private land or a private farm.

Our team at Faithful Companions serves New Albany families by offering a couple of flexible options during this difficult time. You can choose the method that is most comfortable for you:

• Gentle Pet Pick-Up: We provide professional, respectful transportation directly from your home or local New Albany veterinary clinic. This service is available to anyone located within a 25-square-mile radius of our facility.

• Direct Drop-Off: If you prefer to bring your beloved companion to us yourself, you are welcome to bring them directly to our main care facility located just minutes away in neighboring Jeffersonville.

Yes, you are welcome to scatter your beloved companion's ashes, but there are a few local guidelines to keep in mind. You can freely scatter ashes on your own private property. If you wish to scatter them in a favorite public park, waterway, or state land around New Albany, it is always best to ask for permission from local authorities first.

To remain environmentally responsible and fully compliant with Indiana guidelines, a standard notification form is simply filed with the county within ten days of scattering on public lands. Our team is always here to help guide you through this process so you can create a peaceful, lasting tribute for your pet without any added stress.

After an animal cremation, we need about 48 hours for the entire cremation process to be properly completed before we can return your pet’s ashes. 

Faithful Companions is centrally located in the Kentuckiana area, so your pet’s ashes can be delivered where you prefer if you’re in a 25 square mile range of our facility in Jeffersonville.

Our cremation chambers are professionally maintained and operated between 1400 and 1800 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure remains are processed under sanctuary conditions. Before beginning a cremation, any metal implants or foreign objects are removed to prevent hazardous emissions. These steps are part of our promise to treat every pet with respect and to uphold safe, clean, and responsible practices for the benefit of the entire community.

Yes. Because your home in New Albany is within our 25-mile service radius, we can arrange to hand-deliver your pet's ashes directly to you, ensuring a seamless and comforting experience. Alternatively, if you would like to view our memorial products in person, you can choose to pick up the ashes at our Jeffersonville location.

A traditional urn is a beautiful, enclosed vessel—often made of wood, ceramic, or metal—designed specifically to safeguard your pet's ashes. A shadowbox urn offers a more visual tribute; it includes a discreet compartment for the ashes but also features a display area where you can place a favorite photograph, their collar, or a clay paw print. Both are wonderful ways to memorialize your pet and can be browsed at our Jeffersonville facility or online.

No, Faithful Companions operates a strictly animal-only crematory at our Jeffersonville location. We specialize exclusively in compassionate end-of-life care for pets. This dedicated focus ensures that your beloved dog, cat, or exotic companion receives specialized attention and that our facility remains a specialized sanctuary for honoring the lives of animals.

While we do not have a licensed grief counselor on staff, our team understands the profound heartbreak of losing a pet and approaches every family with deep empathy. We are more than happy to provide a listening ear, gentle guidance, and recommendations for local pet loss support groups and literature to help you and your family navigate this difficult time.
