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 in New Albany can arrange for pick up of your pet at your home or your veterinarian’s clinic if you’re in a 25 square mile range of our facility in Jeffersonville. Your vet may be able to drop off your pet at our facility as well if you request it. We provide this convenient service to families because we know they are grieving and need help.

Laws for where cremains can be scattered vary by state. After pet cremation in New Albany Indiana, pet ashes can be scattered on private property if you have the landowner’s permission, or in designated scattering gardens in specific cemeteries. Indiana law requires you to file a form with the county within ten days of scattering, ensuring the process complies with the law and is environmentally responsible.

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.

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.

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.
