What is the average price for a pet cremation in Lexington?

The average price varies by service: communal cremation is $70, individual cremation starts at $150, and a private cremation is available for $170.

Is it better to bury or cremate your pet?

It’s a personal decision. Cremation is convenient, affordable, and allows you to keep your pet’s ashes in a meaningful urn. Burial is sometimes chosen if you have private land. Both options are respectful—choose the farewell that best honors your loved one.

Do you actually get your pet’s ashes back?

Yes—if you choose individual or private cremation, you receive your pet’s ashes back. Communal cremation does not return ashes.

What are the steps for pet cremation?

Once your pet is in our care, we prepare and place them in the cremation chamber based on your chosen service. After cremation, the ashes are collected and returned to you in your selected urn or container. If communal cremation is chosen, ashes are respectfully scattered on our local farm.

Where can I put my pet’s ashes after cremation?

You can choose from a variety of urns—wooden, ceramic, shadowboxes, photo boxes, or velvet bags. Many can be personalized or engraved to create a lasting tribute to your pet.
