What are Pet Cremation Services?
Pet cremation is a respectful and safe method of aftercare following euthanasia or natural passing. At our mobile veterinary practice, we coordinate private and communal cremation options through our trusted partner, Agape Pet Services, a leading pet aftercare provider known for its gentle, transparent, and ethical practices.
We assist pet families in Chester, Colonial Heights, Hopewell, Chesterfield, and nearby areas with the details, so they can focus on remembering their pet and healing in peace.
Our Cremation Options
We offer two types of cremation to suit your personal wishes:
Private Cremation
Your pet is cremated individually, and their ashes are returned to you in a respectful and secure urn. This option is ideal for families who would like to keep a physical remembrance of their pet.
Communal Cremation
Your pet is cremated alongside other pets, and ashes are not returned. This option is often chosen by families seeking a simple, respectful farewell.
Both services are handled with the highest level of care by Agape Pet Services. We ensure safe, prompt transportation of your pet’s remains and will guide you through every step of the process.
