Returning Your Beloved Pet to You
Your pet’s cremated remains will typically be available to pick up at our location within 1-2 days* (Monday-Friday) at no charge. If you prefer, we can mail the cremated remains via U.S. Postal Service. Extra fees will apply based on the size and weight of the package and travel distance. Delivery date by U.S. Postal Service cannot be guaranteed.
*Time frame of cremation completion can be lengthened due to certain situations including, but not limited to;
- your pet coming into our care after 4 p.m.
- vet clinic is closed before we can bring your pet into our care (ex. weekends, holidays, etc.)
- weekend deaths
- special order urns or keepsakes
Please confirm with our staff when you can expect your pet’s cremated remains.
The River Valley Pet Cremation Society reserves the right to respectfully dispose of any unclaimed cremated pet remains after three months. Multiple attempts will be made to contact the family prior to disposal.
As an option, we will respectfully scatter your pet's cremated remains on our private land for an additional $95.
