What is a communal cremation?

Communal cremation means multiple pets are cremated together and the collective cremated remains (cremains or ashes) are spread in one of Gateway’s dedicated pet cemeteries. The cremains are not returned to you.

This option is more economical than private cremation and may be suitable if you do not wish to keep your pet’s ashes.

After the euthanasia procedure

If you have chosen to have your pet cremated after the euthanasia procedure, they will be placed in an aftercare bag and taken to our vehicle. You are welcome to assist if you wish. We will transport your pet for pick up by Gateway Pet Memorial cremation services. With communal cremation, the cremains are not returned to you.

Brooke Mobile is happy to provide in-home services for the most comfortable experience for both you and your pet. Learn more to see if our services are the right fit for you.
