Communal Cremation

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 individual cremation and may be suitable if you do not wish to keep your pet’s ashes.

Losing a pet can be very difficult; they play such an important role in our lives. To remember them you may wish to memorialize their legacy. There are many memorial options available from Gateway Pet Memorial.

 

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.

The home visit, sedation, euthanasia, and transportation of your pet with communal cremation will cost between $715 and $765 + HST.
