Disinterment & Cremation
Respectful recovery and transfer of your pet’s remains, followed by a dignified cremation.
About This Service
For some families, circumstances change after a pet has been buried — whether moving homes, a change in family wishes, or simply wanting to have their companion’s ashes kept close. Our Disinterment & Cremation service provides a compassionate way to honor that choice.
We carefully recover your pet’s remains from their resting place and directly arrange for cremation. This ensures your pet’s journey is handled seamlessly and respectfully from start to finish, with their ashes returned to you according to your wishes.
This service is performed with the same compassion and dignity we bring to all Gentle Goodbyes offerings.

Pets give us their unconditional love every day — and we believe they deserve to be treated with the same love, dignity, and respect when it’s time to say goodbye. Gentle Goodbyes was created so families could honor their pets in a peaceful, meaningful way — right where those memories were made.”
