As a veterinarian, you play a crucial role in helping pet owners navigate end-of-life decisions with care and compassion. At Fond Farewells, we are proud to offer cremation services as a trusted and widely chosen provider. Traditional fire-based cremation is a respectful process that uses heat to transform a pet’s remains into ashes, providing families with a meaningful way to honour their companion. By offering traditional cremation, you provide your clients with a reliable and compassionate farewell option for their beloved pets.
Frequently asked
— questions
Your clients will receive their pet's ashes in an urn or keepsake of their choice, which can be viewed on the Urns and Keepsakes page of the Fond Farewells website, and purchased through their vet. Standard ash returns take 3-5 working days, though custom urns or keepsakes may take longer. By default, ashes will be returned to your clinic unless other arrangements are made.
The cost of cremation is based on the pet's weight. This can then increase based on the owner's selection of urn or keepsake. We can supply pricing resources to help you assist with their decision.
